Around 160 people gathered with ugly shoes and big balls for BLAGSS's Third Annual Ten Pin Bowling Challenge, part of Winter Pride 2007.

Various groups from within Brighton's LGBT community competed fiercely for the coveted champion's trophy. While some struggled to keep the balls from the gutter, the majority demostrated amazing talent, ensuring a deafening cacophony of falling pins all evening.

After two closely contested games, everyone retired to the bar for drinks and a light supper buffet.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the BLAGSS 10 Pin Bowling team won the team prize for the evening, followed by BLAGSS Tennis and the City of Brighton Gay Men's Chorus.

Our thanks go to all who took part and to those who helped organise what must have been one of the most well attended Winter Pride events of the season!
