We have scheduled a Pot Luck Dinner for Friday, July 22, at 5:30 pm. The sign up sheet is in the club house. Should be fun and lots of good food. If there are not enough people signed up to play Bunco, we may play a few games of shuffleboard. Hope to see you there.
Dennis Buelk, SM Director, would like to start a CMS Club members only summertime Singles Mingles program. The plan is to start Wednesday evening, July 13, at 6:00 pm. 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. Dennis will tell us about the match rules when we meet at 5:45 pm. 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.
Put on your creative thinking caps and help us make the CMS Club’s 80th Anniversary one to remember when we celebrate it in 2017. We should not let our 80th Anniversary go by without a good celebration in appreciation of the CMS Club’s sustained record of success and it’s history. We will have an opportunity to publicize our success and share our story with newcomers, prospective new members and the public at large.
We will need to choose a date that does not compete with other events going on such as a weekend on behalf of the public’s convenience. Some ideas might be:
Any ideas you may have to celebrate our 80th Anniversary in 2017 should be sent to our website email address….cmshuffleboard@gmail.com and/or given directly to Allen Best, President of the CMS club.
For anyone who played shuffleboard Friday morning, July 1, please check your cues and make sure you have your own. Some one mistakenly took the wrong cue home. Your cue is in the cue house against the chalk board. Zak said there is bright colored tape on the handle. Thanks for your attention to this matter. Have a Happy and Safe Fourth of July!
Today’s Thursday morning Four-Play matches attracted thirty-five (35) steadfast shufflers who showed up for the challenge. Today we recognize and congratulate Tom Rimmer, Jerry Jabaut and Randy Radke for winning all four of their matches. Please Note: It is essential for everyone to be on time so as to hopefully play all four matches before noon. Thus, it is consequential that shufflers be on-site no later than 8:45 AM before the start of play. Also please remember that shufflers are responsible for cleaning their courts and discs after completing their fourth and last match. As Joe would say, gracie e a presto!

Some club members enjoyed playing shuffleboard on Tuesday, the day after the summer solstice. This image was taken on a calm 77 degree balmy summer evening at 8:15 pm with four courts in play. Our historical courts are one of the many delights found in New Smyrna Beach which make this such a charming place to visit.
Friday evening’s monthly Pot Luck Dinner had 30 peckish club members savoring some wonderful culinary delights. It was hard to fit so much of the wholesome edibles on the tables. Our club President, Allen Best, introduced our newest member, Jean Minerd, who came to enjoy the food and have some fun. Allen also mentioned that he had recently met the new City Recreation person (who took Liz Yancey’s place) and that she assured him the courts were safe. He asked everyone to be thinking about what we could notably do for our club’s 80th Anniversary, which we will be celebrating throughout 2017. Allen also asked us to give silent prayers for those who had lost their lives in the recent terrible Orlando terrorist shootings.
Barb Nephew won the 50/50 drawing and thereafter, our most senior member, Bud Barker, led the way to the banquet table. We talked about summer trips that some would be taking and the shuffleboard games we had played. When we were finished, the tables were quickly cleared, the dishes washed and those who were staying prepared for the challenge of throwing the dice in Bunco. Hasta la vista!
New Smyrna Beach is doing a Reggae & Island Music Festival
Event on Flagler Ave. tonight (no fireworks in parking lot). CMS Club members CAN PLAY OUR REGULAR SHUFFLEBOARD but parking will be at a premium. It will be necessary to come early to find parking. It might be a good thing for people to see us playing shuffleboard which will help promote the club. You may also have an opportunity to enjoy the festival. See you there!
Our club’s open Thursday morning Four-Play matches had twenty-five (25) shufflers who showed up for the challenge. Today only Bob Metz (Orange City)was able to win all four of his matches. Congratulations!
