Bowling Night

by Bernardo Pisarzewski

Collector cars? Bowling? How the two mix, I 'll never know….but here we are.

At the suggestion of our benevolent director (and long-time Jaguar-phile) Bernard Bellavance, the VEA held a bowling night, in order to fill a vacancy in the activities calendar for the month of January. Perhaps bowling might not be everyone's cup of tea, but for the few that braved the first winter storm of 2007, the trek was well worth it.

About a dozen die-hard members congregated in Chateauguay, to show off their bowling skills (or lack of). Given that most in attendance were not seasoned bowlers, competition gave way to good natured frustration. Apart from the two lanes that were reserved for the club, the gutter lane saw frequent traffic, especially by those who NEVER bowled before. However, if bowling was not your forté, then the pizza and beer that was offered by the VEA, certainly hit the spot. Or if you weren't a pizza and beer aficionado, then seeing a group of seasoned car collectors (wearing flashy bowling shoes) trying to master the intricacies of bowling, certainly would have tickled anyone's funny bone.

The VEA thanks André Gagné for having organized this enjoyable evening and hopefully we'll see more of you next year.
