From Maureen Bryan      
Fergus hosted an invitational fun tournament on Sept. 12/ 2012 with St. Mary’s as our guests. We filled 10 courts, 3 games in the morning, and 3 games in the afternoon , with lunch served between the sets, provided by Fergus. 

Our Fergus club encouraged our newer members from our club to play in this tournament, as many have never played outside their own club or have had minimal exposure to tournament play. This was to promote the game we love and to give them confidence , that what they have learned, was good enough to go out of their comfort zone, and compete with others. Win or lose , they were sure to have fun and meet many other shuffle friends. 

Our members said they had a great day and met up with some very talented shufflers, not realizing that most were well seasoned shufflers with years of experience , and some of them pros. Like they say, anyone can be beaten on any given day. Well our Fergus shufflers surprised themselves, with nervousness set aside , they played hard and won the tournament, 34.5 games to 25.5 games for St. Mary’s.

We just wanted them to have fun and meet our gracious friends from St. Mary’s. We are very proud of them and we are sure you will see them next year signing up for tournaments. We thank St. Mary’s for coming to our club, and they have invited us back next year to their club for a rematch. (or revenge)? Shuffle, what a great sport!

Maureen Bryan ( on behalf of the Fergus Club & pres. Rendall Bilton )

Chatham (Thames-Horizon) Club info.

I just received the following email from Hubert van Eerd, Chatham club president, apparently forced one again into an uncertain situation for a place to play (survival of the club). If you read this and can pitch in to help with any ideas or resources, please let Hubert know. I’d suggest a word or two of encouragement would be a plus. (You may comment below on this post, or contact Hubert at 519-354-0758 or hcveerd@yahoo.com)

From Hubert ,09/09/2012:
— — — — — — — — — — –
“At this time we are looking for a different place to play.
We have a meeting with city officials scheduled for some time in October.
As soon as we know where we can play we will let you know.

“It is not likely that we can set up a schedule until spring as we have to wait until the hockey season is over.

“Thanks, Hubert

Additions to ShuffleON

We have largely completed the change-over to ShuffleON from the previous OSA website. The results of all this year’s tournaments have been included on the Events and Results page. The latest changes include three new pages of information available via the black-bar menu: Business (Minutes of OSA meetings etc.), Hall Of Fame, and History. Contents were moved over from the former website. Still to come: The Clubs page to be populated from the old site, and a page for Player Points to be added when the up-to-date stats are available.  Meanwhile the Home page is still where to look for the latest Ontario shuffleboard news

Don’t forget, you can be notified by email when any news is posted to the Home page – Just click the +Follow button found in the lower right corner of the screen, and follow a few simple instructions.

Cheers, Bill Boyes

3. Val Priebe – 4 wins – (+37)
4. Bob Davies – 3 wins – (+189)
Three other players had 3 wins Audrey Middleton (+130), Ann Balson (+69) and Ken Rohrer (+43)

Woodstock – Lunch.

Thanks George. Basically, the message is that as far as we know, NO LUNCH WILL BE AVAILABLE AT WOODSTOCK. You are advised to pick up your own lunch before you get there in the morning. One of the two Subway Sanwitch shops may be convenient, as shown on the attached map (jpg file).

A New Beginning

Hello everyone. This is the alternative Ontario Shuffleboard home page. We aim to make it even better than the other Ontario Shuffleboard website, which is currently off the air due apparently to technical difficulties since June 9th, originating with the service provider, Web Hosting World. means we must  take the steps to begin to replace the old OSA website – beginning with an immediate focus on information about this summer’s tournaments and results.

Why the change from previous “The Ontario Shuffler” web pages? After two years of providing us with good service, our hosting service provider (Web Hosting World)  took us off the air immediately after accepting our money ($27.00) for the coming year. Some excuses were provided, including “server problems” but now, just silence.  The OSA website has been off the air for a week, and it appears that Web-Hosting-World does not care. Hopefully WHW can get things working again, otherwise we must permanently switch to a more reliable hosting services company – in this case WordPress.

WordPress has a good track record – reliable service to The Shufflers News for CNSA  Shuffleboard Canada, plus The Coronado/Mainland Shuffler.

So this is it, for now. The “About Us” page is in place, and the Events page which shows the upcoming Ontario tournaments. Click on either menu item located in the “black bar” menu above. Tournament results and other news will be posted via the Home page, and a list of all articles posted is shown on the right sidebar.

The next step is to post information about Ontario Shuffleboard Clubs.

Please make any comments in the box provided below, or email to bill.boyes@bell.net, of shuffleboardbill@gmail.com.

Cheers, Bill Boyes
