Synopsis The work behind the scenes towards the unification of the English Indoor Bowling Association (EIBA) and the English Women's Indoor Bowling Association (EWIBA) is reflected in this publication. One cover (as shown above) displays the EIBA title and badge, and the other cover (shown here) the EWIBA title and badge. Additionally, as the table above shows, each Association contributed 128 pages with a further 80 pages shared as a 'Joint Section'.

The contributions from each Association follow a broadly similar pattern with, for example: a message from the President; list of past Presidents and officials; current officers; reports from senior officials; photographs of winners of major competitions in 2006/07; records of winners and runners-up of major championships; draws for the major trophies; area secretaries/representatives; etc. Most of the 'Joint Section' comprises the directory of affiliated clubs, and also includes a list of bowls manufacturers and testers, the rules of the National Championship and information on the English Bowls Coaching Scheme and the English Bowls Youth Development Scheme. Interestingly, unlike the previous Year Book, the laws of indoor bowls are not included in this version, but click here for relevant information.

The EIBA Year Book is published in August of the first year to which it relates and packs a great deal of information between its covers. Overall it represents outstanding value at £2.50.
