unique: It is one of the recreation sports that is suit- able for anybody, any age. According to Centennial Lanes owner Jim Rider there are 370 people who 8 bowl in the ten weekly leagues in his establishment. "It's really grown in eight years," says Rider, who along with his wife Viv has owned the six lane alley for those past eight years. He g¢says there are several reasons for the enthusiasm locally. Apparently, people come from Oshawa and Little Britain occasionally because they don't have to wait for the lanes. By com- parison, Uxbridge has a 12 v lane alley. 'sometimes I wish we had 12 lanes and other times I wish we had two," stated the owner. Other reasons given for the rise in popularity here include the increase in hous- ging developments; there is "one just behind the lanes, and possibly because the rates are very affordable. Family bowling, which occurs on Sunday afternoons from 2:00 to 7:30 p.m. and on ¢ Fridays, can be enjoyed for 80c for adults and 50c for public school students. Shoe rental is added on top of that. Rider says "Anybody can come in and bowl," at these times. 'Most of the people who ¢ bowl have bowled in here for years. It's just their night out,"' Rider continued. The league schedule goes like this: Monday night there are two ladies circuits, at 7:00 and 9:00 p.m.; Tuesday PARKING FOR Thornton Rd. S. EL Rd. S. \ Thickson Rd. S Cham | Bloor St. W. 370 bowlers compete in ten leagues by Danny Millar . Bowling in Port Perry is afternoons at 1:00 the ladies hold court again; the men take over at 7:00 Tuesday evening and are followed by the only mixed league at 9:00; the ladies are back at it again twice on Wednesdays before the men have it twice on Thursdays. There is a couples league at 8:00 Sun- day evenings. Senior citi- zens take over the lanes for their weekly workout on Thursday afternoons. No wonder Rider states "we"re in leagues all through the week." Prices to join one of these leagues varies from $2.00 to $3.00. With the large number turning out, it is very diffi- cult to get on a league immediately. Rider ex- plains the process of becom- ing a full-fledged member of the bowling fraternity. "Most leagues have spares and they bowl spares until they can get in a league." This week is a special one for the partisans of Centen- nial. The Big Brothers are holding their fund raising for the scores from their second games. This will occur throughout all the leagues. Jim and Viv Rider have owned the Centennial Lanes for nine years, and both are very active in the leagues. "I bowl in three leagues, she bowls four," he says. There is a little room for growth left on the tight sche- dule for Port Perry. "I could throw in another 36 bowlers on Wednesday night, the Tuesday mens and Tuesday mixed aren't full yet." They will' be looking for new bowlers next year. THE DURHAM REGION'S LARGEST, EASY-TO-GET TO SHOPPING MALL WITH OVER 150 STORES AND SERVICES, 5,000 CARS. Bond St. W. PE King St. W.
