Club mentors fast-start training for newcomers

SHUFFLEBOARD CLUB

Only four additional days are available for the Shuffleboard Club’s fast-start training to learn the basics of shuffleboard before the shuffleboard building closes for most of July for repair work on the courts. Until then, all Leisure World residents are welcome Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9-11. All needed equipment is provided. Closed-toe shoes are required.

For more information about the summer schedule, call or text Kay Mount at 775-527-0426.

The club invites all present and past members to join them for a potluck on Wednesday, July 5, at 5 p.m. at the Courts Building and the Clubhouse 1 outdoor tables. The courts repair work is scheduled to begin July 10 and should be completed by the end of July.

Throughout the last year there have been many milestones for the Shuffleboard Club. The most unfortunate one is Red Ryals’ passing on June 10, who worked tirelessly for the club, usually in silent ways. For many years Ryals kept all equipment in working order, and often did the set-ups for weekly tournaments and special events. Even after 20 years in the club, he was supportive at every turn with changes in practices and scheduling. Generous and patient, he’ll be sorely missed by many.
