A Brief Look Back


Before there was a newsletter, there was a magazine.
You can read and enjoy the entire collection of Bowls Magazine thanks to the tireless efforts of Jim Semanek (SW) who painstakingly created this digital archive.

Beginning in 1962, a periodical for the U.S. bowls community and initially titled ALBA Bowls until 2001 when reorganization created the U.S. Lawn Bowls Association and the name then changed to USLBA Bowls. In the spring  2002 edition it became Bowls USA..
Publication of the magazine ceased after the Autumn 2009 edition but later resumed as the Bowls USA Newsletter in March of 2014. See Above!
