Italy Senior Open Bowling - Bologna 1st to 5th June

This week I travel to Bologna to play in my first international senior open tournament.  The Senior open tours are reserved for elite bowlers over 50 years.  There are some famous names amongst the competitors such as Chris Vandamme. So far, there are over 400 squad reservations and the best 34 scores will go to the finals on Sunday 5th June.
This will be my first visit to Bologna itself and I look forward to discover this famous city and its environs.  I have hired a car and will find time to explore the surrounding countryside.
I have been training regularly and I aim to play well. Update: my first two entries in the tournament (valid for qualification):
204-205-254-233-242-204 = 1341
245-197-225-226-233-227 = 1353
