A lot of fun loving players showed up this Saturday in anticipation of participating in the Fun Day Challenge. Hot dogs, chips, coffee, lemonade and a great selection of deserts was made available for those interested participants. Also a 50/50 drawing was offered. After noticing some passersby with umbrellas, we were alerted that it had started to rain. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, the Fun Day was called off by Allen Best due to a Rain Out. A shoutout of appreciation with thanks goes to those club volunteers who came out early to prepare the hospitality club room and prepare the courts with Fun Day props.
Just a reminder that FUN DAY is this Saturday, March 19th. If you have not participated, please come on down and meet the challenge. I have actually found that it makes my regular shuffleboard play better. Sign up in the club house so we know how many hot dogs to have. 12:00 noon for hot dogs and the games begin at 1:00 PM. See you there!
Today’s weather was perfect for the CMS Club Clean-Up Day that started approximately at 9am. Twenty-one (21) CMS volunteers got busy on the courts to have the leaves blown off, scrubbed, washed and squeegeed before the wind blew it dry. Then the wax was rolled on all twenty courts. Meanwhile, the bleachers were relocated, benches were washed, chalkboards were scrubbed and the sponges cleaned. The clubhouse floors were swept and some volunteers even re-painted and re-numbered the disks (vivid festive colors). We had a break for coffee and donuts before finishing up at 11:30am.
Without volunteers, there would not be a well functioning club. Thanks to all the following volunteers who came out to help maintain our courts and club facilities.
Allen and Joan Best, Rich and Candy Kordeleski, Arden and Mary McConnell, Randy and Bonnie Radke, Marguerite and Paul Fortier, Denny and Angie Wyss, Bill Boyes, John Tardif, Dennis Buelk, Jerry Jabaut, Roland Gilles, Dave Helverson, Darrel Harman, John Fortini and Bob Stock.
A lot of us will be back at 6:30 tonight to break-in the newly waxed courts.
This is a reminder that Tuesday March 15th at 9:00 AM We will be cleaning, washing and scrubbing the courts and then applying a coat of wax. We need volunteers to come help out. Men and Women are both welcome. If you do not want to scrub the courts we can use help cleaning the score boards and sweeping up the club house. Time to prepare for all the Upcoming Events. Check out all of the pictures and fun we had at previos work days on our photos link. It is greatly appreciated when those members who want to play, also volunteer to come down and help maintain the courts as well.
Please remember to sign up for FUN DAY. The list is in the club house. It is scheduled for March 19th at 12:00 noon and is great fun for all shuffleboard skill levels.
Tickets are on sale for our catered Annual End Of Season Banquet on March 26th.
Thursday, March 10th, was a beautiful first day start to the TOC tournament in Hawthorne. Hawthorne’s courts and facilities were very well maintained and ready to go. Sixty-eight (68) competitive players showed up for the Tournament of Champions challenge. All the players had to have placed during the Northern District’s seasonal sanctioned tournaments in order to participate in the TOC. Jack Wooten, one of the TOC Officials, was temporarily in the hospital, so Donna King, even though shorthanded, took on the challenge of presiding over four tournaments (Pro Men, Pro Women, Amateur Men and Amateur Women) . With the help of her husband Pat, they did an outstanding job.

Monday morning started out seasonably cool and sunny as approximately 68 enthusiastic competitors came together at Deland’s shuffleboard courts, adjacent to the Wayne G. Sunburn Activity Center, for the season ending Inter City Shuffleboard Tournament. The shufflers were divided into Team A and Team B based on their season’s win/loss averages. We played three games in the morning (after donuts and coffee) before we took a lunch break for a scrumptious buffet lunch of pulled pork, potato salad, Cole slaw, chips and soft drinks. We also ate colorful cupcakes to celebrate Honey Donnelly’s birthday before we went out to play two more games. After the tournament competition ended, the wins/scores were tallied before the finalists were announced.
Team A Finalists: 1st Place with five wins, Christine and John Giumara; 2nd Place with four wins, Walt Bartles and Milt Wordelman; 3rd Place with four wins, Pete Peterson and Charlie Jones and 4th Place with four wins, Walt Vilk and Ron Raymond. Contestants with the same number of wins are ranked by their winning score totals.
Team B Finalists: 1st Place with four wins, Bonnie and Randy Radke: 2nd Place with four wins, Barb and Chuck Ault; 3rd Place with four wins, Dave and Jean Helverson; and 4th Place with three wins, Scottie Scott and Karen Heath. Congratulations to all the players, teams and clubs who participated to make this another memorable and successful season. A very special thanks and appreciation go out to the Deland Shuffleboard Club members for being terrific hosts organizing and implementing this outstanding Inter City Tournament/buffet.
There is a standing Inter City Tournament Trophy for the A Team and another trophy for the B Team. The first place winners from each team will have their names engraved on their respective trophies. The First Place winner’s club will keep the trophy on their premises for the year. The CMS Club representation did very well!
