WELCOME TO THE NORTHEAST DIVISION OF BOWLS USA

Stretched from New England to Southern Virginia and out to Western Pennsylvania the Northeast Division is the birthplace of lawn bowls in the United States of America.

In the early 1900's the American Lawn Bowls Association was formed in Buffalo, NY and continues today as BOWLS USA with clubs spanning from coast to coast.

Our division is a very active one with tournaments nearly every other week during the summer as well as an annual week-long open tournament with potential visitors from all over the globe.

The Northeast Division supports a strong local club base and encourages clubs to join and spread their wings to other clubs and more competition. We support clubs who foster  strong camaraderie, league play and social events throughout the year and who seek to promote and grow the sport for future generations to enjoy.

The Northeast division has a long tradition of excellence with several national champions and even a world champion in its past and current membership. All the clubs welcome guests who want to try out this sport and joining is easy. 

Contact us today and we'll get you started in a game that you can play and enjoy for a lifetime. It is a great family game with husbands and wives playing at the same time with their children. It is not unheard of to have three generations all playing on the same green. We all have witnessed 12 year olds competing against 80 year olds, grandfathers against grand-daughter and brothers teaming up for 2 and 3 decades. It is truly a sport one can play and compete at a high level for many many years. The most common phrase we hear from new members who came to the game in retirement is, "I wish I knew about this game before!"

Come give it a try!

President's Message

Picture
I was recently elected to be President of the Northeast Division back in the beginning of Aug 2016. I know this is a very big responsibility and I look forward to continuing the great work that my predecessor, Patrick Duffy has already accomplished. 

During my two years of Presidency, I plan to create some short and long term goals that I know we can achieve to increase both membership and awareness of this great, yet underrated sport.  With the help and support of my Executive Committee & Board as well as input and support from other clubs within the Division, I know we can reach these goals and be successful!

By the end of the year, I intend to share and communicate my goals and priorities with you and continue the momentum that has already been created. In the meantime, if you have any thoughts or ideas that you would like to share with us, please feel free to email us at nedbowls@gmail.com.


Veronica Sum
​NED President

Tribute to Isabella "Izzie" Forbes

PictureIsabella Forbes (center)

We recently lost one our legendary bowlers, Isabella (aka "Izzie") Forbes on Sat, June 13, 2015. We are deeply saddened by the loss as she was an integral part of ECLBC, becoming the first woman President in 1979. She was not only a pioneer in our sport but her love of the game showed in her continued promotion of the game. She will be truly missed.

We belong and so do you!

In keeping with the new direction of our national body changing the name from  the United States Lawn Bowls Association to BowlsUSA and developing a new brand and logo, we have changed our logo to reflect this new direction. We will be working on new strategies for growth as the feedback from clubs are being reviewed by our new Strategic planning committee.

New name and new outlook on the horizon!

Institution of new fliers and business cards for use at some clubs in 2014...

We developed a new promotional flier and business card that will hopefully help spread a positive awareness of our sport around the communities that have bowling greens. This is our first new step towards working with clubs to build membership.

The fliers are tri-fold and are meant to be used in combination with the business card with each club's contact. Currently, Frick Park, Essex and Fernliegh LBCs have been issued cards and we will work to get more clubs involved.
