This was our first full year at Firth Park and – a first in Student Bowling – we were sponsored for the whole season by Guinness. The money helped us pay for buses every Wednesday from the Union to Firth Park, and helped us keep up full membership. Guinness also sponsored a tournament.

We also took on the responsibility of running the National Student Bowling League for the UCTBA, with Mif, Jim, Dave and Ozz, and lots of time on the University’s computer system. We produced weekly reports for the whole of the UK.

We again won our Zone and became the first University to win the National Championships three years in a row. We were runners-up in the UAU Championships and had two more bowlers picked to represent the UAU, – Dave Antcliffe and Mif Smith.

In the University competitions, Kate Frizelle came 2nd in the Sheffield Singles behind Judy Howlett. The Ladies Team came 2nd in the Leeds Trios (Janet Davis, Kate Frizelle and Gill Bussel), the Men coming 5th (Ian Austin, Dave Rowe and Cliff Bryant). We took first place in the Handicap section of the Brunel Doubles with Paul Taylor and Chris Greener. A really successful year.
