A retro newspaper clipping features an article titled "Lulu in the Fashion" by Hugh Thompson. It shows a woman in a dress and boots, mid-action bowling with a focused expression. The text vividly describes the author's experience at Brunswick’s Hampden Bowl in Glasgow.

This 32-lane tenpin bowling centre was opened by the Brunswick Corporation on 27th June 1963. It is believed, the centre closed on 15th May 1970. Very popular with the people of Glasgow the singer Lulu was a visitor and the centre held the first ever Old Firm bowling match between Celtic and Rangers. A future Great Britain international Tommy Marshall also on hand in the centre coaching juniors.
