Allen Best asked me to put this notice on the web. This year the Coronado/Mainland Shuffleboard Club will need Two (2) New Executive Board Members in 2018. He would like Anyone Who Is Interested in helping to run our club, please let Allen or Joan Best know at 302-841-0251. Or you could also let Arlene Jabaut know of your interest at 518-791-8020.  Every Two Years it is necessary for the club to have new volunteers join the Executive Board. This year Arden McConnell and Don Nephew are up for replacement.   It is up to the members to make this club run smoothly.  Thanks for your interest in our club.  Please let them know before the next Executive Board Meeting on Feb 25th.  Since the 80th Anniversary celebration is scheduled for March 4, which would be the date of the next meeting, Mr. Best said that the March meeting would be moved to February 25th .

February’s Fun Day began, as usual, with Marguerite and her kitchen crew doing a fantastic job of setting up the coffee, drinks, donuts, hot dogs, and chips while Paul’s crew set up the tables while Johnnie decorated the hall.  Rich and his crew set up all the obstacles on twenty courts. Joan collected the 50/50 and Barb Fortini collected the $1 registration fee while registering all the shufflers.  Allen Best called the group to order and gave an updated report on Bill, Penny Boyes and Wayne Lockwood followed by a silent prayer.  Allen announced the team captains and handed out the chips used to select the Fun Day teams.  Forty-Five (45) enthusiastic club shufflers joined in the fun to overcome the amusing obstacles in-order to score as many points as possible. Then the games began.

When all the teams had completed the 20 courts of obstacles, we all convened to the club house for more socializing while Barb Fortini totaled the score sheets (one bizarre) and verified their accuracy.  Barb Fortini drew the 50/50 ticket that our new member John Peed won.  Then Allen began to announce the winners and hand out the prize money.

The Top Winning Team was Joan Best, Rex, Jane and Guy with a high score of 1300.  The Second Team was Barb Fortini, Bonnie, Jim and Floyd with a score of 1160.  The Third Team was Candy, Loretta, Harry (did not stay for picture) and Bob Tager with a score of 1100.

Rex Galusha had the Highest Individual Score of 380, followed by a three-way tie, with a score of 350, between Guy Godman, Mary McConnell and Bonnie Radke. All in all, it was a fun day with many of our very new members enjoying the challenge.  Once again we must thank Our Volunteers for without them, we would not be able to have this much fun!   Please come back and join us for next month’s FUN DAY.

Just a reminder that Fun Day is this Saturday at 12:00 noon. We start with hot dogs, chips and drinks. Then we choose the teams and play on all twenty (20) courts. If you have not joined us before, this is a day full of fun and enjoyment open to all members from beginners to pros. It is for fun and camaraderie with some obstacles and challenges of skill. Please come on out and join us, I am sure you will enjoy. I have found that it helps my regular play. See you there.

Here are examples of the court challenges.

The weather was splendid for the The Mayor’s Tournament. Marguerite, Connie, Candy and Johnnie decorated the club house with Valentines Day decorations. The coffee and donuts were supplied by the city.  Rich, John, Tom, Arden and other members set up the courts. Johnnie collected for the 50/50.

Dennis Buelk organized and collected the tournament’s entry fees. Eleven (11) Pros and Thirty-One (31) Amateur shufflers signed up to play. The Mayor, Jim Hathaway accompanied by Kimla Shelton and Nancy Maddox from Parks and Leisure arrived about 8:30am for a Meet and Greet with coffee and donuts. Allen Best presented the Mayor with a Shadow Box containing one of our 80th Anniversary Celebration Shirts. Allen also showed a picture of  Bill and Penny Boyes and explained for those who knew them that they had gone home for the birth of their grandchild when Penny’s health took a turn for the worse.  Penny and Bill are in our thoughts and prayers.  We said a silent prayer for those members in distress. We then Pledged our Allegiance to our Flag.

Everyone then proceeded to the courts where the Mayor and Nancy had a short match for points…..Nancy won with a score of 15 to the Mayor’s 7.  Then Dennis explained the scoring and rules for match play.  We played five matches with twelve frames each. Winning shufflers wrote down their scores after each match. Dennis added up the winner’s scores to determine those that placed for payout winnings.

When all the matches were done, we reconvened at the club house for subs, chips, coffee and soda (supplied by the CM Shuffleboard Club). The Club also donated $50 toward the prize money. Dennis then announced the winners.

PROS:  FIRST PLACE: Pete Peterson;  Second Place: Charlie Jones; Third Place:  Edna Triplett. The PRO Booby Prize (last place) went to Mouse Wolven.

AMATEURS:  FIRST PLACE: Arlene Jabaut;  Second Place:  Tom Grubb;  Third Place: Randy Radke. The Amateur Booby Prize (last place) went to Susan McLain.

Following the announcement of the winners, the 50/50 number was drawn and Susan McLain won the pot.  We would like to give a shout out to all the volunteers who made this day possible.  Thanks to the members who came to cheer us on.  Dennis Buelk did a fantastic job organizing and running this tournament.  Thanks so much and congratulations to the winners and all the participants. Ciao!
