The Ladies game is administered by the English Women's Indoor Bowling Association (EWIBA). We have regular liaison meetings with both the EWIBA and the two outdoor Governing Bodies (EBA and EWBA) The EIBA has existed since 1933 when we were formed as a section of the English Bowling Association (EBA).
