Ten-pin bowling was featured in the Commonwealth Games official programme in 1998 in Malaysia. England won two medals with Gemma Burden and Pauline Buck taking Doubles Bronze with Pauling taking a Silver with Richard Hood in the Mixed Doubles.
The formation of the CTBF coincided with the inaugural Commonwealth Tenpin Bowling Championships, held in Stirling, Scotland, which was enthusiastically attended by athletes and officials from 15 Commonwealth Nations. A major achievement was realised with the inclusion of Tenpin Bowling in the 2004 Commonwealth Youth Games, held in Bendigo, Australia and in accordance with one of the CTBF’s primary goals, Commonwealth Tenpin Bowling Championships have also been staged in Cyprus, Melbourne, Belfast, Kuala Lumpur and Auckland.
