We invite you to an evening of tenpin bowling, good food, and great company. Whether you’re in it for the strikes or just here to give it a go, this event is for everyone. It’s all about connection and a bit of fun to close out the year.
Each event will feature casual team bowling, prizes, and scores that feed into a national leaderboard.
