Placing balls on table after game
This is a reminder, that after each game both players are to put balls back on the table for the next game.
This is a courtesy to the players playing the following game. Please respect that.
Money owing
This is a reminder that all captains should be paid up to date by the last Tuesday of each month.
This is the Captains responsibility and must be remitted on schedule .
Captains collect money every week and must be relied on to forward it to treasurers . If team falls in arrears the team as a whole will be notified of situation and collectively they can appoint a dependable member to collect money . This is in the rules where if a team falls in arrears to much the captain can be kicked out of the league.
If there are arrears it will be deducted from team payout at end of year . The money collected each week belongs to the league and players.
Pool Payments
Attention all captains.
Below is on who you will give your money to for pool. Remember each team is required to collect $30 from your team. If you have more then 6 players then you still need $30.
Overtime
Anyone that is based out of Overtime will give their money to Rob.
Raxx
Anyone that is based out of Raxx will send their money to Jackie (snowingkisses@outlook.com)
The Social, Legion 631 & Jimmy’s
Anyone that is based out of these establishments will send their money to Mick (mjcorrigan@hotmail.com)
All payments must be made by December 12th for this part of the season.
Concerns about new venue
Fellow players.
2 concerns were raised to me about The Social as a venue for our league.
1 was the lighting.
I agree the lighting is not the best however after our meeting Shawn and I stayed for a while and noted that after being there from the duration of the meeting the lighting was not that bad. Also it would not make for good future relationship if we were to drop The Social as they have been very accommodating.
2, Possible problem with players gambling while playing pool.
Note that it is a pool night and captains and players are not there to chase people when it is their turn to play. If a player’s turn comes up and that player is occupied on a slot machine, it will be an automatic loss of game if they do not leave the machine immediately. We will not skip to the next player as we often do for someone who is out enjoying a cigarette as we know these people will be back at the table upon completion unlike perhaps someone that has invested money in a machine.
League wide meeting for elections and rule changes
There is a league wide meeting that will be held on August 13th at Collins Bay Legion at 6:30pm.
This will be for voting in a new executive and discuss rule changes.
This meeting is for everyone.
A few notes and a thanks
Hey everyone.
Just wanted to say thanks for a fun year and a fun year end tournament. I heard back from the Food Bank and we donated a total of $305 dollars and they haven’t picked up the bin. The last time they saw the bin it was almost full on Saturday. That is over 120lbs of food. I’d like to say Thank you to all that donated as there are many families and individuals in need and that will help them greatly.
As it was mentioned at the Year End Tournament, any rule changes or nominations you want to make can be submitted through the website and they will be brought up to the league meeting in August.
All teams returning or new must be submitted with confirmation by August 1st.
Lastly I’d like to post a note that Jackie had sent in through the website.
I want to thank Sarah and Shawn Fournier for going above and beyond to make our end of the year tournament a success, Lisa Holler for being our league Shopper and seeking donation basket .Sarah and Shannon Godfrey for donation for raffle .Rob for his help in communication .The many others who offered their assistance You are amazing .With the unexpected death of our beloved president Bill Watson this event could have not happened without a lot of help .Thank you all so much . Moving forward we will need an executive with heart and soul so think what is best for league .Have a safe and happy summer.

Year End Tournament
Good afternoon everyone.
The season is almost done for us. The year end tournament is this coming Saturday.
Doors will open up at 12pm and registration will start at 12:15.
There will be a bin from the Food Bank and we are accepting non perishable items.
We will also have a bin from the Food Bank where you can put money in and the bins will have a QR Code on them where you can send money from your phone as well.
There will also be a donation bin for the Accessible Playground in memory of Bill Watson.
Please make sure your players are there on time as when we announce registration is closing we will not accept anymore players.
Cost will be $5 a person and they will be Scotch Doubles Blind Draw.
Also when you register, you will need to give your first and last name.
If you are registering for someone else they need to be right beside you.
If they are not beside you then we do not register them.
Registration will close around 1pm depending on numbers.
After that we will hold the Trophy Presentations, and team money followed by the door prizes.
Only the Captain is able to pick up the money for each team.
If the team Captain cannot be there we need the Captain to reach out to us and give us authorization to give the money to a specific person. If we do not receive that and the Captain is not there they will not get their money that day. We will meet up with the Captain at a later date.
All teams will get $600 to split between how ever many players you have on your team.
Once the money leaves our hands, we are not responsible on what the captain does.
If there are teams that are still owing money it will be deducted from the amount that you would get at the end of the season.
Once door prizes are done we will then go into Nominations where we will hand out paper to everyone and they can fill out who they nominate. Remember if you nominate someone you need to make sure they are aware and want to run.
The elections will be run in August.
After that we will go over any Rule Changes that people would like to bring up.
Once we go over the Rule Changes we will be making the teams and assigning people to run each section.
Also there will be a 50/50 draw going on as well as a Booze Draw.
There will be a picture of the booze going around with tickets as well to see what can be won.
The cost of tickets for the 50/50 and Booze Draw are:
