Shuffleboard Club announces Saturday morning open play
With the new fall season well underway, many shuffleboard players want to practice more than anticipated. Because the refurbished courts react differently than before, extra practice seems advisable. Therefore, beginning Oct. 7, for the month of October, the Courts Building will open on Saturdays from 10 a.m.-noon. Monday and Wednesday open play will continue from 9-11 a.m.
The general membership business meeting will be held Thursday, Oct. 12, at Clubhouse 1 from 9:45-11 a.m. The primary agenda items will be to hear responses regarding the start of league play and to announce dates for future fall special events. All club members are invited to attend.
