This is the beginning of our shuffling season. Here’s the people that showed up today for the Northern District men’s Doubles and ladies Doubles tournament at The Leesburg Shuffleboard courts. This tournament was the Dave Dean memorial. The day started off good before having a rain delay, then we were able finish the days matches. Players that won today will be playing tomorrow for final finish positions.

What a great group of shufflers. So sad the city is disrespectful of their elders and is shutting it down.

I put a sign up sheet on the bulletin board in the Cue house for Volunteers to sign up to help for our tournament on Thursday and Friday, Oct 9 and 10. Please write your name and put a check mark for what times you can work. Without our volunteers we would not be able to hold tournaments. Thanks for your help. Also if anyone would like to donate water for the tournament, it would be appreciated.

Just a quick note to remind everyone that it is time to pay our dues. Especially those who are playing in the beginning ND tournaments.

Also just a quick note to remind everyone that Sept 30 is the day we have the Senior Olympic Games at our courts. There WILL BE NO REGULAR PLAY ON SEPT. 30.

Thanks for your attention to this post.

Leesburg is planning on having all three of our scheduled October tournaments.  We are scheduled to be closed by the city on November 7^th.  We have a lawyer and have sued the city and we are fighting to keep our courts.

  Our first tournament will be a tournament in honor of Dave Dean who passed away on 6/27/25.  We will have a short program about Dave before the tournament and many people have contributed to sponsor this tournament held on Oct 2^nd.  Some of our former members are coming out of “retirement” to play in Dave’s honor and we hope many Northern district players will join us in this celebration of Dave.

  We will also have a special tournament on October 30^th which is the Bob Brandt Memorial Tournament.  This was started several years ago and the winners have their names added to the plaque.  Many are also helping to sponsor this special tournament.

Debbie Evans sent me this invitation for everyone not just the members currently playing.

Spectrum News 13 did a good job explains how Leesburg wants to take away the only exercise and socializing place for 90 plus shufflers to build 10 tiny homes for kids!

Please protect Leesburg courts! Please attend this meeting and let the City Commissioners know that they have the power to help homeless kids AND preserve the Leesburg Shuffleboard Courts and Club.

I have confirmed the change of meeting location (below) with the Leesburg City Clerk’s office.
