moetchampers Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi Patriotsfan, my parents used to bowl in one of the leagues there,in the 60s,, prob around 1968/70. They were "The Moonbugs"! I was about 8 0r 9 and used to run around chasing my brother on the space hopper from the play room, that was at lane no 1 end!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasha_78 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I hung out at the Firth Park Bowling Alley for 2 or 3 years in the 60s. I thought nothing of travelling from Gleadless where I lived to hang out with my friends there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
