Essex Angles, the first issue of our new E-Newsletter has now been published, see the News page to read it.

Another junior, 16 year old Ryan Richardson, has bowled a 300 game during the Supreme Doubles league at Rollerbowl, congratulations. See the news page about this and other high scores bowled the same evening. The Night Owls league at Rollerbowl is looking for bowlers/teams for their new season starting soon, again see details on the news page.


Following the sad news about Keith Howes passing, it is planned to hold a memorial tournament in his honour at Basildon Town Centre Bowl. They are waiting for a new system from abroad which will enable all 20 lanes to be used, as soon as I have further details they will be posted on this website.

The basic philosophy of The National Organisation, The B.T.B.A. , is to promote and regulate Tenpin Bowling and has local associations in most counties to undertake this on their behalf. All questions regarding bowling within Essex should be made initially to E.C.T.A. at the e-mail address at the bottom of this page, and not directly to the B.T.B.A.
 Essex County Tenpin Association, E.C.T.A., is the organisation representing all tenpin bowlers in our County. We provide help and advice with setting up and running leagues and tournaments and advice on issues relating to BTBA rules and membership.  It has previously been difficult to pass information onto bowlers due to the large number of centres within our region, so we have decided to create this website to interact with more of our members. This, hopefully, will be a two way process with us letting you know of upcoming events or news items and for you, the bowlers, to let us know what you would like to see on this site and giving us news information that we can include on it. It will also give you a chance to ask questions of the committee, but please remember we are all volunteers and have other occupations and may not answer your questions straight away, but will attempt to do so as soon as possible. 

Our Committee is made up of bowlers who have been elected to serve the County and the National Organisation. Currently there are 12 committee members, which includes 5 Executive Committee members. We have sub-committees representing Junior Bowling, Young Adults (18-24 years), Adults and Seniors. We also have a Legal Executive who deals with any questions regarding BTBA rules. A list of these representatives can be found alongside, and a list of bowling centres in our County.

 If you would like to become a part of our team please contact our Secretary we are always looking at expanding our committee, especially at centres which currently do not have a representative.
