Valerie, with her daughter Shani who will be responsible for operating the bowling centre, said she's receiving calls from enthusiastic bowlers even now, before the Sept. 13 reopening date. Lucky W�o4 Lanes reogene BUSINESS An extensively, renovated building will greet Lucknow. and area bowlers when Lucky Wood Lanes reopens for business on Sept. 13. Valerie Webb, who owns the .bowling centre with her husband Ernie through Ernie A. Webb Recreational Enter - prizes Ltd:, said several projects were undertaken and they improve the cen- tre's atmosphere. A drop ceiling has been installed, as has new lighting. The lanes have been resurfaced, i.ew carpeting has been layed throughout and the ductwork for the heating system has been dropped from the attic to just above the new ceiling. Where there haven't been renovations, a cleanup has been done. The business will be owner operated as well, something the Listowel woman obviously feels will provide good ser- vice to the business's patrons. The couple's daughter, Shani, will be supervising the goings on in the building. The young . woman has been involved in the business in some,capaci- ty or another for about 12 years at. the Listowel bowling centre the recrea- tional company owns. "Even when she wasn't tall enough to run the machines, she could tell you how to do it," said Valerie. She's been running the pin resetting machines now for about eight years. Shani . also has an Ontario youth championship under her belt. Through the Youth Bowling Council, an organization Valerie is very en- thusiastic about, Shani won her cham- pionship. • "It's a super organization for kids. Whereas with hockey you have to put a lot of moneyout on equipment, with bowling you payfor shoes andthe games." The bowling centre plans to set up a league foryoung bowlers. "If anyone is interested in working with.YBC, we'll readily accept any'help,". said Valerie. And of course there are the other. leagues. The senior citizen .league will bestarting on Sept. 26 and the Kinloss league has also booked time. "The men normally bowled Tuesday night, the Lucknow Dungannon league bowled Wednesday and Thursday and the two ladies' leagues bowled Monday. We still have times available for leagues." There are also plans to encourage a ladies' afternoon league, if there is suf- ficient interest. Other plans include holding a bowling clinic sone time this fall to help people with the. fundamentals of the game. "Ernie just got his level two (a profi- ciency level) so now he can teach peo- ple bowling,'' explained Valerie. They shouldn't have any trouble fulfilling their goals., People have been dropping around after seeing the work being done on the building and phone • calls have started coming;in requesting information. Anyone needing informa- tion about leagues is asked to call the Webbs . at their business number, 291- 2100 or their home number, 291-107. Both are Listowel phone numbers. The family is.committed to providing: a recreational service to the village and is equally committed to the sport. In fact, they just purchased their third bowling property, this one in Mount Forest. After a long year without the sport in Lucknow, bowling fans Will pro- bably be lining up at the door on the Sept.. 13 re -opening night.
