How old is your league?
« on: February 21, 2008, 11:22:22 PM »
The league that I bowl in on Thursday nights (North Hampton Merchants) started in 1952.  It started in a center that is no longer there.  It then moved to another center that has since been torn down but the league itself, has survived since 1952!  One of the guys we bowled against last night joined the league in 1953!  That is amazing.  So how old is your league?

i bowl in a bi-weekly league that has had 3 generations of my family bowling. I used to watch my grandparents bowl when i a little kid and i'm 36 now. I actually have a trophy for mens high average and it is straight out of "kingpin"(70s).

The center here was built in the early 50's, 52 or 53 I think, and the league I bowl in on thursday has been there ever since it opened.
