The Coronado/Mainland Shuffler

PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS: On  Oct 16th at 9:00 am we will need volunteers to wash, wax and clean the courts for the Northern District Tournament which will be held on the 18th and 19th. We need to wash out the erasers and wash the calk boards and make everything look ship shape.

During the Tournament on Oct 18th and 19th  which starts at 9:00 am, we will need volunteers to help out . We need people to sign up for the morning or afternoon on the first day to set up the courts and help with the waxing during the tournament.  Please come early to help set up the courts.  We also need people for the morning on the second day to wax discs and sweep the courts after the tournament.

The sign up sheet for both above events are in the Cue House. Please volunteer to help. Without our volunteers we would not be a club. Thanks for your attention to this request. See you there.

Time to Wash and Wax the courts

Despite the early morning rain, Tom Carbonell, Randy Radke, Rich Kordeleski and Charlie Jones showed up to dry and clean the courts for the NSB 26th Annual Senior Olympics Shuffleboard Game. The kitchen crew, Bonnie Radke, Mary McConnell, Candy Kordeleski and Connie Bousquet set the tables and made the coffee. The donuts were donated by the NSB Parks and Recreation department. Sixteen (16) enthusiastic players showed up for all the fun and games. We explained the shuffleboard rules of the game to the participants who each played three matches of sixteen frames. At the end of the three matches, we totaled all the scores.

Please CONGRATULATE the place holders: MEN: Gold – George Karras with 265 points. Silver – Allen Best with 239 points. Bronze – Rich Kordeleski with 201 points.
WOMEN: Gold – Candy Kordeleski with 253 points. Silver – Betty Buccini with 218 points. Bronze – Joan Best with 152 points.  We all had a great time despite the intermittent sprinkles. Thanks to everyone who participated in these fun and games.

I had posted previously a request to know if anyone else was coming to the dinner. Since then I am sad to say I was notified that Allen Best’s father past away yesterday, so he and Joan will also not be there. We are sorry for his loss.  THE POT LUCK DINNER FOR 9/21 TODAY HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

So far we only have 7 people signed up for the dinner. If you are planning to come, please let me know by tonight or I will be forced to cancel the dinner. It is fun for us all to eat together but it is also a lot of work setting everything up. Hope everyone can come. Please let me know. Thanks

This morning the usual clean-up crew showed up to prepare the courts for our Thursday Morning Four-Play Challenge. We had Twenty-Three (23) enthusiastic players show up for the TMF-P Challenge. One court was a “Round Robin”. Each shuffler played four matches. We Congratulate Charlie Jones, Debbie Evans, Bonnie Radke and Dennis Buelk for winning all four (4) of their matches. Next week is our last week to play this TMF-P Challenge. Hoping to see you there. Ciao!
