It had escaped the attention of this webmaster that a technical problem obliterated the original post for the Ingersoll Club. Thanks for noticing Myrna! And although too late for the Mingle Single event mentioned below, EVERYONE, if you get a chance, drop by Ingersoll for a game of shuffleboard!

Ernie Thomas reports that he.did not win the 50/50 in Nobel, He won the 50/50 in Coldwater.
Does anyone know who won the 50/50 in Nobel open Tournament?

Thanks,
Bill

​Some folks have asked about who won the 50-50, and when was the draw and announcement? Good questions, and it tells us that we can do a better job of communicating to the folks attending the tournaments (and maybe more importantly, those who bought 50-50 tickets).

So next year, we will! And if we don’t, LET US KNOW. (Please!)

The Nobel winner of the Amateur 50-50 (AMs are not as good at 50-50?, LOL), was Bev Fowler. (Bev donated her winnings to the Nobel Club. YAY BEV!). The winner of the Expert 50-50 (begging the question again), was Ernie Thomas.

Note that both Bev and Ernie are AMs!

CNSA HOF Jackets were presented at the Nobel tournament by CNSA president Jim Corbeil. Recipients were:
Barb Pipher,
Lorraine Pollock,
and Bill Pollock.
Congratulations once again to these valued members of our shuffleboard family.

OSA President Rendall Bilton

On behalf of the OSA, I want to thank the Nobel Shuffleboard Club and

President Dick Lubbelinkhof for hosting the OSA Doubles Tournament

that took place on July 26th – 28 th 2016.

Thanks for allowing the eight campers to use the parking lot for their

RV’s. This makes it very comfortable for the campers in a lovely area of

northern Ontario.

Special thanks to Marlene Corbeil for being a dedicated tournament

director and to Muriel Burnett and Bill Boyes for their picture and

write-up coverage of all the OSA tournaments. I appreciate the hours of

work they spend on their jobs.

CNSA President Jim Corbeil presented HOF jackets to Barb Pipher, Bill

and Lorraine Pollock. Congratulations – they are great ambassadors of

shuffleboard.

Congratulations to Roy Babcock for achieving his 35 points to be

inducted into the OSA Hall of Fame.

Shuffler friends were saddened to hear the news of the passing of

Frank and Ruth Anne Sebo’s daughter-in- law. Our thoughts and prayers

are with them and their family.

Sincere thanks to OSA secretary Maureen Bryan, the OSA Board

Members and committees for making my job easy. I appreciate their

support and dedication to shuffleboard.

I want to thank all the shufflers that took part and supported the OSA

Tournaments. We had record breaking attendance this summer. I look

forward to seeing everyone next year.

Sincerely, Rendall Bilton OSA President

We all know Roy Babcock is one of the greatest shufflers in Ontario, Canada and Florida. Roy earned his District Hall of Fame in Lee County, Florida in 2015.
Today, in Nobel, Ontario, shuffling with his partner Myrna Bilton, Roy earned his 35 points to enter the OSA HOF. Roy and Myrna partner together often, and make a great team.
Over the years, Roy has played with, and coached many amateurs, and is always ready to help anyone improve their game of shuffleboard.

Congratulations Roy!

By Muriel Burnett

John Vertraten stands in front of the McDougall Recreational Centre in Nobel. He has been working alongside President Dick Lubbelinkhof to get ready for Ontario shufflers.

Eight trailers and campers are enjoying the fine weather and hospitality.

Josephine Vertraten and Sonia Lubbelinkhof are taking care of the kitchen.

Audrey Lamb and her brother Paul Alward play together.

Carol Archer and Ada Roth relax between games.

Fans line up to watch the games.

Does anyone have s waxing machine to spare, or care to make one for the Seaforth Club?

From Larry Larsen via a comment on the Goderich Club information –

From Myrna re her achievement of gaining 35 points for eligibility to enter the Ontario Shuffleboard Association Hall Of fame:

All I wanted to do was “Represent my Country” and now I have achieved 35

points, that allows me to enter into the OSA Hall of Fame!!

With the encouragement of Lorraine Pollock I started to play tournaments in

Florida and Ontario. In 2008 I was honoured to represent Canada in the ISA

Tournament at Australia. Stan and Lois McCormack were our captains – again

more encouragement. That did it!! The shuffleboard bug had bitten me!!

My first tournament in Ontario was in Coldwater with my partner, husband

Rendall, and 8 years later in Coldwater, with my partner Roy Babcock, that I was

able to achieve 35 points – “Special Thanks Guys”.

I appreciate my many friends and partners that have joined me on my

shuffleboard journey. Without them, I would never have achieved this

accomplishment.

I want to encourage everyone to play shuffleboard and have fun meeting new

friends

“We are all winners to be able to play shuffleboard, and if it is our turn to win a

tournament, it is a bonus”.

With a grateful heart,

Myrna

Parry Sound has become known as Hollywood north. Every year, there are movies and TV shows being filmed and produced in our area.

The Township of McDougall just called to notify us that all motor homes, RV’s, etc., must be off site no later than 4:00 pm on Thursday, following the tournament, as the movie crew and all their equipment are moving on site for the long weekend. If anyone intends on staying over on Thursday evening, they are able to park at the Walmart parking lot. To keep good relations with the Township so that we can continue to use the facility for the Provincial Tournaments, we would appreciate everyone’s cooperation in this matter.

Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing everyone next week.

Donna Lubbelinkhof

On behalf of the OSA, I want to thank the Coldwater Shuffleboard Club president George O’Reilly and club members for hosting the Ontario Shuffleboard Association Tournament that was held on July 12 th , 13 th & 14 th 2016. This tournament was a huge success with 31 teams for the amateurs and 31 teams for the experts.

Thanks to the lunch committee for the delicious lunches that they fed us, and the court workers who worked tirelessly in the “heat” keeping the courts swept and beaded.

We sure appreciate the opportunity to park our RV’s behind the Curling Club building. This year there were 9 trailers – a record!! Shuffleboard is growing!!

Thank you to Marlene Corbeil for being the tournament director. Again she did an outstanding job.

Congratulations to my wife, Myrna Bilton for achieving her 35 points to be inducted into the OSA Hall of Fame.

Our last OSA Tournament for this summer will be held on July 26th , 27th & 28th, 2016 at Nobel Ont.

Minutes of meeting of OSA board at Goderich, June 29, 2016

The OSA Board discussed the proposal of the following.

The $10.00 entry fee paid by each shuffler at an OSA Tournament ,

would be divided as such, $5.00 to prize money,
$2.00 to the OSA,
$1.50 to host club.
$1.50 to tourn. director.

This gives the OSA , a small amount of money from each tournament , to help them pay for tournaments in the future. If the OSA doesn’t save some funds coming in , then we will run out of money, and not be able to support these tournaments in the future.

This proposal was passed by the board, and will be in effect starting with the Coldwater Tournament of this year,

on July 12-14 , 2016. If there are any questions over this proposal, you can forward them to the Pres.Rendall Bilton,

but this decision will be brought up at next year’s AGM., but as of now it is a confirmed decision.

Regards Rendall Bilton, Pres. OSA
Maureen Bryan, Sec.OSA.

For everyone’s information,  OSA 1st VP, Carl Rogerson, fell July 6th, fracturing  his right wrist, and had surgery July 11th having a plate and pins put in.

From Dick Lubbelinkhof:
Trailer parking from Monday noon to Friday noon only. For those folks as well, the Bylaw is No Generators can be run between 11 PM and 7 AM.

OSA President Rendall Bilton has declared that Coldwater is the Capital of Shuffleboard in Ontario. Rendall also stated "There will be new and surprising things here in Coldwater to come next year.".

Impressive!

Playing in Coldwater tomorrow, and staying in a Midland motel, I searched out the Midland Shuffleboard courts. Charming! Four courts, recently re-painted. Here’s some pics.
# The sign at the entrance, southbound on King St.
# The drive down the laneway leads to the bowls and Shuffleboard.
# The Shuffleboard, in a nice setting, and very well kept.

EVERYONE! – Come to COLDWATER July 12 – 14!  It promises to be a great shuffleboard tournament once again, in a great facility, and now, some great prizes!

DOM Sports, sponsor of the Ontario Shuffleboard Association, has donated prizes worth well over $200, to the Coldwater Tournament.

Hello Marc

Your generous donation of fun things have arrived.

I have them in a safe place to take to the Coldwater Tournament on July 12th.

I have talked with the Coldwater Shuffleboard president and gave him the good news.

A sincere Thanks

Rendall

From: James and Marlene

Marlene and I were invited to Ancaster today to see their Senior Center and Shuffleboard Club

John Mickle has a great group of shuffleboard players.

They have a very nice complex with 3 courts, 1quite challenging, all very fast. In fact, they are so fast they are scary.

A very friendly group and they enjoy their afternoon of competition.

Thank you for your invite John, Marlene and I enjoyed the afternoon.

Thanks Jim – Club News is always interesting, and appreciated. – Webmaster Bill

From: Marianne/Ron Ferguson

Attached is our flyer advertising “NEW format for the BIG APPLE TOURNAMENT:”

After 25 plus years of having the APPLE TOURNAMENT  play in a “Mixed Draw Doubles” format, we had a Club meeting and have decided to run our APPLE tournament this year applying a “MINGLE-SINGLES” format.

In recent conversations with Jim and Marlene Corbeil and Ruth Stewart, they thought it would be a good idea to change away from the mixed draw double Still playing to win apples, the shufflers have the opportunity to play in all games.  (Not travel 40 miles, and have a bye in their first game, lose in your second game and go home because you are done.)  This was the main complaint we had with the Mixed-Draw Double format last year.

Hopefully this NEW format will be well received by all.

Ron Ferguson:
St.Marys Shuffleboard Club.

Peter Berg’s induction into the OSA Hall Of Fame, Player Category could not have been more deserved.

Come to Scarborough Shuffleboard Club – Fun with friends! We’d love to see you, and our club membership is only $15 per year! Play in a relaxed atmosphere on Tuesday mornings, September to June.

Our club plays at the Commander Park Community Centre, 140 Commander Park Rd., in Scarborough (Toronto) Ontario. We have eight courts on the second floor (new elevator!) and have lots of cues available for members and any guests who wish to join us. We shuffle from 9:00 AM to about noon on Tuesdays. We play 2 games of singles, break for free coffee/tea and cookies and then 2 games with partners. Before each game we draw for courts and partners. Members vary from experts to newbies and about 12 to 25 of us show up to shuffle each week. We have a 50-50 draw weekly – 50 cents per ticket to support our otherwise free coffee, tea and cookies. Membership is only $15 annually for our September to June playing season. (We are charged no fees for the facility, but cannot use it during July and August to save Toronto money for air conditioning.) We have a group lunch at the end of June to celebrate our year of fun and fellowship!

For updated info please see the posting from 2016 September

Another year of fellowship and fun from our shuffleboard club held at ELORA. Ended our season with wine and pizza, and storing our equipment for the winter months. Many thanks go to our members for all their help during the year, and making our tournament last June a great success.

Wishing all a safe winter season, good health to all, and see you in the spring.
