The Coronado/Mainland Shuffler

Rich and his outstanding court crew arrived early to set up the courts for October’s Fun Day.  The ace kitchen crew arrived to set up the tables, beautiful Halloween decorations, coffee, donuts and cookies as well as setting up for lunch when we finished the event.

Barb Fortini registered the participants and collected the entry free while Allen Best set up the captains and assigned the teams.  Joan Best collected for the 50/50.  We had nine (9) teams with a captain plus two or three players on each team.  We played all twenty courts and scored ten points for each disc properly placed.  When we finished playing, the courts were cleaned and disc’s waxed while the scores were being tallied.  After a great lunch of hot dogs, chips, drinks and deserts, the 50/50 ticket was drawn. Tom Carbonell won the pot.

Then Allen announced the top three teams.  First Place:  John Fortini’s team with 1500 points (Jane and Bob Tager and Randy) .  Second Place: Don Nephew’s team with 1150 points (Rose Sargent, Joyce DiPietro and Tom Carbonell) .  Third Place: Barb Fortini’s team  with 1100 points (Allen Best, Betty Buccini and a ghost player).  Everyone had a great time and all shared in the booty.  Hope to see you for November’s Fun Day!  Ciao!

Amateurs – First Place; Jerry Jabaut ( won all five of his matches), Second Place; Rose Sargent and Third Place; Barb Rush. Congratulations. A good time was had by all.

This Saturday, Oct 28th, is FUN DAY. Please Remember to sign up in the Cue House so we know how many Hot Dogs to cook. It is open to all members of the CMS Club. Come test your skills  and luck against the obstacles we place on all 20 courts. There is a $1.00 registration fee which includes a hot dog lunch.  Teams that place in the First, Second and Third positions will share in the winnings. It is great fun, so come on down at 9:45 am to be assigned to a team and enjoy the camaraderie!  After the games we will have hot dogs, chips and drinks in the club house.  See you there!

We play five games with twelve frames each game. We will pair as many amateurs with a pro as we can, depending on who shows up.  The top three amateurs and top three pros take home the winnings. Hope to see you there. Ciao!

After having the finals of our Northern District Tournament earlier in the day, it was a relief to relax and spend some quality time socializing over dinner. We had 25 members attend and bring a large variety of wonderful dishes to share. Bob Finta and Carol came with her wonderful homemade cookies. Allen Best was feeling better so he was able to join us for dinner. Allen welcomed new members and some of our returning Snow Birds. Joan Best collected the 50/50 and lead us in a prayer. Social Mahjong Members Patrick and Barb Clark won the 50/50 pot.  After dinner 16 members stayed to play Bunco. See you at November’s Pot Luck.  Ciao!

Thursday, Oct 19, was the first day of the Northern District Any Doubles Tournament at the CMS Shuffleboard Courts. Candy and Richard Kordeleski arrived early to start preparing the facilities for the tournament. Candy made the coffee and arranged the kitchen. Rich blew the leaves away and prepped all eleven courts we needed for the day. Tom Rimmer came early to help as well. Johnnie Conner and Betty Buccini had decorated the hall with lovely Fall colors and beautiful center pieces on the tables.  Barb Nephew and Betty Buccini took care of the entry fees, Joan Best collected the 50/50 and the tournament directors Rich and Caroline Burrell signed the players up and assigned them their courts. Allen Best was home sick so our VP Johnnie Conner took over to welcome the participating players. During the day our volunteers stepped in to help the players by waxing discs and beading courts. Thanks to all  our volunteers, Don Nephew, Diane Hamas, Gerry Bousquet, Lorretta Cantalupo, Bob Stock and Barb Fortini.

We had 22 Teams participating in the tournament. We thank our tournament sponsors Climatron, Inc from Daytona Beach and the Coronado/Mainland Shuffleboard Club.

This drizzly morning our crew arrived to gather up and remove wet accumulated and scattered leaves as best we could before tomorrow’s ND Tournament.

Mary McConnell cleaned the chalk boards. Cindy, Candy and Mary set up the tables and chairs in the Club House while Zak, Bonnie, Randy and Rich pushed a lot of leaves and water around the courts and benches. Al and Joan Best arrived to finish up tweaking the clubhouse before Johnnie Conner and Betty Buccini come by later on to decorate.

We give a big THANK YOU to those members who helped out during this morning’s inclement weather. Ciao!

We still need volunteers to sign up to help for the Northern District Tournament being held at our CMS courts this Thursday 10/19 and Friday 10/20.   We need people to wax discs, clean and bead courts and help support participants in general. Please sign up in the cue house. Thanks for your help.

I have had requests for the Tournament Results from the Northern District to be published on our site. They sometimes are slow to publish them, but I will up date this page as I have them. Congratulations to all those members from the Coronado/Main Shuffleboard Club who are participating in these tournaments. It can be a grueling schedule.
