Strikes, Laughs and a Side of History: PBS Hits the Lanes on VE Day!

What do you get when you mix accountants, bowling shoes, and Victory in Europe Day? One unforgettable night out!

This VE Day, the PBS team swapped spreadsheets for strikes and calculators for cocktails as we headed to the bowling alley for a much-needed night of team bonding. While the rest of the country was reflecting on a historic day of unity and resilience, we thought we’d do our bit by strengthening our own little army of number-crunchers – with plenty of laughs along the way.

The competition was fierce, but a few unlikely bowling pros emerged from the shadows. We won't name names, but let’s just say some of our quieter team members have been hiding some serious pin-smashing skills. Who knew balance sheets and bowling balls had so much in common?

The winning team!

There were high-fives, questionable bowling stances, and one or two wild throws that probably breached health and safety (oops!). All in all, it was the perfect reminder that behind every great business are real people who know how to let their hair down.

At PBS, we take our work seriously – but not ourselves. A connected, happy team delivers better results, and nights like this are a big part of what makes our culture so strong.

Here’s to many more strikes, laughs and shared wins – on and off the lanes.
