Tribute to Isabella "Izzie" Forbes
We recently lost one our legendary bowlers, Isabella (aka "Izzie") Forbes on Sat, June 13, 2015. We are deeply saddened by the loss as she was an integral part of ECLBC, becoming the first woman President in 1979. She was not only a pioneer in our sport but her love of the game showed in her continued promotion of the game. She will be truly missed.
