Heinz Gress

Heinz has been a self employed business man for most of his adult life.

Heinz is a Tool Maker by trade and the discipline learned and ability to create a tool for a task has been invaluable during his business life. Heinz operated a successful tool making business in Sydney before relocating the business to Coffs Harbour.  Recognising the limitations imposed by distance Heinz started a manufacturing and retail operation based around the leisure activity of fishing.  Sale of the retail and manufacturing operation and a honest evaluation of his future during the “recession we had to have” led to another business venture, aquaculture.

Heinz became one of the leading experts in his area of aquaculture with his expertise being applied to the farming of eels and consulting roles within the industry.  Aquaculture is still an area of interest for Heinz although he has sold all his interests and effectively retired from consulting as his work ethics and desire to operate in a professional manner require 100% of his effort to be directed to the establishment and expansion of the game of Kegel in Australia.

Heinz and Dorothy established a prototype Kegel Barn in August 2003 based on their research in Europe and their belief that the Australian public would enjoy the challenge of Kegel bowling, the variety of games and the cost effective establishment and running of a Kegel Barn would prove to be a successful model.  They obtained the Australian distribution rights for Vollmer Kegel equipment in 2004 and began to seriously examine mechanisms for expanding the game.

The establishment of a prototype Kegel Barn has provided valuable data.  The identification of market segments, development of league bowling, limitations of scale, enthusiastic acceptance and enjoyment of the game by diverse demographics both locally and from all over Australia have enabled Heinz to develop a reproducible system that is being offered to interested parties that would like to establish a Kegel centre.

His business acumen, his consulting skills, and his unique Kegel knowledge mean Heinz is able to provide assistance in establishment, building and long term management for a Kegel Bowling venue.

Dorothy Gress

Dorothy is a Nurses Aid with supervisory experience.  She has a genuine interest in people, their welfare and long term goals.

Dorothy has recently resigned from nursing to take a greater role in the operation of Kegel Sport’s development and to ensure that the establishment and expansion of Kegel Centres in Australia is achieved with the right people.

Heinz and Dorothy established the prototype Kegel Barn in August 2003 based on their research in Europe and their belief that the Australian public would enjoy the challenge of Kegel bowling, the variety of games and the cost effective establishment and running of a Kegel Barn would prove to be a successful model.  They obtained the Australian distribution rights for Vollmer Kegel equipment in 2004 and began to seriously examine mechanisms for expanding the game.

The establishment of a Kegel Bowling Centre for Dorothy was all about sharing the enjoyment of the game and hearing people have fun.

Her interest in people and her unique Kegel knowledge mean Dorothy is able to provide assistance in establishment, building and long term management for a Kegel Barn venue.

Tony Rosser

Tony started his working career as a soldier in the British Army where he specialised in a number of skills including combat engineering and instructor of communications.

Tony trained as a computer programmer and systems analyst when he left the British army and has been a computer professional for over 20 years. 

After completing this training Tony started as a trainee computer operator and rose to IBM AS/400 technical support specialist before going it alone and working for himself as an IBM AS/400 technical support consultant. During this time he was as an integral member of various teams working on multi million pound migration and Y2K (millennium bug) projects for some of the UK’s financial institutions. Tony also used his systems analysis skills to design, test, document and implement a customer claims system for a food wholesaler in the UK. This also included using his instructor skills to train the users of the new system. When Tony worked for a major vehicle spare parts organisation in the UK his programming & systems analysis skills helped with a lot of systems automation.

In 2003 Tony moved into the world of PC’s and Servers. He has a wealth of experience in fixing/servicing computers of all types from basic home PC’s to high end servers, high specification games computers, home entertainment computers and laptops. Not limited to just computers Tony has also repaired printers, multi-function devices and wide format printers. Over the last few years Tony concentrated on the configuration, installation and support of servers and computer networks both wired and wireless. Tony has a large number of certifications to his name including Microsoft and Comptia A+.

Tony was a keen sportsman and played many sports including rugby league and union, boxing, cross country running, hockey, basketball, volleyball and cross country skiing to name a few, until knee injuries forced him to stop. He currently plays for a Kegel team and has achieved Australian Pairs Champion and Men’s runner up.

It was Tony’s love for Kegel 9 pin bowling that got him interested in helping promote the sport in Australia where he is using his skills to re-design the computer scoring system for Kegel Sport.
