Hi; A group of senior citizens gather each Friday at Falls Church bowling lanes. We meet at 12:15 pm, and bowl 3 games for five dollars. Shoes are free for the asking.If we have enough people, we bowl for $4.20. The management isn't very friendly; but we have fun anyway. Last week the manager said we needed 6 people to get this rate. This week she said we will need 10. We are taking a break for the holidays and will resume bowling after the new year. These lanes are not going to be around very long, so we welcome any senior citizens to come out and a fun afternoon of bowling. We do not compete against each other, only against ourselves. Come on out and bring your friends. Help spread the word. Thanks, Jim Jim Viel helenviel@peoplepc.com

Lori, I took 8 kids, we had had 2 lanes. Split them up into two teams and I the kept score for all of them. The hardest part is that they all kept jumping onto the lane while the others were bowling. I must have said "Get off the lanes while others are bowling", or "One at a time!" over 100 times. LOL They had a blast. Have you seen the new Duckpin Bowling Message Board?

Robin, about the duckpins party, the 13 kids just bowled & bowled for an hour. Each kid had their 3 turns, resent the pins & got to the back of the line. AMF CP gave us 4 lanes & didn't care that we were'nt keeping score. This way the kids didn't get too bored waiting & could bowl to their heart's content. I plan to hold another duckpin party for my daughter in another 2 years (she asked for a roller skating party in Rockville for next year) P.S. How did the party food work out at White Oak? AMF CP delivered 3 pizzas promptly. There is no party room, but that's OK.

Last weekend I held my daughter's 6th birthday party at AMF College Park lanes. 13 kids total & I think they had a great time - some had never done duckpins before. AMF CP offered 1 hour of bumper bowling, shoe rentals, pizza & sodas, the birthday girl got a bowling pin (tenpin size tho) suitable for signing. I thought the package was a good bargain. Check the closest duckpin alleys to you - most will have a great birthday party package.

Nice web site. I used to bowl ducks for many years but family, job and other activites took up my time. I'm always planning on returning some day. I hope there are some alleys left when that day finally arrives. I agree with your comments about it being a great sport...or game...for those hard core Xgame folks that will question the "sport" of it. Anyway, it's great fun, you make good friends, and if you bowl long enough and hit enough tournaments, you'll end up with a bundle of funny stories. Does anyone know if Capeway Lanes are still open in Taunton/Raynham area. You want a challenge...go to that rock house. Happy trails everyone.

WASSUP DUCKPINNERS! I am on a 10-pin bowling league for youths, which I enjoy very much. My family and I were looking for an alley one day, and we found a duckpin alley, which dissapointed us until we tried it. It was a welcome change to those heavy balls, and is probably the only non-virtual sport I beat my dad at, even thought it was only by one!

Please patronize it before they close, they're in the Glenmont Shopping Center on Georgia Ave. at the intersection of Randolph & Layhills Rds. in N Silver Spring, MD. It's one of the duckpins lanes that looks the same as it did 40 years ago. Goodbye Tuffys!

I am very interested in starting a duckpin bowling business here, that is why I am looking at your web site.

Hello again, I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank you again, and to wish every bowler to have a great successful year. Keep those averages up, and if there not up to par, go get it. Go for your goal and play to win. As a fellow duckpinner, I'm here to just say keep the good spirits alive. Recruit: We need bowlers around Maryland. Too many alleys are shutting down, keep asking your friends, family, and co-workers to bowl, they'll come around. I'm out for now. Thank you, and good luck to everyone for the season of '03.

LITTLESTOWN, PA USA - Saturday, July 13, 2002 at 05:31:14 (EDT)

Robin: Has anyone contacted AMF about resupplying duckpin equipment or purchasing the patents for duckpin machine manufacture? It seems with the number of alleys still operating, there is a built up demand for new parts and machinery. With good marketing, a considerable demand for new establishments could be developed. Has anyone approached AMF with this concept? Has the Duckpin Association ever attempted it (logic tells me that they probably have). Has there been any thought to organizing a letter writing campaign targeting AMF and demanding that the sport be supported? I'd be interested in hearing from you or anyone who has been involved in any action with AMF or attempted to instigate a grass-roots effort to build the sport.

great website ! it's nice to see duckpin bowling is continuing to grow globally. my native country, the Philippines, has many duckpin bowling fanatics. we also produced world class bowlers did very well in the then-active IBA (international bowling association) 1st and second World Cup Tournaments participated by several countries including USA, Canada, Argentina, and The Philippines. I used to participate in the many National Tournaments in Manila and all over my country but unfortunately, I am not able to find a Duckpin Bowling Center where I reside. Duckpin Bowling is a sport that requires good skills, accuracy, discipline, and practice but I guess it has been underrated and so therefore, we hear more of the Tenpin game. I'd like to acknowledge the best filipino duckpin bowlers in the late 70's and 80's who did our country proud like Lita de la Rosa (RIP), Eddie Bourbon (RIP), Jun Matalote, Aleli Sindo, Obet Raquel, and many others. I don't know if PHIDBC is still active but one thing for sure, it has brought me and my parents many memorable moments and gave us the opportunity to compete with thousands of bowling fanatics. My Dad wants to say hello also to a good friend, Judge Dan Sindo, one time IBA President and PHIDBC founder. My Dad ,migrated to the states can't play now but he had fond memories of the sport in our homeland. MORE POWER TO DUCKPIN BOWLING!!! very truly yours, anna joaquin santos detroit, michigan

Hello everyone! Robin, great website. Let me say that I feel like too many bowlers who are active in this great game, knowing and thinking constantly that this game is losing its stride. Like so many of you out there, I wish there was a way to prevent this situation. I live only 3 miles from a 30-lane center which is located in Westport, MA. What I wouldn't give to own that place and run it with one thing in mind.....the promotion of Duckpin bowling. It is not a question of bowling centers closing down, it is a question of these centers being taken over by people who care about duckpins and the betterment of the game. For now, we survive, but the future is something we all have to strive to protect in this, the greatest of all bowling games. Thanx, Ron P.

Hey, I'm a Rubberband duckpin bowler from central Pennsylvania, so there are some of us still out there! Zips Classic lanes is a split duck/ten-pin alley (4 ten-pin lanes, i think 16 duckpin lanes). My friend and I (both 24) joined the fall/winter league and are getting more of our friends involved, trying to get some more young blood in the leagues. We're having a great time (averages moving towards 130 for both of us, i just rolled a 248 last night) and I hope that I can find a duckpin lane wherever I move next.

I am a big fan of duckpins. I quit bowling 10 pins as a protest to my former bowling center proprietor who didn't live up to his promise when he announced that after the remodel of his center he was going to install 8 lanes of ducks. When he didn't follow through, I retired officially from 10 pins. Now I sit at home and hope and pray that someone will open up a duckpin center. Used to have relatives in Maryland and thats how I got interested in the game. I HATE 10 PINS...THEY SUCK!!!

I just wanted to give my thoughts on duckpin bowling. I love the sport and its sad to see it declining. I think we just need to keep on promoting the sport and coming up with new ideas in order to keep this wonderful game alive. Go check out my page on last years July North/South tournament in CT, and if the link doesnt work then go through duckpins.com's tournament section. Also, anyone know how I can order some bowling balls cheap through the internet and which kind of bowling balls have the best grip. Thanks

What about Rubberband Duckpin Bowling? Cannot find any sites ,has the sport vanished? My dad was a big time bowlerin the 60's in southwestern PA. Moving to Canada in the 70's he bowled pro and had his own 24 lane house. I'll provide some of his stats in the future. For now would love to find a complete set of rubber ducks but will really settle for just one, as a memorial to go along with his original balls "Georgia" & "Virginia", since he passed away in May of 2001. And would love to here from anyone who bowled or remembered my dad a.k.a Billy The Kid. Thanks.

HI EVERYONE, I WAS A BOWLER OF DUCKS UP IN TORRINGTON,CT. AT THE TORRINGTON BOWLING CENTER WHICH IS NOW GONE. THEN I BOWLED AT THE ARCADE LANES IN THE SAME TOWN, NOW THERE GONE. IT IS VERY SAD TO SEE SUCH A GREAT SPORT AND RECREATION DISAPPEARING. I MISS IT TERRIBLY, I BOWL THE BIG PINS NOW, JUST BECAUSE TI IS THE ONLY THING TO DO, AVERAGE 203, BIG DEAL! I AVERAGED 142 IN 1988 WHEN I LEFT CT, TO MOVE TO FLORIDA. WAS ON THE PRO TOUR FOR ONLY ONE YEAR, BUT DIDN'T MAKE ANY MONEY THOU. ALMOST QUALIFIED ONCE. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. GOD BLESS ALL YOU DUCKPIN BOWLERS AND SOMEONE OPEN ONE UP DOWN HERE. I WOULD BE EVEN INTERESTED IN INVESTING WITH SOMEONE TO GET ONE STARTED DOWN HERE, TAKE CARE AND HIT-EM BIG.

Anybody know of any lanes in Florida? I loved to play in CT, but nobody down here even knows what I'm talking about when I say duckpin. Such a tourist destination should hiave this game!

Awesome site. I am so glad I found it. Duckpin bowling is my all time favorite sport! I have been playing it since I was born!

I'm glad to see a site for this. The lanes in Mount Airy are great! Leagues galore. I need to know where I can order duck pin bowling balls from the internet.We love it.
