COBA Hall of Fame A reminder to all our bowlers that this year’s Hall of Fame will in fact be more of a birthday party to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. This year while we will still be highlighting our Open teams who will be representing our Zone at the Provincial Open in Hamilton we hope that many of our bowlers who have been with us over the past 50+ years will join us to help celebrate and to renew some old friendships. We look forward to seeing everyone there.
