BEVERLY HILLS’ ANNE BARBER
ELECTED TO USLBA HALL OF FAME


The USLBA has elected Southern California champion Anne Barber to the National Lawn Bowling Hall of Fame.

The Beverly Hills LBC stalwart represented the United States at the quadrennial 1992 Women’s World Bowls Championships in Scotland and 1996 World Championships in England. She was a member of Team USA at the biannual Atlantic Rim Games in 1993, 1995 and 1997, and the Asia-Pacific Championships in 1995 and 1997.
Arguably the top American women’s bowler from 1986 to 1996, Anne won National Open Singles titles twice, Open Pairs championships three times, and one Open Triples crown. She also won the U.S. Championships Pairs in 1992 and Singles in 1995.
Barber’s Southwest Division victories include U.S. Pairs Playdowns in 1992, 1993, 1996, 1998, 2000, and U.S. Singles Playdowns in 1995 and 1999. She also won ten Southwest Open titles between 1991 and 1998: Singles, Pairs and Four three times each, and one Triples.
Anne and her late husband, Juda, emigrated from Johannesburg, South Africa in 1986, where she had already achieved marquee status as a “Sprinkbok”¬–national team member. A winner of numerous SA national and major regional bowls titles between 1960 and 1985, she represented South African bowlers at the 1969 and 1981 Maccabiah Games.
