📅 Wednesday 30 September

🎳 1 hour of coaching
🏆 Led by a qualified bowling coach
The aim is simple - learn the basics, build confidence, improve technique and ditch those bumpers! 💪🎳
👤 One-on-one coaching is also available for children who would benefit from some extra individual tuition. From just $36 for 30mins
And if your little bowler gets REALLY into it...
👀 Our Pro Shop is coming soon! Kids will eventually be able to purchase their own bowling ball, drilled specifically to fit their hand size
Who knows... we might have the next bowling superstar starting right here at Retrobowl!

When booking, write "Learn to Bowl" in the notes, along with your child's age
24 spots available - get in quick!
Meet Luke, the famous bowler who got 299 out of a possible 300 a few weeks ago!! (obviously this clip was filmed before then)
After 3 years of bowling, he's built his skills through league nights and even competes in a couple of tournaments each year.
We caught up with him to chat about his bowling journey, what keeps him coming back, and why league bowling is such a great way to improve and have fun.
Thinking about giving league bowling a go? This might be the sign you need! 🎳
“DON’T PANIC… WE HAVEN’T GOT RID OF THE BAR!
If you’ve been coming to Retrobowl since the 80s, you might be a little confused… 🍺
We’ve just moved the bar behind the front counter - making it a one-stop shop for EVERYTHING!
No more standing around waiting for someone to notice you at the bar. Just head to the front counter and our team can sort you out with drinks, food, bowling, arcade top-ups and more
Same bar. Same good times. Just in a much better spot! 🙌
How cool is this! Love this old scoring system & signage soooo retro 😎
We clean and oil the lanes twice a week to keep them in mint condition

You’re about to witness something pretty special in Southland!! 👇
Last night during Steve’s Auto League, local legend Luke (lrbxiii_bowling) bowled 299!!! Just a nail biting 1 point off the perfect score you can achieve of 300 😬
There have been 4 bowlers who have achieved a 300 score since 1987 when the bowling alley was opened which shows how hard this is to achieve. You can see the plaques awarded to these 4 players on our wall
Fun fact: There has only ever been one other 299 score during our history
Massive congratulations Luke!! We’re pretty confident we’ll be needing to add a perfect 300 score plaque to the wall for you soon enough 😃
