A note from the soon to be President of the Northern District.

It was so good to see so many club presidents asking questions and making comments at the district meeting on Saturday.  It does tell us and myself in particular, there is genuine  concern, and interest in the District.

At this time I would like to let you know that there will be classes for tournament directors on Sun. Feb. 10th @ Tavares from 1:30 to 4:30 approx. We are hoping that each club who hosts tournaments to have attendance . If this does not pan out , we may have to resort to eliminating tournaments in our district for next season.
I do not have a way to contact all clubs, so pass the word to anyone who may be interested in directing tournaments. Those that attend must be seriously interested in directing. Please, let me know by email with any names you can provide for this.

Thanks

Take Care Lorraine Layton

Last year we played five games of 12 frames each. The winners recorded their scores. After three matches, we broke for a lunch of subs, chips and cake.  Then we played our last two games. While Dennis (Director) tallied the scores, the rest of us cleaned the courts and put everything away.

The top three Amateurs and top three Pros/State Ams take home the winnings. Please be considerate and do not start to play if you cannot stay till the end.  Remember, you do not have to be single to play. Hope to see you there. Ciao!

We had a pleasant day for our January Fun Day. Arden and Mary McConnell came early to begin setting up the courts before others arrived to help-out. Barb Fortini, Jane, Diane Hamas and Mary Harlow got the kitchen going. Barb Fortini then took over registering the shufflers for the games. Joan Best handled the 50/50 which was won by Cathy Kennedy. Al Best organized the teams to play on 20 courts. After Fun Play, we all met back at the clubhouse for lunch while Barb totaled up each of the team scores. Allen called out all the participating teams and presented them their winnings.

The January Pot Luck Dinner was attended by new and old friends. We had Forty-Four (44) members present at our social dinner. Tom Carbonell was unable to attend so Al Best agreed to MC. We had eight tables of cheerful members who brought wonderful culinary delights to share. Thanks to everyone who helped to set up and clean up.  Mike Darling won our 50/50 drawing. We lined up for the buffet and then settled down to an enjoyable evening with friends. Following dinner the tables and chairs were cleaned and put away.  Remaining members set up for a friendly game of Bunco. We all look forward to the next time we can socialize over food and drink. See you there. Ciao!
