The Coronado/Mainland Shuffler

Today’s Thursday Morning Four-Play matches, overseen by Ron Raymond, attracted Nineteen (19) committed shufflers who showed up for a friendly shuffling competition on a pleasant and sunny September morning. This week we had only ONE Four Match Winner; Guy Godman. Well done! We welcome any and all shufflers to participate in next week’s match play. It is one of three Thursdays left before the end of the month when these Thursday Morning Four-Play matches will sadly come to an end until next year. Hasta luego!

Another CMS Club evening of Singles Mingles matches was tallied up by Dennis Buelk. Four (4) Pro/State Ams and Five (5) Amateurs showed up to compete in order to earn some of the entry fee payout upon placing. We played five 12 frame matches and drew new partners after each match. Each amateur was paired with a Pro or State Amateur when possible. There were two winners from the Pro/State Ams…..First Place: Joe Shebester and Second Place: Dennis Buelk. The two winners from the Amateurs…..First Place: BonnieRadke and Second Place: Randy Radke. Just Terrific! Once again, thanks to all of you who participated and continue to support this event. These matches take place every Wednesday starting at 5:45 pm. We would welcome more club members to come on out. If you can make it, we would like to see you on the Single Mingles night shift!

Just a quick reminder that tonight is Singles Mingles Night. Open to all members who want a little competition. We were rained out last week so we are looking forward to tonight.  The participation fee is only $2.00, which is all returned to the top three finishers among PROs and Amateurs. The Single Mingles matches are a good deal of fun.  We meet at 5:45 pm. We play five games of twelve frames each and all matches should be finished by around 9 pm. It is not necessary to be single to participate. Looking forward to seeing you this coming Wednesday.  Hope to see you all there.

This is a reminder about our Pot Luck Dinner for, Friday evening, September 16th. Don’t forget to sign up in the Cue House so we have a count of how many will attend. Please come at 5:00 pm for social time while we set up. Dinner at 5:30 pm. This is a BYO. bring your own plates, cups and silverware and if you want anything stronger than tea and lemonade, that too is BYO. Hope to see y’all there for loads of good food (everyone brings something to share) and camaraderie. For more socializing and a challenge, Bunco will be played following the dinner. Ciao!

Allen wanted me to report the shirt examples for your comments. We have to order them soon. They will be white tee shirts with the large picture on the back and the small picture on the front left on the shirt (pocket area).  We need your comments on what we want by the 15th.  Thanks for your input.

We have been working on designs for the Anniversary Celebration shirt and we thought you might like to comment. The large design would be for the back and the small design would go where a pocket would go. These will be on white tee shirts. Please leave your comments.  Bottom two pictures.

So Sigrid suggested that I fix the small one for the pocket.  I cleaned it up some more. How does this look?

This morning, despite the potential hurricane fringe effect, we still had Twelve (12) devoted shufflers show up for our Thursday Morning Four-Play matches. Ron Raymond oversaw the court prep to squeegee, dry and bead the courts for the morning matches. Only Bob Tager won all Four of his matches. Bien hecho! We welcome any and all shufflers to participate in next week’s match play. Hasta luego!
