Ron and George play a lot of shu- fleboard together when they winter In Florida. (see story for detalls) 'Doubles victory for Geo. Every winter when George Skerratt heads for Florida, one of his Favoniie Jass-tiss ja ls Jing south is playing shuffle- In fact, among people of ' George's age group (he'll be 75 in . February) shuffleboard is a tre- mendously popular sport. Well, it's getting very popular in Canada, too, much to George's delight. He's now able to compete in tournaments year round. A couple of weeks ago, George and his partner Ron Thomas, who lives in Quebec and winters in the same area of Florida as George, entered the Ontario Shuffleboard Association Amateur Doubles tournament held in a hockey arena in the town of Wal- den, just outside Sudbury. nd after 13 matches, they emerged as the winners. "There's some luck involved, but you have to pretty lucky as well," he told the Star last week. George and Ron won the championship game in sudden death by a score of 29-11. "We took an early lead, then just kept knocking them off, didn't give them anything to shoot for," he said.

Slearrort A game is ten rounds, or the first team to reach 75 points. There were 175 entrants in the tournament, and for their winning efforts George and Ron have their names inscribed on a handsome trophy, plus were given unique "keeper trophics" made from the metals found in the Sudbury area. Naturally, George and Ron will be back next year to defend their championship, and these is a possibility the event may be held in Lindsay. George says that while most people who play shuffleboard are over 55 years of age," it can be enjoyed by those of all ages. He is interested in starting a shuffle- board club here in Port Perry with six concrete courts to start. He's now in the process of seeing if their is any government assistance for such a start-up. And he welcomes anyone who would like to join him in trying to get the club off the ground to give him a call at 985-9485. I A ld ME A.
