March 2026: Join KLBC and see the world! Well, not necessarily. But it doesn't hurt your chances. Two groups of KLBC members were both in Europe for bowling reasons this month. A contingent of five KLBC members was at the World Short Mat Championships in Skien, Norway, while another two were en route to represent Switzerland at the Five Nations Test Match Series in Paphos, Cyprus. Sadly, that event was cancelled at the last minute due to the Middle East hostilities...but they still had a great Greek holiday in Athens and the island of Crete. Pictured in Norway are Phil Pownall, Jim Baggs, Judy Steinke, Carol-Anne Bell, and Scott Bell. Pictured at the Parthenon (Acropolis) in very sunny Athens are Louise St. John and Pierre Vanderhout.
