I had forgotten how physical bowling can be. We had around 20 of us for the continuing 60th birthday bizzo. The older venues never had a bar as far as I can remember. The old haunt we went to in Fletcher St closed up years ago so Strike must be reinventing things.
I remember at about age 20 and in my first week of work at the MMBW, there was a gathering around someone's desk whom I did not know. He had turned 65 and was compulsorily being retired. I had a few brief words as he was about to leave. He could not afford to retire, was still paying off the house and needed to work. He said voluntarily you could leave as early as 55 and forcibly you had to go at 65. So after the first week in work I thought ok I will split the difference and aim to retire at 60 and also have the house paid off. It turned out fairly close to that.
