In spite of a short rain delay, the spirit and enthusiasm of the 16 teams in the competition was not dampened. The skilled play of our teams brought many oohs and ahhs from the crowd of beachers who came down to be part of the fun and action. The tournament closed with an exciting final that had people on the edge of their lawn chairs and benches.

Rays from Heaven

This picture was taken last Monday morning by Heather Currie of 124, picture of the kids playing baseball at the cottage this morning. We agreed that the rays of sunshine are Bruce Beach cottagers who've passed, smiling down at the ongoing traditions.

To entice some "northenders" there is a copy of Baseball for Dummies!!
Don't worry it's mostly pictures...

If you could pass this along to the masses it would be appreciated.

We are in the final stages of planning the 2015 BBGC Fundraiser Golf Tournament to be held next Saturday July 25th.
 
The format is a scramble ( where each of the foursome hits the best shot of the group ) and there is one score for the team.  Golf is at Ainsdale starting with a shotgun start at 1:00pm with a BBQ at the BBGC Clubhouse following.
 
We still have space and actually would like to have a few additional golfers to complete the foursomes and we also have room for additional foursomes
 
So it you were thinking of playing and forgot, or if you thought it is a high pressure event ( it is not ), please call of email me if you would like to join us.  Spots will be first come first serve and we will attempt to have complete foursomes.



We are still looking for more volunteers for Junior Baseball.  Summer is here and we have three weeks that still require a volunteer to help out.  The weeks we need a volunteer are: 

July 20 - 24th - NEXT WEEK 
Aug 24 - 28th 
Aug 31st - Sept 3rd 

Please contact me at the phone numbers or emails listed below if you are able to help out.

Year of Birth

John Vickers Jon Vickers (Cottage 41) Jonathan Stewart Vickers was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, on October 29 1926, the sixth of eight children, to a family that was musical but poor. So impoverished were his parents that at one time the future Canadian prime minister, John Diefenbaker, a long-standing friend of the family, offered to care for young Jon. As a child he and his siblings sang with his lay-preacher father, a former teacher, at churches near their home. Summers were spent labouring on a neighbour’s farm, where he developed his barrel chest.
