NOTE: USBC had a little problem with membership cards getting out in a timely manner.  USBC is converting to a new type of membership card this season. They had hoped to have the transition to the new type of card (which includes a luggage tag) by the start of the season. The changeover to the new card has had some problems that have caused significant delays in getting these cards to the members. The vendor is working hard to make up the backlog of cards. We apologize for this delay and thank you for your patience. In the meantime, you can download a copy of the membership card directly from www.bowl.com (find-a-member link).

It is with great sorrow that long time board member LABA & USBC,
and our lane certification chairman,
DANIEL PHEARSON
has passed away 12/19/11.
Details to follow.

2010-11 Association High Averages:

SHARPSTEEN SETS NEW NLAC RECORD – 888 HIGH SERIES AT MISSION HILLS BOWL
Bowling on lanes 19-20 in the Tuesday night Men's Classic League at Mission Hills Bowl, ANTHONY SHARPSTEEN put together games of 289-299-300 for an incredible 888 series.  A packed 9-pin and two solid 7-pins kept Anthony from that elusive 900 series we all shoot for. This is a new high series mark for the North Los Angeles County USBC. Unfortunately his team lost all three games that night. From the management and staff at Mission Hill Bowl and the NLAC Association, we congratulate Anthony on his outstanding record performance.

Pickwick Bowl's L.A. Metro Telco League receives a special award 100 years of Support for Certified Bowling Competition.

Lane Inspectors Needed!
One of the most important tasks for any local USBC Association is the annual lane inspection/certifications.  We are currently looking to add new members to our inspection crew.  Do you have engineering, mechanical or technical background? Have you always wondered how the lanes are maintained from the foul like to the pits? Then YOU might just be the person we're looking for in a Certified Lane Inspector.  With 16 centers to certify within the NLAC, it is a tremendous task to schedule and certify all of the centers between April 1 & July 31 each year. Over the past few years, we've relied on a small, but dedicated crew. If you would like to learn more, please call or email the NLAC office.
