Leagues

At GObowling Dunstable we are committed to providing bowling conditions of the highest standard to our many valued league bowlers. Our synthetic lanes combined with the state-of-the-art Kustodian Lane Maintenance machine help us provide high-quality consistent lane conditions. We have also invested in a brand new QubicaAMF scoring system, which offers a number of special features for our leagues and league bowlers.
Our league bowler membership scheme provides bowlers with discounted rates for bowling, drinks and food.
Also, Andy Penny's Ballmaster Pro Shop offers league bowlers a precision ball-drilling service and a wide range of excellent bowling equipment. You can also book one-to-one coaching sessions with Andy to enhance your skills using our Computer Aided Training System (CATS). Click here to visit the PROShop.
If you would like to join one of our many existing leagues or would like to discuss bringing a league from another centre, please contact our League and Tournament Coordinator, Andrew Collins, on 01582 472727.
