Bruce Beach History -- The McCosh Family

Bruce Beach History -- The McCosh Family

Donald Whyte’s 1986 A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to Canada before Confederation, records the McCoshes coming from Ayrshire, Scotland where William McCosh married Elizabeth Strathom who gave birth to Alexander, on August 29, 1806. Alexander’s first wife was Elizabeth Gemmel and they had five children. Their first was William and their second was our Robert W. McCosh Sr., born Feb. 19, 1832. Their last child, Alexander “Sandy” G. was born in 1839 and that same year, his mother died. Still in Scotland, Alexander Sr. remarried Margaret Brown. Alexander Sr. was a Justice of the Peace in Scotland and William was a miner.

Tennis courts repaving -2011 June 24

Also in June, 2011, the SBBCA tennis court will be repaved.

Controlled Cutting of Blandford Woods in South Bruce Beach

I have just been informed that a controlled cutting of Blandford Woods, the managed forest owned jointly by the members of the South Bruce Beach Cottage Association, will begin mid-day tomorrow, Thursday. The harvesting of 25-30% of the pine plantation will be a short term inconvenience for those used to enjoying the walking trails of this forest preserve. After some 35 years of growth, Blandford Woods is in need of some management practices for the long term health and sustainability of this naturalized area.

This controlled cutting will be conducted by the professionals from The Moggie Valley Timber Company under the supervision of the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority. Please consider the trails, forest and tennis court in this area to be off limits for the next 2-3 days as it will involve heavy equipment and dangerous conditions for all but the experts.

For all those that are curious or in need of some entertainment, the procedure should be best viewed from well back on the road.

Need Bruce Beach Youth Baseball Coordinator and Weekly Volunteer Coaches

To Bruce Beachers,

When I first took on organizing Youth Baseball for Bruce Beach for the 12 years old and under I had two young children. Well, those two young children are now 23 and 19 years old and it is time I turn over the reins of Youth Baseball to a new coordinator. I will be assisting getting in getting Youth Baseball started this summer but this will be my last task with baseball. I would like to turn over Youth Baseball to a new coordinator(s) in the June time frame. If you are interested in coordinating Youth Baseball please send me an email at tiernanfam@aol.com and I will help you get started.

This is the twenty second year morning baseball is available for all those Bruce Beach kids (12 & under) who enjoy baseball and want to make new friends or catch up with old friends. The baseball facilities at the North end have guaranteed a fun time for all.
