Tennis

Bruce Beachers, 
  
Due to a last minute change of schedules, we need volunteers to lead the Junior Baseball for the last two weeks of the summer - starting TOMORROW!! 

Even if you can only help out for a couple of days during the week that is OK.  We will patch together full weeks with multiple people if required.  .  

The activity takes place from 9.30 am to 10.30 am Monday through Friday every week during July and August.  The ball diamond is located next to the Cameron Grove tennis courts behind Cottage 125.  To join in and play, come any day of the week before 9.30 am and bring a glove. 
  
To volunteer for coaching for a week contact me at one of the following numbers or emails:

Cottage:        519-395-3660 
Cell:              905-867-2643

Again, thank you for those who have already volunteered this year and in the past few years.  

Thanks, 
David 

This year we are celebrating 20 years of our tennis lessons on Bruce Beach. We would like to invite all our past and current “ students” to join us on Saturday at the annual barbeque, for a group picture. If you could be available around 5:30 PM, we can get a picture before the food hits the table.

Looking forward to seeing all of you on Saturday!

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.

The final results are as follows...

4th place ...... Charlene Scime/ Charles Hughes

3rd Place......  Diane Gregoris/ Cam Spooner

2nd Place.....  Donna Tiernan/ Steve Merker

1st Place (with bragging rights until next summer)...   BETSY JOHNSTON / BRENT STIEF

The big winner is our Bruce Beach Tennis Club which through your generosity received $ 1,320.00 which will go towards new benches (already in place) and other future upgrades.

We would like to thank all the players for their generosity and support of our inaugural Bruce Beach Mixed Doubles Tennis Tournament, now known as the 5th Major. Thanks again to all of you for making it a huge success.

We are already looking forward to next year’s tournament. Stay tuned for future announcements.

See you on the courts!!

As you can see we have quite a few weeks yet to cover.  I have been contacted by folks who were not sure when they would be at the Beach for their holidays but if you can commit to helping out for a week that would be great. 

Please contact me at the phone numbers or emails listed below.

Created, constructed and stocked by Bob Cunningham (109) and Barry McPherson(122), the FIRST Bruce Beach Library opens this weekend. Another “first” for the North! Will “Lower” or “Middle” Bruce Beach follow suit?

Modelled on the Little Free Library program found in many neighbourhoods in Canada and the United States (see, www.littlefreelibrary.org), this Library is located beside the tennis courts at Cameron Grove so that it is accessible to our Junior Baseball players and their fans.

The Library has 2 shelves—an upper shelf for adult books; and a lower shelf with books for children and teenagers.

The principle of a Little Free Library is that you “Take A Book; Leave A Book”.  It is not a drop off zone for every old book you find in your cottage! Please take these elsewhere (e.g, to Condor books in Kincardine or the Kincardine Library Book Sale on Saturday, June 27th).

All Bruce Beach owners, relatives and guests are encouraged to leave a book that you think others would enjoy reading; and to take a book from the shelf that is of interest to you. And, to encourage and facilitate more reading by your children and grandchildren over the summer, please introduce them to the Library and ask them to leave books that others of their age would enjoy.
