They bowl on Thursday nights at 7pm. The league ends April 22nd and has a fabulous banquet at the end of its season.

The Central New York USBC has learned of the passing of SBA Hall of Farmer Cliff Saliba. Our deepest sympathies to his family and friends. He will definitely be missed by the bowling community.

To all CNYUSBC members and proprietors, I have recently submitted my resignation to our local CNYUSBC office. I have been a director for 14 years, and Vice President for 8 years. Despite the current condition of bowling, as we are in the midst of a perfect storm, I have been proud of being associated with both the SBA and the merger which created CNYUSBC 3 years ago. And I hope I have served the bowling community well.... This is not an impulsive decision, I gave it a lot of thought. Being way past retirement age, one would think my employment life would become easier. Unfortunately, it hasn’t as we are doing more with less, which requires much more time on my part. And I can’t do both anymore. Proprietors, feel free to contact me if you wish to have a voluntary inspection. It’s not required, as all centers are certified this year. But I can’t answer for National USBC as they’ve informed us they will handle inspection themselves in the coming years. In any event, I’ve appreciated all your support in the past 14 years. Thank you CNYUSBC, SBA, and especially the bowlers. RRRIPKA

Update on bowling this season:

I received an email from the county execitive office Friday night. Tomorrow (Monday) the bowling community will get the guidelines from the govenor. Let's all keep an open mind and get the season underway in a few weeks.

New York Govenor said bowling centers can open Monday. Guidelines to follow! This is great news!

The county executive spoke about getting bowling open. He said it was brought up in his conference call with the governor. He will be working hard to get the guidelines and plans moving. I have placed a call to his office to discuss further details with him. Keep the emails going to him and the govenor! Fingers crossed and prayers! There is hope!

Attention bowlers: the Central New York Association has sent emails about getting the centers open to the govenor and to our county executive. We have yet to get any answers. We have been in contact with some of our proprietors and will be contacting them to check in on things. We will keep sending emails and letters to the governor and county executive until we get an answer. Many bowlers and proprietors across the state have been sending emails and letter too! We will update as soon as we know more. Thank you and stay healthy and safe
