Well We Tried! Everyone showed up on Friday, to try to register for this tournament. We had donuts, coffee and cookies as well as cards while we waited for the rain to stop. Several times we thought we might make it, cleaned the courts and then it started raining again. Took some time for lunch and socializing and finally cancelled registration and returned everyone’s entry fee. Hope to see you all back again for ND10 on November 30th for Pro Only Doubles and Amateur Only Doubles.

Unfortunately we have rain once again so the ND09 Any Doubles tournament to be held at the Coronado/Mainland Courts on Nov 16 will be delayed One Day to Nov 17 Friday. Registration on Friday no later than 8:30 am. See you there.

Leesburg Shuffleboard Club hosted the ND06 Men’s Doubles and Ladies Doubles Tournament on Nov 2nd and 3rd, 2023. This year was a special occasion as the Tournament was named the Bob Brandt Memorial Tournament. Bob’s wife together with friends, Dave Dean and Yvonne Alberg generously sponsored the tournament with prize money and a plaque. Bob passed away three years ago but the family was pleased to see so many shufflers come to remember his name with the family. There was a quilt raffle and plenty of good treats to go with the coffee. The Director was Bob Robinson.

We a special picture with all the shufflers and one with the 90 years and over shufflers. The two days were very enjoyable and the weather was somewhat interesting with cold, wind, sun and clouds with a mixture of sprinkles.
