Life members and Hall of Fame
Sporting events can only succeed when the organisers have the help of dedicated workers, many of them behind the scenes. The majority of these people don't receive the accolades they deserve for the many hours put into organising and running the tournaments, but they continue to do the job year after year, just for the love of it.
All of the committee members of Tenpin Australia Inc. and the affiliated associations are unpaid volunteers, and without their dedication there would not be an East Coast Challenge Cup, Championships or Masters tournament.
Life membership and Hall of Fame inductions are not handed out lightly, but after many years of service to Tenpin Australia Inc. these men and women have earned the distinction.
