The CMS Shuffleboard Club in New Smyrna Beach was the host for the Northern District Any Doubles Tournament on Thursday and Friday, October 20/21. Twenty-nine (29) avid teams showed up to meet the challenge and place for cash prizes and bragging rights. Rich Kordeleski and John Fortini put canvases up to cover hurricane induced missing roofs on the courts. Candy Kordeleski, Barb Fortini and Arlene Jabaut came early to set up the coffee and donuts. Joan Best took care of the 50/50 distribution.
Club President Allen Best, with the help of volunteers (Rich, Arlene, Don Nephew, Cindy and Zak Wonson, Tim Pergrem, Gerry Bousquet, Debbie Evans and Charlie Jones with his blower), swept, cleaned and preped the courts for the competitive matches. Barb Nephew, Connie Bousquet and Betty Buccini manned the table for filing Tournament registrations and entry fees. Thanks go out to Richie and Carolyn Burrell, the Northern District Directors, were in charge of administering this enjoyable and well organized Tournament.
We began the day with some announcements from Allen Best and Pat King (President of the Northern District). Pat King picked the 50/50 ticket and Mouse Wolven won the pot. We had a Prayer from John Holder followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Recognition was given to those recent members and acquaintances who have passed. A big hand goes out to all the volunteers and participants who made this Tournament possible and a success.

The next time you go into the CUE/Club House, you will notice that there has been a great deal of work done. Tim Pergrem (have paintbrush will travel) has done an outstanding first rate job in painting the Cue House floors and some of their walls.
NOTE: The new room for Cues is now available for cue storage (only on it’s left hand side). A sign up numbered sheet is available on a first come basis for Club members interested in securing a storage space for their Cues.
Allen Best has also painted the Club House bulletin board wall and continues to help frame related shuffleboard event pictures. A whole wall, with Debbie Evan’s help, has been created for some of our shuffleboard club’s history.
The walls between the windows will be honoring the CMS Club’s State Hall Of Fame Members: Dorine Bessette (2013), Edna Triplett (2009) and Stan Williamson (2008). I have attached their profiles for your perusal. You will also notice that Joan Best has put together a group of club library books that you are free to borrow and/or add to. “We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude. Those who can, do. Those who can do more, volunteer.” A great big THANK YOU to all the volunteers for their hard work on behalf of the club.
Wednesday, November 2nd starts the first game of the Inner City Tournaments. The CMS Club plays against Deland, Orange City and Ormond Beach Shuffleboard Clubs.

Between 8:00 am and 9:30 am nineteen (19) eager volunteers showed up this Monday to sweep, wash, wax, and clean up the shuffleboard courts. We finished up at approximately 11am. Our volunteers totally cleaned and washed the cue house so that Tim Pergrem could paint the floor after he finishes painting the cue room. The scoreboards were all washed along with the sponges/erasers. All the discs had already been painted. Allen and Debbie worked on the Historical Bulletin Board in the club house.

Please note that your MEMBERSHIP DUES were owed as of October FIRST. If you are participating in any of the Northern District or Inner City tournaments, they must be paid before you play. We have the Northern District Tournament at the CM Shuffleboard Courts next week (Thursday and Friday), and I know many of you enjoy competing in that tournament because you do not have to travel. We also need volunteers who will help clean courts, wax discs and make sure our guests are taken care of. Remember this is your club and it does not run by itself, it relies on all of our club members volunteering to help. Please sign up in the Cue House. Thank you.
Also, because of the tournament next week the monthly Pot Luck Dinner will be held this Friday, October 14th. Please sign up in the Cue House. Thanks
Due to Hurricane Matthew, not many people could show up today for the CM shuffleboard courts’ Clean Up Day. PLEASE NOTE: IT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR NEXT MONDAY OCTOBER 17 AT 9:00 AM.
We need volunteers to help prepare the courts before the upcoming scheduled CMS Club’s 9/20-9/21 Northern District Tournament. Not all the jobs are physical…any and all volunteers are welcomed. We need people to wash score boards, clean seats, etc. Some of us will be washing and waxing all the courts. We should finish by noon on Monday. Bonnie has already cleaned and painted all the discs for courts 1 thru 16. Monday, after we have finished washing and waxing, Tim Pergrem will be painting the floor to the Cue House. PLEASE NOTE: THE CUE HOUSE WILL BE CLOSED FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON THRU TUESDAY MORNING, OCT 18. Tuesday nite is still set for night play matches.
Damage to our courts was evident today. We lost part of our courts’ metal roofs and a partial gutter. We also had clogged up court drains from all of the loose debris from leaves and palm fronds. Zak, Joey, Dennis, Allen, Darrel, Randy and Bonnie helped with some of the clean-up. The damage could have been much worse. We are very lucky with this minimal destruction when you consider Matthew’s Category 4 potential fury.
