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

Folks – which is correct? – the poster has the tournament starting on Monday May 28. The Events and Results page on the website has May 29 Amateurs start and May 30 Open starts. I’ll update ASAP if you can let me know.BTW, you have mentioned "Any Doubles" but for consistency, I think the Canadian term is "Open".
Cheers,

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.

On Dec 1, 2017 12:18 PM, “gary pipher” <garypipher> wrote:

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. 

Elora Shuffleboard Club ( Centre Wellington )

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.

Minutes – 2017 Annual General Meeting

Eight of us went to dinner. Only one decided to have dessert. A butterscotch sundae. Thanks Bev! "Seven spoons please waitress." said George. (Really? Seven? We would have to work something out). The sundae with spoons arriived. An extra big sundae. Spoons were passed around the table as far as they went. Poor Ella. Bev pushed the sundae to George. One spoonful gone. Then to Bill Bryan. Another gone, but no noticable dent in the amount left. Then Maureen goes after the overflowing butterscotch sauce. Then Bill Boyes has a go at it. Rip is next, enjoying it immensely. Then Carl, watched by Ella. Then Ella, sans spoon, is fed a mouthful by Bev. Lots still left. Bev wipes the spoon and takes some of HER sundae, then pushed it to George again. And so it went around again, with everyone having a second helping, and then a third, with much laughter and comment around the table. Present: Bev Fowler, George O’Reilly, Bill & Maureen Bryan, Bill Boyes, Rip Van Ginkle, Carl and Ella Rogerson.

On behalf of the OSA, I want to thank the Centre Wellington Shuffleboard Club for hosting the OSA Doubles Tournament that took place June 13th – 15^th,2017.  The club members did a tremendous job – the lunch committee kept our tummies filled with homemade soup and pies, and the guys kept the courts ready for play.

Thanks for doing the extra set up for the OSA, Annual General Meeting. Sincere thanks to the OSA Board and a special thanks to Secretary Maureen Bryan for her dedicated work.

Many thanks to Marlene Corbeil for being the Tournament Director and her helper, husband Jim.

Thanks to all the people who attended, to make the Centre Wellington Shuffleboard Club Tournament a success.

Congratulations to Roy Babcock and Myrna Bilton for their induction into the OSA Hall of Fame.

Rendall Bilton, Myrna Bilton and Muriel Burnett

Myrna Bilton was indicted into the Ontario Shuffleboard Association Hall Of Fame – P;ayer Category, in a ceremony held at the site of the OSA Doubles Tournament in Elora, June 14, 2017. Muriel Burnett did the presentation as follows:

Today, it is my honour and privilege to present Myrna Bilton for the Induction into the Ontario Shuffleboard Hall of Fame, Player’s Category Award.

We are extremely privileged, because standing before you is the International Shuffleboard Association, President. Myrna is the greatest promoter of shuffleboard you will ever meet.  In fact most of us here, myself included took up this wonderful game, at Myrna’s encouragement.

Myrna was introduced to shuffleboard by her father in the 1970s. I can honestly say Myrna, “Clifford is proud of you today”.  From 2001-2017, Myrna has supported and participated the park league of Lazy Days in North Fort Myers. She has taught new shufflers, and helped start a second park league, when there were too many players for our league.  A problem, most parks can only dream of.

Her competitive shuffleboard started in 2007 when she visited the ISA Tournament taking place in Midland.  She met Lorraine Pollock, and learned how to be chosen to participate, and, she brought a ton of friends with her. Myrna and Rendall went to the ISA tournament in Australia in 2008.  As an amazing ambassador of Canada, she received the Sports Merit Award  –  on her first ISA tournament!  2008 she got her first OSA point with her husband Rendall, playing in Coldwater.

She was a co-founder of the Centre Wellington Club which opened in 2009. This busy woman is still actively emailing reminders to members, and sending promotions to the local paper.  That’s Myrna first and foremost – promoting shuffleboard.

In 2009, she also played in the ISA Singles in Betmar Florida.  2009-2016 she served as a director of Lee County Shuffleboard Club in Florida.  Again, she taught new players to play the game.  2009 she played on Team Ontario at the Inter Provincial in Coldwater, Ontario.

2010 Myrna was captain of the ISA Ladies Team Canada in Germany.  They placed first.  That year, she took on the responsibility of CNSA secretary.

2011 Myrna played in the ISA Singles in Dieppe NB, and was part of a delegation that travelled to Russia.

2012-2014 Myrna served as CNSA President.  2012 she was Captain of the Ladies Team who placed first in the ISA Seattle tournament.

2012-2016 Myrna served as First Vice President of the ISA

2013 Myrna played at the St. Pete’s ISA singles and was part of the delegation that went to Norway.  She was on the Planning Committee for the 33^rd International World Championship in Midland, Ontario, and was the playing Captain of the Canadian Ladies Team.

2015 Myrna was part of a delegation that went to Norwich, England and represented Canada at the ISA Championship at Clearwater.

2014-2016 served as CNSA Past President.  She also was Captain for the Ladies Team Canada at the ISA in St. Cloud.

2016 became the ISA President, and achieved her 35 points with Partner Roy Babcock.  Myrna says Coldwater will always be special, she got her first and 35^th point there.  Coldwater is always special because of the great meals, camping camaraderie of the event –  and the Biltons are a big part of the love and laughter shared by all OSA players.

It gives me great pleasure to present the newest, very deserving, OSA HOF Recepient, my friend, and your friend, Myrna Bilton.

A reminder of the upcoming OSA-sanctioned* tournaments in Ontario
*  JUNE 27 – 29 – GODERICH – OSA DOUBLES

Myrna Bilton, Roy Babcock, Rendall Bilton

Roy Babcock was indicted into the Ontario Shuffleboard Association Hall Of Fame – P;ayer Category, in a ceremony held at the site of the OSA Doubles Tournament in Elora, June 14, 2017. Myrna Bilton,presentation follows:

Roy Babcock’s Shuffleboard Journey

In 1998 Roy and Lynda decided to spend their winters in Florida. Lynda being a nurse got a job at the Bradenton Hospital. Roy wondered what to do with himself. He found out about shuffleboard and decided to go to the courts and watch the “Pro Big Boys”. Roy has always been involved with sports so it didn’t take him long to want to play shuffleboard….he was hooked!!

Today it gives me great pleasure to honour Roy Babcock for his induction into the Ontario Shuffleboard Association, Hall of Fame Player Category.

Roy played his first Ontario singles shuffleboard tournament in 1999 at Newmarket.  Wherever there is a shuffleboard tournament you will see Roy. You would say……Roy is just a little bit competitive!!!

Roy has represented Canada in 5 International Tournaments…twice in Midland, Ont, Dieppe, NB, St Petersburg, FL and Clearwater, FL.  In 2014 he was a member of Team Canada that won gold in the ISA Championship in Midland, Ont. Roy brought pride to Canada in 2013 when he placed 3^rd  at the St Petersburg Singles ISA Championship.

Roy was presented with the USA National pin for placing 1^st at the National Singles in 2012 at Bradenton, Florida.

In 2014, Roy achieved his 35 points to enter the Florida Southern District HOF. Roy’s name is on a brick in the Hall of Fame walkway at the Lee County Shuffleboard Club in North Fort Myers, FL.  Roy has qualitied to play in the Florida Southern District Masters for 10 consecutive years.

For the many shuffleboard accomplishments Roy has achieved, he gladly gives back to shuffleboard by serving on the CNSA Board as 2^nd Vice President for four years.

Thanks to Roy for teaching many of us the skills of shuffleboard. He may “take you to the shed!!” or give you a list on how to make you a better shuffler……..one being “half a hide is better than no hide!!” The list is long……..Doesn’t matter how long the list is Roy, we love you. Its friends like Roy that we meet along the way that helps us appreciate life’s journey.

This is truly a special day for both of us Roy, with our achievement of 35 Expert points that is required for us to be inducted into the OSA Hall of Fame.

Thank you, Roy for being a partner to Rendall and me in many shuffleboard tournaments .

You have enriched our lives with your friendship and love.

It is truly a privilege and honour to present our friend Roy Babcock into the OSA Hall of Fame in the Player Category Award.

Sincerely

Rendall & Myrna Bilton                        June 14, 2017                               Elora, Ontario

On behalf of the OSA, I want to thank CNSA President Jim Corbeil and his helpers for hosting the CNSA tournament that was held  on May 29^th – June 1^st, 2017 at Woodstock, Ontario.

Thank you to Marlene Corbeil for being the tournament director. Again, she did an outstanding job. Jim and Marlene did an excellent job of getting sponsors for the tournament. We appreciate their commitment to shuffleboard.
