This morning was 47 degree and only Eight (8) hardy shufflers showed up for the Singles Mingles Challenge. While cleaning the courts a raccoon checked us out. We each played five matches, recording the winning scores, before drawing  partners for the next match. The wind picked up and it got even colder during the subsequent matches.

Congratulations to the winners:

First Place : Debbie Evans;  Second Place: Darrel Harman; Third Place: Cindy Wonson.  We will not play on Christmas Day. January 8th will be the next scheduled day for Singles Mingles. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Ciao!

Debbie, Darrel and Cindy

Anyone know who this is?

Once again it is time to sign up for the Christmas Pot Luck Dinner this FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14th. We have very few people signed up and we need to know how many people are coming in order for the club to prepare the proper amount of ham and table settings for the dinner. Please let me know by email or sign up in the cue house by NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 12th.

We also do not have enough people signed up at the moment for THE DECEMBER FUN DAY ON Saturday, Dec 15th. We need to have people sign up in order to confirm this event and buy the proper number of hot dogs and chips. Please sign up by Thursday or we will have to CANCEL the December Fun Day. Thank you for your attention to this notice.

The Coronado Mainland Shuffleboard Club hosted the Northern District Pro Doubles, Amateur Doubles Tournament on Dec 6/7, 2018. Rich Kordeleski and his court crew (John Fortini, Bill Boyes, Bob Stock, Sid Pomainville, Tim Pergrem, and Mary McConnell) had placed the courts in great shape. Candy Kordeleski and her kitchen crew (Connie Bousquet, Barb Nephew, Honey Donnelly) had coffee and donuts ready for the shufflers at 8 am while the entry fees were being collected.

We had Thirty (30) Pro shufflers (8 declared CMS members) and Eighteen (18) Amateur shufflers (12 declared CMS members). Tom Carbonell lead us in a silent prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. Allen Dronsfield read the winners from the last ND Tournament. Frank Cherill won the 50/50. The much appreciated Directors for the Tournament were Carolyn and Richie Burrell. Our generous sponsor was Tom Carbonell.

More Pictures from the Tournament

Eleven (11) Volunteers showed up this morning to clean and prepare the courts for our Northern District Tournament on Thursday and Friday. We washed the boards and the sponges. Cleaned most of the discs. Swept the Cue House and swept the courts. Rich Kordeleski had come over the day before and cleared all the weeds and then toweled all the courts. Thanks to Tom Carbonell, Tom Grubb, John Fortini, Rod and Donna Lewis, Bob Stock, Mary McConnell, Dave Helverson, Felix Piscitelli, Bonnie and Randy Radke for all their hard work.

We still need Volunteers for the Tournament on Thursday and Friday Dec 6/7 to help with the discs and the courts. Participants in the tournament are not allowed to maintain the discs.  Please sign up in the Cue House.

The town employees have been hard at work replacing 2 x 4s, painting the side boards, seats and repairing the hurricane brackets holding up our roofs.  Everyone is working hard to make our courts look great for our guests.  Thank you.  Ciao!

Denny and Angie Wyss made a donation to repair some of our lightly used gold metal shuffleboard cues. Rick Kordeleski has been able to refurbish five (5) of these with new swivel heads/ runners and handles which are now for sale for $25.00.  These are a bargain compared to new cues sold locally.  Inquire with Dennis, Bonnie or Rich.  Ciao!

Saturday we held the Executive Board Meeting at 10:00 am. I will be posting the minutes later on. We had 8 board members present. Tom Carbonell brought the meeting to order.  Several issues were brought up that were important for the club. The General Board Meeting at 11:00 am had only 20 members (including the Exec. Board) attending. We had to table these important issues till next month’s board meeting ( January 5th) because the importance of these changes should not be left to only 20 members out of our  300 person membership without having more input from more members.

We discussed changing playing times for daily and Saturday play.  We need your input.  We were also discussing playing 16 frames instead of 75 points for tournaments held on our courts.  These two items will be discussed at the next meeting, so please attend because your input is important.

Rich Kordeleski held up five Cue Sticks that he has refurbished for the club to sell.  The money for the parts was donated by Angie and Denny Wyss.  We will be selling them for $25.00 each.  Please mark your calendars and lets have a good showing for the discussion of these important issues at our next board meeting in January.  Ciao!
