It was first labeled “Bowling News around Wisconsin” and late became known as “Bowling Action.” Each local association president and Association Manager receives a complimentary subscription as a service of the WS USBC WBA. Bowling Action is published four times per year. Subscriptions are available for $4.00 per year or $10.00 for three years.
