A message from our President

Picture
Happy New Year to all and welcome to our New Web-Site. Special thanks to Dick Sayer and his committee for the great job and fresh view of bowling in the Northeast.

The Northeast Division is committed to improving the visibility of our great sport in the Northeast during 2012 and beyond. We have initiatives under discussion and development to bring bowling to the Northeast year round by moving indoor during the colder months.

The Short Mat game of Bowls is another form of the game that can be played indoors during the winter. All that would be needed is a place to play, purchase of an indoor carpet and willing participants. The Northeast division is hoping to partner up with clubs that may be interested in such a proposal.

If you have any ideas how we can help your club ( even if you are not a member of USLBA ) please contact us and let us help. The USLBA is not just about tournaments it is about ensuring the survival of the sport we all love. Over the last year we have lost clubs in Milton and Slater Park. Will your club be next? Let us help.

Our 2012 schedule is now completed, after a little shuffling of events due to the earlier date scheduled for the US Open in California, now starting on September 8, 2012.

In May we will honor a former president of the Northeast Division with
The Ron Buck Singles tournament at Dupont on May 19-20. This will be a chance to remember a good friend and competitor with pictures and stories and enjoying the competition Ron loved so much. Please come and help us celebrate the bowling life of a good man.

The NE Open this year will be split between NY and NJ in mid-late August. Check the schedule for details.

At the national level of USLBA there are talks to try and re-work the membership levels so we can include everyone who bowls. The USLBA needs the support of ALL bowlers around the USA but the process of change is very slow.

The Memorial foundation also needs volunteers to help distribute the funds available wisely to support Lawn Bowling and bowlers needs. Each Division has representatives on the Foundation and the Northeast needs to find someone who can best represent our Division. If you are interested please contact me for more information. You can also donate to the foundation and more information is available on the USLBA.ORG website.

We look forward to the warmer weather with anticipation. A chance to play the game and then spend time (over a beer maybe) with good friends.

See you on the green



Colin Smith

President NE Div USLBA
