The Coronado/Mainland Shuffler

Leesburg Shuffleboard Club hosted the ND06 Men’s Doubles and Ladies Doubles Tournament on Nov 2nd and 3rd, 2023. This year was a special occasion as the Tournament was named the Bob Brandt Memorial Tournament. Bob’s wife together with friends, Dave Dean and Yvonne Alberg generously sponsored the tournament with prize money and a plaque. Bob passed away three years ago but the family was pleased to see so many shufflers come to remember his name with the family. There was a quilt raffle and plenty of good treats to go with the coffee. The Director was Bob Robinson.

We a special picture with all the shufflers and one with the 90 years and over shufflers. The two days were very enjoyable and the weather was somewhat interesting with cold, wind, sun and clouds with a mixture of sprinkles.
