Week of May 22 to May 28

Waldo Chuckles

Waldo Chuckles    has gone missing & we need your help to find him! He has also developed a (??more??) split personality that means he thinks there are 3 of him! (This post & the trophy picture DO NOT count!!)

 Your job is to find him and tell us where he is. All entrants with correct answers will be entered into a draw for a valuable (& tasty) prize. Find 1 Chuckles you get 1 entry, find 2 and you get 3! Find all 3 and you get 6 entries. Please be specific on your answers; minimum what page he is on and where he is on that page.

Entries are to be done using the Contact form which can be found on the Contact page and will be accepted until Thur. June 1st with the draw on Friday after the draw.

Club Fundraiser – Thrifty Smile Cards

Jack and Jill Tournament

Just a reminder that the Jack and Jill tournament is being held on the 19th and 20th of July. For this tournament Jill (the lady) invites Jack (a man) to be her partner. Please only one designated skip per team and not the same partner as last year. So Jills, get out there and invite your Jack before they are all taken. For more information Kathleen Motley, Games Director.

Measuring Clinic – May 26, 2023 @ 9:30

Martin Fereday, our head umpire, will be holding a measuring clinic for this year’s novices. All novices from this year and any from last year who did not participate in a measuring clinic are encouraged to attend. Knowing how and what to measure is an important part of the game. The duty does fall to thirds but every now and again you may be playing in a position that requires you to know how. It is also one of the skills you must know before moving up to the next position. See you Friday. Some coaching for those who need help with line, weight and delivery will also be available.

A new Member Directory is in the process of being prepared. There is a printed list on the table in the draw room, titled FULL MEMBERS 2023. The social members are listed separately on the last page. Please take a minute to check that your contact information is correct. The final version of the Member Directory is only produced once a year and we would like to ensure all information is accurate and up to date. If there are any errors or revisions, please Kathleen Arthone ASAP.

Updated Prices for Beverages (Pop)

In line with the latest rise in Bar prices, the only change for drinks from the fridge and freezer, as from last week is cans of Ginger Ale, etc.  are now $2.00 each. The other items such as water, Drumsticks and assorted chips remain the same.

Hot Dog Time – June 9, 2023

After the $1.00 draw on Friday, June 9th, Hot Dogs will be on sale for $5.00 (same price as a beer!!). This is the first time we are trying this out and will view the popularity with a chance of a re – run every second week.

The sign-up sheet will be posted in the sun room early this Tuesday and last day to sign up will be Monday, June 12th. The cost will be $9.00 per person, paid when you arrive . It is the policy that if you sign up and fail to appear, you are expected to pay for your order, IF 24 hours prior notice of cancelling is not received by me. There is a place on the sheet for members who wish to eat but not play to sign up as well as a place for members who wish to play but not join in on the meal. Hope to see you there!
