Myrna Bilton says –

Just home from the CNSA Shuffleboard Tournament at Coldwater..

Sincere “Thanks” to Coldwater Shuffleboard Club and President Carol Archer for hosting a successful tournament.
Thank you to CNSA President Jim Corbeil for his leadership and Marlene Corbeil for being the tournament director. Many thanks to the volunteers.
These events …don’t just happen!! It takes many hands who work tirelessly for the love of shuffleboard.
Coldwater will always be special to my husband Rendall and myself. We played our first tournament in 2008 at Coldwater. Don’t mistake the name Coldwater……the people are extremely warm, friendly people. It was great to see Stan McCormack, Gary & Barb Pipher, Ross Pipher, Bev Fowler, George O’Reilly and many more of our shuffleboard friends. We did a lot of reminiscing of our shuffleboard tournaments. We sure missed Bill & Lorraine Pollock. We keep Lorraine in our prayers for good health and to Bill for being her faithful caregiver.

Rendall once said “Coldwater Shuffleboard Club is the Shuffleboard Capital of Ontario”.
Thanks to Gary Pipher, George O’Reilly and helpers that put up the sign…….Rendall is very happy to see this prestigious sign.

Sincerely Carl Rogerson , Pres.

We have just learned of sad news .. Myrna Bilton announced at the ISA banquet that she has just learned of the passing of Phil Hill. We l raised our glasses in a toast to Phil. We express our condolences to Phil’s wife Pam and family.

WEDNESDAY AUGUST 1st is the last Ingersoll Single/Mingles for this summer.
MONDAY AUGUST 13th is the last day of shuffleboard play this summer.

The above has been made necessary because the ice has to go in for an early start to the Curling season this year.

We will also take this opportunity to apologise for some information posted for Ingersoll club: Single/Mingles should have said “Wednesdays”, not “Mondays”. We promise to do better for next year!

Shortly after this re porter arrived on the scene within The Gorge” restaurant (known to be a favourite haunt for shufflers), Carl Rogerson, the newly elected OSA president, insisted we all end our meal with a little ice cream, with 10 spoons!.

The Golden Acres Shuffle Club, located in Blenheim, On, continues to attract new members to the 3 year old club. To date this year, 15 new members have joined the 16 court club  bringing their full membership to 90 members as of early June. Someone new seems to arrive each week from “word of mouth” which is a credit to our existing members speaking positively about the club.  League play occurs Monday mornings and Wednesday evenings from early May until late September. 3-16 frame games are played in a jitney style which appears to favour both seasoned players and newcomers to the game and new friends are developed each week. Monday mornings are the most popular with 79 registered players however Wednesday night’s participation has increased 33% over 2017 with 48 members now registered. Wednesday night play also changes the format by alternating each week between regular play and “Hoss Collar” and “Build a House” to give some variety to players that play both days. The club is located in the Golden Acres Curling Club.

ATTENTION OSA MEMBERS. Election year, June 12-2018, at the AGM.

Let’s see new members take on some of the open positions on the board. We need new ideas, and lots of enthusiasm. This is your chance to have your voices heard and make the OSA even stronger. Be sure to attend this important meeting, we need to keep our game of shuffleboard active and fun. We need growth in all clubs, and we need your support in doing so. See you in ELORA. Rendall Bilton, President. Maureen Bryan, Sec.

Condolences to Stan & Family

On behalf of the ISA (Myrna) and the OSA (Rendall) we send our deepest condolences to Stan and family on the passing of Lois.

Lois was well known at all levels of the shuffleboard families. From local clubs to travelling with the ISA. Lois was a “wonderful lady” and was well respected by all who knew her. We feel blessed to have known her. We will treasure the wonderful memories of our friendship and travels with Lois and Stan.

May Gods love comfort Stan and family now and always. A family is a circle of love, not broken by a loss, but made stronger by the memories.

We keep you in our thoughts and prayers
Love Myrna & Rendall

With great sadness I have to inform you that Lois McCormack has passed. Lois was always a pleasure to be around. She was a very good shuffleboard player, and could compete with the best of them.

Lois and her husband Stan have done so very much for the sport of Shuffleboard. She was always there to help Stan
She will be missed by all who knew her.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Stan and the family.

Jim Corbeil, President Canadian National Shuffleboard Association .

From Mareen Bryan

As in the last several years our OSA tournaments have been mainly held in southern  Ontario.  We would like to see this extended over a wider area of our province.  We now have CNSA tournaments in ingersoll and Coldwater, as well as OSA tournaments in Elora, Goderich, and Blenheim.  We know it is a commitment for a club to host these events but we would like to see a stronger shuffleboard participation, especially further east and north within the province.

Any ideas would be appreciated on how some of this could be done, please send to me, and we will read your input at the OSA Annual General Meeting June 12th, 2018, in Elora.

To all: Please forward this to your club president.
Replies may be made to OSA webmaster, Bill Boyes – shuffleboardbill@gmail.com. 

Thanks for your time, regards
Maureen Bryan – Secretary OSA.

On behalf of the OSA, I want to congratulate the Ingersoll Shuffleboard Club for hosting their first shuffleboard tournament on May 28 – 30, 2018.
Special thanks to President Ruth Stewart, CNSA President Jim Corbeil and tournament director Marlene Corbeil for their work in making this CNSA tournament a huge success. Jim and Marlene did an excellent job of getting sponsors for the tournament. We appreciate their commitment to shuffleboard.
Congratulations to all who took part in this event.

We were grateful to have had the opportunity to park our campers at the Cheese and Agricultural Museum not far from the courts. We counted 11 campers……..lots of camaraderie!!!

I look forward to seeing everyone at Elora on Jun 12 th – 14 th, 2018 for the OSA tournament. Centre Wellington Shuffleboard Club members will welcome you.

Coldwater Shuffleboard has lost another treasured member of the Club. Eleanor Simmons passed away on April 30 at the Solders Memorial Hospital Orillia her 82nd year.Eleanor joined the Coldwater Club in 2006 and has always been a very active player and enjoyed meeting new players both at the Coldwater Club and the various other clubs where the tournaments are held throughout Ontario. Eleanor attended the winter shuffleboard round up dinner on April 10, and although she had been taking radiation treatments she was able to attend the dinner and enjoy the company of her fellow shufflers.
Many shuffleboard players will remember Eleanor and her shuffleboard partner Howard Snyder who played in many CNSA and OSA tournaments throughout Ontario.

For understanding…
The tournament is the 28,29, and 30th of May. The amateurs start on Monday and finish on Tuesday. The experts start on Tuesday and finish on Wednesday.
Ingersoll is a 3 Day tournament as we have 16 Courts. If you any other questions please contact me. 519-290-4400 or jcmccorbeil

Secretary.

OSA MEMBERS

AS THE AGENDA WILL BE POSTED IN MAY FOR THE OSA ANNUAL MEETING, WHICH WILL BE HELD JUNE 12 TH, 2018, AT ELORA, I HAVE ASKED THE COMMITTEE FOR THE CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS TO REVISE AND UPDATE THIS POLICY.
IT IS NOW IN IT’S 7TH YEAR SINCE ANY UPDATES HAVE OCCURRED AND THIS SHOULD BE DONE AT LEAST EVERY 5 YEARS OR SOONER IF THERE IS ANY CHANGES TO BE MADE.

THE FOLLOWING CHANGES I WOULD LIKE TO PUT FORWARD AS I SEE THEM.

1. THE EXECUTIVE OFFICERS ARE ELECTED BY THE MEMBERS AND ARE IN CHARGE OF THE OSA. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE PUT INTO SECTION IV.

2. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE APPOINTED, AND THEY MANAGE THE BUSINESS THAT THE EXECUTIVE APPOINTS THEM TO BE IN CHARGE OF. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE PLACED IN SECTION V. ( THIS IS ONLY A CHANGE OF PLACES AS SEEN ON THE POLICY NOW).

3. SECTION VII AND SECTION VIII SHOULD BE TWO YEAR TERMS , NOT THREE.

4. SECTION IX- OUR FISCAL YEAR SHOULD BE APRIL 1-MARCH31ST THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

5. SECTION 11- SHOULD READ-DUES TO BE DUE APRIL 1ST OF EACH YEAR AND ARE GOOD TO MARCH OF THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

THIS IS MY PROPOSAL FOR THE COMMITTEE TO GO OVER AND THESE CHANGES WILL BE DISCUSSED AT THE OSA MEETING. MAUREEN BRYAN SECRETARY OF OSA.

More on previous posting re: Coldwater

From Gary Pipher

Hi again Bill. One or two items I failed to add in my previous email was that Coldwater hosted the very first Inter Provincial Tournament and it has been a very successful tournament that is held in a different Province every two years.
The other item was the OSA cargo trailer which the club backed in support of a grant.

Thanks Bill for re-posting the article from Stan McCormacks blog .What I failed to mention in the article Stan posted on his blog was that it was Rendal Bilton “President of the OSA” who made the unexpected but excellent declaration of Coldwater being the “Shuffleboard Capital of Ontario” and he should be commended for his acknowledgment of the never ending support the Coldwater Shuffleboard Club gives back to Shuffleboard.
The new President of the Coldwater Shuffleboard club “Carol Archer” is very keen on Shuffleboard and we look forward to her continuance of this unwavering support.
While Curling is currently ongoing in the Curling Arena the Shuffleboard have moved for the winter and now play on 6 roll out courts in the comfortable auditorium of the Coldwater Municipal Arena from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm. The courts are always filled and several players waiting in the wings.
Coffee and treats are served in the morning and afternoon and many of the players partake in a great lunch at the Royal Canadian Legion next door.
For anyone who attended the OSA tournament in Coldwater last summer you will no doubt remember Carol Archer for her beautiful voice and acomplished organ playing at the opening ceremonies.
Coldwater Shuffleboard has always provided support for other Clubs who were just starting up such as : Fergus/Nobel/Picton/ Penetangushene /Puce /Bancroft/ Wasaga Beach and most recently to Jim Corbiels new Club in Ingersoll ; and of course the assistance the Coldwater members provided to the Canadian National Shuffleboard in hosting the 2 International Shuffleboard Tornaments in Midland Ontario.
They look forward to the tournament they will host in 2018 .

Marjorie Taylor

With great sadness, we extend our heartfelt wishes to the family of Marjorie Taylor, in their passing of their mother, and gramma. She will always be remembered as a great ambassador for shuffleboard. She was a wonderful friend and competitor. She will be greatly missed.

On behalf of the OSA members, we are deeply saddened by the news of Marjorie Taylor’s passing. Remembering Marj with fond memories will forever remain in our hearts. May she Rest In Peace.
We keep her family in our thoughts and prayers.
