Ontario Shuffleboard News and Information

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!

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.

The following was kindly sent in from John Mickle. Thank you so much – it is a great story. You must love shuffleboard the way we do! – Bill Boyes (shuffleboardbill)

From: J and B Mickle

Hello Bill: I am responding to your recent e-mail in which you requested information from Ontario shuffleboard clubs.

Shuffleboard was not totally new to the Ancaster Seniors’ Achievement Centre in Ancaster. It had been tried once, several years ago, but unfortunately ran its course. However, the courts which were incorporated in vinyl flooring in the main auditorium of the centre remained intact. (Ancaster has a population of about 20,000 and is located just outside of Hamilton)

I noticed the courts during a visit in April of 2014 and spoke to those in charge about resurrecting the game/sport. It was a bit of a struggle as we had no budget. However, cues were found and thanks to Rendall and Myrna Bilton of Elora and Ernie Thomas of Niagara Falls, discs were donated. The St. Mary’s Club also donated discs but they were unsuited to our floor. Yours truly repaired old, home made score boards which were found in a storage bin outside of the Seniors’ Centre and experimented with beads, wax and corn meal to find the right beading compound.

In late June, 2014 we opened for business (Thursdays from 1 to 3 p.m.) and to state we got off to a slow start would be an understatement. However, we persevered and eventually attracted some interested shufflers. At the moment we have 15 seniors who have come out. We only have 3 courts so we are not looking for huge numbers but a few more players would be nice. We took a photo of some of our players on Thurs. June 18 when only 7 players showed up. We usually attract a few more every Thursday. Members of the Seniors’ Centre are charged $1 each time they play.

It is fun, our courts are fast and we seem to enjoy each others company. Plus, play has really improved! If we can get our numbers up, we will be trying "Black & Gold", "Singles-Mingles" and "Hoss Collar" games from time to time.

As stated, it has been a struggle but in my opinion, well worth the effort! Cheers -John Mickle

We are please to add information about the Moidland SHuffleboard Club to the OSA website, Clubs page, as follows.

Forwarded from Peter MacLeod –
Midland Shuffleboard Club
We play outdoors on 4 courts which we had resurfaced and painted last year. We play Monday, Wednesday and Friday starting at 1:00 p.m. and finishing at approx. 3:00 p.m. averaging 3 games in that time period. I think that we had approx. 20 to 25 members last year. It is a fun, non-competitive group and we didn’t have any tournaments. Men and women play together and each game has the players pick their spots randomly.

Hoping for another successful season, which will end on September 24th.

Almost every shuffleboard club could use a few more members!  Club events are a great attraction, both to members and potential members. If you don’t have anything planned, then have a “FREE SHUFFLEBOARD” day, and advertize it in the local paper, bulletin boards at the mall, etc, etc! If you have any events planned over this season, let EVERYONE know! That includes us here at the OSA! We will put it onto our web site. You may even get some out-of-town visitors that way!

Please send your announcements and schedule to shuffleboardbill@gmail.com. Good things may happen!

I would like to thank Gary Pipher for delivering the OSA Trailer to Woodstock. It is a long drive from Coldwater, and we really appreciate him and Barb for making the long trip.
Gary gave me a tour of the trailer and showed me how and where everything belongs.
We thank you very much Gary for all you do and have done for shuffleboard.
Thanks Jim.
P.S. I hope who ever is looking after this trailer in the future takes as much care as Gary has.

Editor’s Note: Picture above was taken at the Goderich tournament in 2014, where the trailer was on display. That must have been the first road trip for this extremely useful and attractive asset.
