A Newsletter Publication of the Niagara Tenpin Bowling Association………………..volume 2 issue 2
The Hall of Fame in the Niagara area is to honour, pay tribute and perpetuate the names of the
members who have contributed to the growth and welfare of tenpin bowling in our association
through their bowling achievements or meritorious service, even if posthumously.
This year there was 4 extraordinary ladies inductees into the Hall of Fame this past March at Cataract Bowl.
Marj Hicks, Charlotte Konkle, Gail Navarroli and Sharon Walsh. All were inducted for Meritorious Service.
CHARLOTTE was a member of NPWBA since its beginning in Niagara in 1979. She served as second vice president
and became President in 86/87 and served in this position until March of ’91 and then again was elected as Presi-
dent in 1996 and served in this position until the jointed association was formed. Charlotte was founder/chairperson
of the NPWBA Champagne Tournament for 10 years, a CTF delegate for 10 years and a WIBC delegate 10 years.
Charlotte served on all committees in the NPWBA. She served as director of OPWBA 14 years, held office of vice
president for 1 year and on several committees. Charlotte was on the transition committee when NTBA was formed
and is currently serving as the vice president as well as being on several committees.
Charlotte also serves on the Ontario Tenpin BA and was elected president this season. She has been OTBA Ontario
Seniors Tournament chairperson for 3 years and was chairperson for the 2008 Provincial Championship Tournament
held here in Niagara. Charlotte also is a life member of NPWBA and NTBA.
MARJ become a member of the women’s association (NPWBA) in 1985. Secretary in 1985 and served in this posi-
tion and as secretary/treasurer for eighteen years. Along with this position she was also tournament director for their

Bowl and was NPWBA’s first and only Secretary of the Year. Gail was instrumental along with others in starting the
Junior program at Cataract and coached and ran this league for many years.
One other thing Gail was known for was getting bowlers together and arranging for bus trips to various tournaments
both National and Provincial, always with amusing incidents. Sadly we lost an active and supportive member when
Gail passed away in 2003.

Watch your Ball Cross
that Mark
It doesn't matter whether you focus on a mark,
or on an area of the lane, as long as you focus
on something. "Hold that pose" until your ball
crosses over that mark, this will ensure that you
are not rushing out of your approach.
