Bowling is on for this Saturday however it has been moved to the Coral Springs Sparez and it looks really good that Bill Lindsay will be joining us. 

Here's the details.... 

Sparez

Margate, Florida 33065

954.752.5270

$15.00 per person.

Bowling from 3:00 to 5:00. If you want you can arrive a few minutes early to get shoes on and set up lanes.

Please RSVP via email so we know how many lanes we will need.

The alley is a little difficult to find so let me give you some directions.

If you are heading west on Sample Rd turn left on Holiday Springs Blvd. about a block down turn on the drive between Kindercare and LaPetite and then follow the road around to the left. The Bowling alley is in the back corner of the lot.

If you are heading east on Sample Rd just after Riverside Dr there will be a guard over the canal there will be an alley behind Roy's. Follow the alley all the way to the back of the parking lot.  

Also, if you have not renewed yet for the 2010-2011 season there will be applications at bowling for you to renew!

The Booster club is putting together a fundraising bowling league.   We were looking for a fun and relaxing way for Panther fans to get together outside of the BankAtlantic Center and introduce them to a club they may not know exists.  Sign up as a team or individually.   The Panthers will be donating some prizes and we will have end of the year prizes for the top team.  Below is the schedule for bowling.  

For the most part it is every other Monday except for November when we have consecutive Monday Home games.    There are NO Panther home games on any of these dates.

10/26

11/9, 11/30

12/14, 12/28

1/11, 1/25

2/8, 2/22

3/8, 3/22

4/5, 4/19

5/3

The cost per week will be $15.00 for Non-Booster Members and $13.50 for Club members. If you get the membership (saving $21 over 14 weeks) prior to bowling, you would also benefit from other Booster events and privileges throughout the year.

*****If you have any questions or are ready to sign up please send an email to RVTWagner@aol.com. I will be closing registration on Wed. October 21st so I can finalize teams before our first night.

All bowling will take place at SpareZ at The Springs, 8034 West Sample Road, Margate, FL 33065.
