Paddy Walker House museum objects request
Submitted by Frances Stewart on March 3, 2010 - 4:56pm
The Bruce Beach Association was approached by Rick Clarke, Administrator of Walker House, for assistance with a display on the first tourists/cottagers in the region. The executive was in favour of doing this and Keith MacDonald emailed me to see if I could spearhead our participation. I enthusiastically agreed.
After several emails back and forth, Gail and I met with Rick in Walker House this past Sunday. He explained his plans for a general beaches exhibit on the ground floor with maps showing the lake shore and our lots. He plans to provide a place for people to write any memories connected with coming to the area each summer. As well, he showed us as a separate room on the second floor for a Bruce Beach only exhibit.… continue reading »

Family Hockey
Submitted by beachcomber on December 3, 2007 - 9:10pm
Dave Brisbin here.
I've contacted the Ripley Arena/Mike Fair, who advises me that there are several time slots available for rental if cottagers are interested in a 'friendly, family hockey game'. My idea is to use a tennis ball rather than a puck, to cut down on injuries and reduce the amount of equipment required. Mike indicated that the arena has no equipment stipulations but I would recommend players bring helmets and elbow pads. I'm looking for wives, partners and kids who are interested. Would you kindly advise me by return email which date is your first and second choice. I will then forward an email back to you with the date preferred by most, if we have enough to make it worthwhile. Cost is $105.00 including GST. So far, the following times are available, so the sooner you can indicate your preference, the sooner I can book and reserve a time. Even if someone can't skate, we can always use goalies to stand between the pipes in a pair of boots!… continue reading »
