🎳 NIMBA Father’s Day Social – Bowling & Beers 🎳
The Keys
19:30 – 22:00
“Careful, man, there’s a beverage here!” 🍺   NIMBA Dads (and Dads-to-be), it’s time to abide. We’re celebrating Father’s Day with an informal catch-up: dinner, drinks, and of course a little bowling. Think of it as a chance to roll out your best Big Lebowski quotes, hurl a few strikes, or just hang out with some good company.   We’ve got a lane booked from 8pm for one hour. The venue suggests rolling in early if you want to bowl (socks & flat shoes required). But hey - “the Dude minds, man” if you stress. No pressure: if bowling isn’t your thing, or you can only drift in later, that’s cool.   Dinner and drinks can be purchased at the bar. (“This is not ‘Nam. There are rules.” …but you can order whatever you like.) 📍 Venue details: see the Facebook event ✅ RSVP via Facebook or get a ticket here so we can confirm numbers with the venue.   Hosts: Shaun Bright & Rob Kinghorn 📸 We may take photos on the night to share on Facebook – let us know if you don’t want to appear.   So join us for a night where the strikes and gutters, ups and downs all count. After all - “that’s just, like, your opinion, man.”
