Meeting Minutes July 21st 2026 @ 7pm Legion For Tuesday Night Mixed Eight Ball League

NOTE: Minutes are to reflect what happened at a meeting. Since the AGM a few things have changed which we felt were important to note at the end of the minutes.

Two new teams were welcomed to the League giving the league 24 teams now.

Vote was held for Executive with the following being voted or by acclamation in:

*President – Arsene (Bone) Veronneau

*Vice President – Amanda Sly

*Secretary – no volunteers Lynn Macintyre to continue

*Executive Member – Jim Nairn

*Statistician – Darcy Mitton

*Treasurer – Lynn Macintyre

Financials for 2025-2026 were presented:

*Income – $31,056.76

*Expenses – $24,449.18

*Net Income – $ 6,607.58

Rule changes were addressed that were tabled at the last captains meeting with one

change being voted in:

If your team has 5 players and is not a mixed gender then you lose 6 points. If you

have 5 players and your team is a mixed gender then you lose 1 point. The 5

players can rotate and the last game is a forfeit. This must be the exception not a

weekly event.

Two teams will be moving out of Overtime to RAXX being Overly Cueless and

Pocket Pool as Overtime has taken out two tables leaving 4 teams at Overtime.

Two new teams will be at K&R.

All other teams remain unchanged.

Clarifications of shooting the 8 ball were discussed. Additional rule passed. If you

are shooting the 8 ball and you miss the 8 ball, it is a loss of game. Please see league

website for other rules.

Vote for new fee of $10.00 per player and $60.00 per team per night was passed.

This increase was needed as RAXX is now charging us a green fee per night and

additional revenue is required.

Vote to have a luncheon again at the end of the season was passed.

General Information:

League dates will be – September 8 th to December 15 th

– January 5 th to February 23rd

– Playoffs March 9 th to April 20 th

– Year end lunch and tournament May 8th

As there are now 12 teams out of RAXX your games can start anytime after 6:00.

All games are to be finished by 10:00 at RAXX no exceptions. Jumping on a third

table right away is fine.

New league books will be distributed the first night of play.

Before the start of the season the website will be updated with changes.

NOTES since AGM:

Tammy Scouten has volunteered to be the league Secretary and posts to facebook.

One of the new teams did not end up being formed, Rack and Roll is not

fielding a team this year so 10 teams out of RAXX not 12 teams.

This leaves the league with 22 teams.

Overly Cueless is moving to K&R

Pocket Pool is moving to RAXX

Playoff Division Champions 2026

2026 playoff champs

Congratulations to Our Division Champions! 

🏆 Division A: Ball Breakers
🏆 Division B: Overly Cueless
🏆 Division C: Rack and Roll

Well played all around—great skill, great competition, and well-earned victories!

We also want to congratulate each of our 22 teams for making this such a fun year of pool. The league gets its unique charm from the diversity of our players, and it wouldn’t be the same without every one of you bringing your best each week.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at the Year-End Tournament on May 9th! Details can be found here.

YEAR END TOURNAMENT – MAY 9TH, 2026

year-end-party

This year, on May 9th, RAXX will open its doors at 11:30, with registration beginning at that time. A buffet lunch of ribs, wings, sides, and dessert will be served from 12:15 to 1:30. During lunch, door prizes and trophies will be awarded. Out of courtesy, we ask that everyone refrain from playing pool during this time.

At 1:30, the round-robin pool tournament will begin with assigned tables and teams.

There is an entrance fee of $7.00 for anyone who wishes to play in the tournament. If you are not playing, there is no fee—pool league members are welcome to attend and enjoy the lunch, prizes, and trophy presentation.

NOTE: If you cannot attend the year-end party and have played more than 6 games this year, please give your name to your captain or Bone. Your name will be entered into the prize draw.

As in the past, there will be an alcohol draw and a 50/50 draw. Tickets will be sold during the tournament:

1 ticket for $2.00
3 tickets for $5.00
10 tickets for $10.00
30 tickets for $20.00

A non-perishable food donation box will be available at the main entrance. Cash donations are also welcome. All donations will go to the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Kingston.

Points voted on:

Money collected at the year end tournament was voted to be donated to Dave Tessier all in favour. This would include 50/50 draw and entrance fees.

Year end lunch was discussed for the tournament at Raxx. Vote was carried to have a lunch paid for from the league funds. This is a way of giving back to Raxx as a venue. They do not charge us all year for playing on their tables. Without Raxx we would not have a league venue to play.

Doug Alberry

It is with deepest regret that we share this post concerning the passing of Doug Alberry.
Our thoughts go out to his partner, Evelyn, and all of his family and friends. Doug was a member of the Blind Squirrels team. He was admired and respected by all of his teammates and every opponent he faced. He suffered from a spinal injury which necessitated the use of a walker, which did hamper his ability but never his love or enthusiasm for the game. He will be deeply missed and always remembered with fondness in our hearts.

In Our Thoughts

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the recent passing of two of our league members who will be greatly missed.

Doug Alberry, a member of the Blind Squirrels, passed a few weeks ago, and if we receive more details, they will be published. His funeral has already taken place.

Stephen Gregory Smith, Greg, was a member of the Chalk & Awe team. He was a member of our Legion and a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces. Greg passed away Saturday afternoon, January 31st, 2026.

He was a great member of our Legion and will be missed by the members of this Legion, but also 631 where he played pool. He will be greatly missed by the euchre players on Friday night. He was a fun player and will be missed.

We would like to pass on our condolences to Lynda and her family from the members of the Executive of our branch. Our thoughts and prayers are with Lynda and the family at this time.

His funeral will be this Friday, February 6th, at St. Linus Church in Bath at 12:00 noon, followed by a luncheon at the Bath Legion at 1:00.

Please say some extra prayers for him and their son and all of us who loved him.
