Curtin Malaysia hosting 2nd Deputy Pro Vice-Chancellor’s Cup bowling competition

Miri – 13 September 2017 – The Curtin Bowling Club and the Sports and Recreation Services section of Curtin University, Malaysia (Curtin Malaysia) will be hosting the 2nd Curtin Malaysia Deputy Pro Vice-Chancellor’s Cup bowling competition at Megalanes East Bowling Centre, Bintang Megamall on 28 October 2017.

It will be the largest bowling competition organised by Curtin Malaysia for 2017 and bowling enthusiasts of all ages from East Malaysia and Brunei are encouraged to participate along with players from Curtin Malaysia.

Prizes amounting to RM5,850 will be awarded to the winners, in addition to trophies, hampers and certificates of participation. Participants will also be eligible to win prizes for Best Male Player and Best Female Player.

According to Curtin Bowling Club advisor Jameson Malang, the competition serves to promote bowling as a fun and healthy activity among the participants. It is also hoped that it will help to build closer rapport between the bowling communities in Miri and in other parts of East Malaysia and Brunei.

The competition will comprise two sessions – a closed ‘Curtin Category’ session for Curtin Malaysia staff and students from 9 am to 2 pm, and an open ‘Public Category’ session from 2 pm to 7 pm.

The registration fee for the ‘Public Category’ is RM200 per team and RM120 for Curtin Malaysia staff and students in the ‘Curtin Category’. Each team can field a maximum of four players.

Registration forms are available at Megalanes East Bowling Centre and the deadline for registration is 21 October 2017.

The inaugural competition last year saw 92 bowlers from Miri, Sibu, Bintulu and Brunei taking part, with winners taking home RM5,500 worth of prizes.
