Another Quick Note: If you are like me and have all of your Tournament pins saved in a draw and you won’t ever wear them, would you like to donate them back to the Northern District. Keep at least one of each pin as a keepsake, but I had three Masters Pins I donated back to the club. Should you have some pins, please let me or one of the directors know. Thanks so much for your attention to this request.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the cancellation of the ND02 Any Doubles Tournament in Coronado/Mainland, it has been RESCHEDULED TO BE PLAYED ON DEC 19TH. Everything will remain the same. It will still be a doubles tournament. Chris Inga will be our Director.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the State Amateur Tournament A05 FSA Singles 16 Frame/75 pts having been scheduled for Nov 11, the ND07 Any Amateur Draw, November 11 Tournament scheduled for Tavares has been POST PONED.
