The UK Tenpin Hall of Fame has announced its Class of 2026, recognizing three individuals for their long-standing contributions to the sport.
The new inductees include Alan Keddie, Keira Reay, and Dave Steiner.
Alan Keddie has been selected in the men’s category after many years of success in international and domestic competition. He becomes the first Scottish bowler to be inducted into the UK Tenpin Hall of Fame. His career includes medal performances at European Senior Championships and the Senior World Championships, along with wins across several other European events.
Keira Reay has been chosen in the women’s category and is the youngest inductee so far. She is being honored mainly for her youth career, which included multiple medals at European Youth Championships and strong results at world-level youth events. Her performances during her teenage years placed her among the most successful youth bowlers produced in the UK.
Dave Steiner will be inducted in the Distinguished Service category. His recognition reflects decades of work supporting bowling away from competition. His involvement spans military bowling, coaching, event organization, league development, and governance roles within British tenpin bowling. He has also served in leadership positions and contributed to the growth of structured competition across the country.
The selection process for the Hall of Fame Class of 2026 was carried out by the Hall of Fame committee, which reviewed nominations and career records before voting.
The UK Tenpin Hall of Fame honors individuals whose achievements and service have helped shape the sport since its early years in the country.
The 2026 inductees will officially join the UK Tenpin Hall of Fame during next year’s induction ceremony.
