Decked Out For Christmas. The Elf on the Left is Bev Fowler
Coldwater Shuffleboard continues to play every Tue during these snowy winter months , in the auditorium of the Coldwater Municipal Arena and today they had their annual Christmas dinner. The day of Shuffleboard began at 9:00 am with three games of shuffleboard before stopping for turkey dinner with all the trimmings. President George O’Reilley welcomed everyone and thanked all the hard working ladies who cooked the turkeys and to everyone for bringing the salads the veggies and the deserts.
Beverly Fowler gave the blessing and her well chosen words had a special meaning to everyone during this festive season. President George thanked Beverly and congratulated her on winning a silver medal and for her outstanding performance at the recent International Shuffleboard Tournament in Florida.
Friendship Table
Many of the players wore their Christmas togs as can be seen in the photo and the long friendship table was set and ready for the meal.
The Coldwater Shuffleboard club wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas and hope to see you at the CNSA Tournament they will be hosting this coming summer .
Rendall and Myrna Bilton – Christmas Greetings
CHRISTMAS is a time to remember with fondness our friends from around the world, who have touched our lives in so many special ways……
May the Christmas season fill your home with JOY, your heart with LOVE and your life with LAUGHTER.

Thursday, September 15th was the final evening for the Centre Wellington Shuffleboard Club. Approximately 45 members attended. The evening began with a club photo taken by Chris Burnett, followed by two free games of shuffle. Then everyone pitched in to roll up the mats, and put them away in storage for the winter. The club owns a trailer to transport and store the mats. Everyone appreciated the assistance of Sean and Kyle Bryan, who pitched in to help the club with the heavier work.
Delicious hot pizza and wine was served, followed by cake. Laughter and hugs filled the clubhouse as members departed for the winter season.

When the Ontario Shuffleboard Association President Rendal Bilton declared Coldwater to be the Shuffleboard Capital of Ontario he was never more correct in his declaration.
Coldwater has been a hot bed of activity for shuffleboard since the Club began several years ago and each and every year Coldwater attracts players to there tournaments from several locations in the USA and all across Canada.
Coldwater have a great place for parking motor homes / fifth wheel trailers and RV’s of all sizes.
The parking is free and you are always invited to come early and stay late. The Township of Severn and the village of Coldwater want you to feel welcome during your stay.
There are several great attractions in the immediate area such as the marine railway located at the Big Chute , or the old historic mill in the village, and of course this year there will be a banquet at the CNSA tournament, so reserve your spot early.
The Coldwater Club players who assembled for this group photo were taking part in the annual fun day and BBQ hosted by the Club. Games of Hoss Collar were played and generous cash prizes awarded at the end of the day.
Many of the players in the photo were already making plans for their up coming winter in the south .
Some will be going to Panama City while others will be in places such as Zephyrhills ,Clearwater , Frostproof, Dunedin, Bradenton , Lakeland , and where ever it is that great shufflers gather . So if you should happen to run across one of these fine people tell them George said Hi.
Coldwater is probably one of the very few, if not the only Club to have a shuffleboard program for the Special needs players. This year there were close to twenty special needs players taking part every Tue am.
The Club held a pizza party on their final day of the season and President George gave each and every player a large trophy with their name engraved on it.

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!

Sincere thanks to OSA secretary Maureen Bryan, the OSA Board
Members and committees for making my job easy. I appreciate their

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

St.Marys Shuffleboard Club.

Peter Berg’s induction into the OSA Hall Of Fame, Player Category could not have been more deserved. He and shuffleboard partner (and life partner) Erica, are always a considerable force in any tournament they enter. Therefore, we were not surprised when Peter achieved the 35 player-point total last year. Congratulations and well done Peter!.
