Synopsis	Zoo Lake, Johannesburg, provided the setting for the Third World Bowls Championships from 18 February to 6 March, 1976. Sixteen countries competed in singles, pairs, triples and fours, with the Leonard Trophy being awarded to the country gaining the most points in the four competitions - two points being awarded for a win and one for a tie in all matches except singles where the winner received one point. The event proved to be an outstanding success for the home nation with their bowlers making a clean sweep of all four events, their team thereby taking the Leonard Trophy with maximum points. This lavishly produced and well-illustrated commemorative book was published in advance of the championships and, apart from providing a detailed daily programme of events, has a considerable amount of fascinating reading including: Messages from the Prime Minister (Mr B J Vorster) and the Minister of Sport and Recreation (Dr P G J Koornhof) Photographs and descriptions of the trophies and medals Messages, with photographs, from leading international officials Photographs and personal backgrounds of officials of the local organising committees Photographs and personal backgrounds of the team managers and players of the participating teams Pictures of the identifying colours and flags of each team Conditions of play and the laws of the game
