Ontario Shuffleboard News and Information

We want to congratulate Maureen Bryan and Bill Oostdyk on their entry to the Ontario Shuffleboard Association Hall of Fame. Bill and Maureen achieved the necessary points (35) to qualify for the OSA Hall of Fame in the player category. They have played together for several years.

They are both well deserving of this award.
Due to the corona virus this year we do not have an AGM or Tournament where we could present them with their HOF, jackets and plaques. Hopefully they will be able to make their acceptance speeches in the near future.

Two more great players join this prestigious group in the OSA Hall of Fame player category. Congratulations to Maureen Bryan and Bill Oostdyk,

Marlene Corbeil, Chair of the OSA Hall of Fame Committee.

Freda of Port Rowan as written us to say –
We are planning to resurface our outdoor concrete shuffleboard courts in Port Rowan, Ontario. Could you recommend what type of paint should be used for this purpose? It was recommended to use H & C Concrete Stain by Sherwin Williams but we could not find it on their website. Any recommendations for painting and what paint to use would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Freda has added that they have two courts

Evan made a comment that they are very keen shufflers in Port Rowan ans could really use our help. (Click on Comments below)

Shuffleboard Bill looked up the DOM Sports (our sponsor) website which has lots of useful information, although the part about paint may be out of date as provincials laws have  changed. http://www.domsports.com/pdfs/Building%20a%20Shuffleboard%20Court.PDF

Geordie Archer has passed away after a long battle with cancer. Geordie was a member of the Coldwater Shuffleboard Club. He enjoyed playing and competing in the game. Geordie was always at the shuffleboard club working on the courts and assisting in every way he could. Carol, his wife is the President of the Coldwater Shuffleboard Club. Our thoughts and Prayers go out to his wife Carol and the Archer family.

Carole Archer, Coldwater President, had sent an email saying

In talking to Carole Archer today I asked about their summer season, and she told me  that she is having to tell everyone that the Coldwater summer season is cancelled, and any further news will be announced.

Due to several emails coming to me at once, I missed posting the following from Carole Archer, Coldwater Club President:

“As most of you know, it is with a heavy heart that I send this email to say that we lost three of our shufflers in the last week and one in the last couple of months.  Firstly, Marilyn Graves, then Wilson Davy, Liz Fox and four days later Lyle.  It is truly a trying time for everyone and now with this Covid-19 it makes it even harder to keep in touch with everyone.  I just want everyone to know that once this virus is over, we will all get together and hopefully sooner than later.”

Carole has included a picture of Liz and Lyle Fox-

The OSA will be postponing all tournaments for 2020, as we are in this pandemic, we need you to stay home and stay safe. We will keep you undated on any future news.
Carl Rogerson, Pres. OSA.
