I currently compete in the Tenpin Tour, am a member of the Sussex Senior Men's Team and I am the Secretary for the Gatwick Tri-Stars League.

Kirstie Western
Secretary and Senior Men's Manager
Bowling makes me happy, and I do these roles within the STBA because helping promote, encourage, and build the sport with the support of the team around me, also makes me happy. Bowling is for all, whoever you are, and the inclusivity of it is something to celebrate and share and I enjoy being able to do this within both of my jobs.
