The British Tenpin Bowling Association (BTBA) 1971 Inter County Championships were commemorated with a philatelic first day cover, specifically marking the tournament held in Coventry.
This was a significant year for the BTBA, which also held its 10th National Championships in Worthing in 1971.
1971 was also the year of the UK Postal Strike, meaning some covers from this period featured “Postage Delayed” or private carrier markings.
