Martyn: Lane Technician
Being an avid bowler myself, I know what bowlers expect when they take to the lanes.
From making sure the approaches are in great condition, taking great care when oiling the lanes; we put the bowler in the forefront of our minds.
Being in the business for over 20 years and inheriting the machines from the last technician (the fantastic James), I know what it takes to keep free-fall machines running in tip top shape so that the bowler can be free from any worry that their equipment is going to get damaged, or if the machines are going to stop.
It’s hugely important to us to keep traditional free-fall pinsetters going, and that can be enjoyed at Stroud Bowl - one of the top centres in the UK.
