What we’re about

A group for bowling, volleyball, tennis and other casual activities.

Most of what we do is considered active recreation. Other events will come with their own set of details.

Many who choose to participate are playing for the first time ever or in years. Most members of this group do not participate in a league or partake in the various activities multiple times a week. However, it's perfectly fine if you do.

We welcome people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities!! We're not here to analyze your form or skills. We're here for friendly competition and socializing. Over time, we've begun to see a lot of familiar faces, and hope you've noticed them too.

One of the group's goals is to have few rules and no real structure. You don't have to do anything ahead of time. You just show up and have a good time.

You pay for your own bowling games. Volleyball and tennis are outside and free. Food and drinks can be purchased at the alleys, but for the other two, you'd BYO if you had an interest.

Somedays, we may have to wait until lanes or courts free up. It's certainly possible, we may have to relocate or cancel if they're busy upon arrival. Please keep that in mind if you're traveling from far away.

Questions, comments or ideas? You can message Andy Milone on Meetup, or call/text him at 201-234-9609.

Featured event

Bowling Night - North Jersey

Fri, Feb 20 · 7:30 PM EST

Montvale Lanes, 14 West Grand Avenue, Montvale, NJ, US

This is an event for casual bowling at Montvale Lanes, 14 W. Grand Ave. All are welcome for two games, food and drinks, and any post- or pre-game hang out. Questions or comments? You can message Andy Milone on Meetup, or call/text him at 201-234-9609.

*** Before bowling, we might stop by the Pizza Parlour, 6 S. Kinderkamack Road, for a few slices at 6:15 p.m. Post a comment on the event page to gauge interest. After bowling, we'll definitely be heading to Davey's Irish Pub & Restaurant, 5 Park St., at 10 p.m. for a few drinks and appetizers. You can park in the alley parking lot and walk on over. ***

About the group: We're not professionals and we're not in a league. In fact, we're a group of people who probably each won't score more than 100 points and will land more than our fair share of gutter balls. There's no pressure at all!!!! We're not here to analyze your form or technique.

More event details: You pay for your own games, food and drinks. Please bring cash. The alley does not accept card. But there is an ATM on site. The cost per player is $18 for two games and bowling shoes. If you have your own shoes, the cost is $12. Please try to bring exactly the amount since I'll have a limited amount of change. If you bring a $20 bill and I don't have change, any remainder would just go toward the tip.

Food and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) are available on site, plus tables and an alley bar to hang at during the event. There's a dart board and few arcade games, as well.

We meet inside around the front desk. Look for a growing group of people. Call or text Andy Milone at 201-234-9609 if you can't find us.

Please know that it is possible we have to wait for 30 minutes until lane(s) free up. It's certainly possible that we may have to relocate or cancel that night if there's a long wait list upon arrival. Please keep that in mind if traveling from far away!

For those who don't have cars or are looking to avoid driving, the Montvale Train Station is only like a five-minute walk from the bowling alley and can be reached via the Pascack Valley Line. Last train leaves at 12:20 a.m. and heads toward Hoboken. (https://gmtma.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rail_system_map.jpg)
