Bowling Fun at the Nats

The 2008 “Brassfeast goes Bowling” at the Nationals in Brisbane over Easter is now easier to get to!

Brassfeast
 

The venue has been changed to Strike Wintergarden which is approx a 5 mins walk from the Brisbane City Hall.

Strike Wintergarden is a high energy interactive bowling experience for all the family. It combines state of the art bowling lanes and computerised scoring with plasma screens and synthetic lane surfaces.

Add funky lighting and pumping sound and this equals serious fun..plus it is situated right in the Queen St Mall in the Brisbane CBD.

Come along on Monday 24th March at 1pm (for 1.30pm start) and have some fun after the hectic weekend that is the Nationals. There are trophies to win – become the 2008 Brassfeast Champion...or the 2008 Brassfeast Worst Bowler.

For those taking part in the solos, the venue is very close to the hall so once you have performed, come along for a bowl to celebrate!

Places are limited so please email info@brassfeast.com or ring Sarah on 0419 316904 ASAP if you want to reserve your place. Tickets are $25 per person (two games, shoe hire and nibbles)

This event is supported by the Queensland Bands Association as part of the 2008 Australian Nationals calendar.
