We'll have room for one new bowler for the 3rd and 4th quarters as one of our current bowlers is moving out of state at the end of December. First one to respond to this message in Facebook, Messenger or e-mail gets the spot. If we have three bowlers wanting to join optional singles, I am able to expand the divisions to 84 bowlers (7 divisions of 12 bowlers each) from our current strength of 82 bowlers.
