Most of the men bowlers in the Danville area, have probably noticed the USBC
cards went up to $19 a year. The USBC seemed to be taking some of our benefits
away, while still raking in the money.
They took away the patches, and substituted them with magnets, that
looked like the former patches. Then they switched to key chains. The $2
increase now allows the local association to buy our own awards and make sure
our bowlers are recognized for their achievements. Many of them will once again be in patch
form. Some past awards will return, like
the Dutch 200, the All Spare Game, and the Triplicate patch. Some of the more prestigious awards, such as
a 300 ring, will now be issued once in the bowler’s lifetime.
If you would like

be in by the 25th of this month.
