General Meeting of the BTBA saw this conflict rise to a head and most of the governing council resigned, leaving Glazer to regroup and bring back all decisions to the BTBA head office. It took several years to achieve a rapprochement with the proprietors.

A large percentage of bowling leagues did not return to the centres after the COVID pandemic. Members Current members include the Hollywood Bowl, and Tenpin (formerly Megabowl) chains.
