Hi All,

Please make an effort to support Sportsman’s Lanes, bowling alley in Siler City.
It’s easy to find on Rt 64, set-up on the hill from road in a olde brick building, next to Hess Gas Station.
The owners have recently re-painted, they’re working to make a go of it for the community and surrounding area.  The owner’s have been great in opening when school is out.
Party room available for birthday parties, get together ~ a fun place, locally, to take your family & friends!

Subject: Sportsman Lanes Bowling Center – Chatham we’re still here!!!

Sportsman Lanes Bowling Center
210 E 11st
Siler City, NC

Just to get everyone on the same page, I closed the bowling alley a few weeks ago.  I received  so many emails from individuals regarding the closing that I talked with my partners and we decided that somehow we had to give it one more try.  I apprieciate each one of the concerned citiziens that requested we try to keep the alleys open and ask each of you to be my advertisers in the area to get the patronage that it is going to require to keeps these lanes rolling.  We are going to get that restaurant in here, and have already installed a few laser lights for mid-night bowling. Somehow this place is going to last!!!
We offer a smoke free, fun, family friendly, fun, relaxing, and did I say fun environment…

Subject: And yet another cycling accident near Jordan Lake

Having just caught up with the news of the recent hit and run incident in North Chatham County in the Raleigh paper, where comments were abundant on both sides of the issue of cyclists on the roads, it is perhaps time to remind those cycling on the roads around Jordan Lake that certain risks must be accepted in this sport, just as risks have to be accepted when skiing down a mountain.  There are many boat trailers traversing these roads and many drivers have no idea whether their boat trailer tires are on the road or not.  The sun is going down in the afternoons, often creating glares on the windows of motorists when many are cycling and not clearly seen.
