The Citizen, 2008-01-10, Page 17THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 2008. PAGE 17. At the BranchQuiet week at LegionBy Jo-Ann McDonaldIt has been a slow week at theBrussels Legion Branch with allholiday activities over, yet holidays not. The Cadets resumed meeting the Tuesday after school began and are back into routine. The holidays saw families get- together and that means extra pop cans/bottles around. Think of the Cadets and drop off any returnable bottles and your pop cans behind the Legion on Tuesday evenings for the fundraising efforts. The Brussels Pipe Band members, along with friends from the Listowel Pipe Band, are busy practising and organizing their Robbie Burns dance for Jan. 26. Along with the dance and the terrific music of the Georgian Bay Islands, the pipe bands put on a show of their own with the wonderful music of Scotland. For all those people out there who like to dance and love to hear thesound of the pipes, the Legion’s theplace to be that night.The Thursday night dart league had 11 players out to take aim at the boards. The first-place team for the evening was Gord Jacklin, Marlene Little and Devon Josling. The second-place team was John Harrison and Lawrence Machan. The high starters during the night were Marlene shooting 102 and Gord shooting 124. The Friday night supper was salisbury steak. This week is turkey deluxe. The Zone double darts was held on Saturday and there were five teams off to Exeter. Coming home for the second year in a row with the first-place trophy were Ron Schmidt and Eric Ross. Congrats. Also placing in the top eight were Bob Richardson and Norm Wylie in fourth place. There were three other teams darting for the Brussels Legion thatday. Having a good time were JohnHarrison and Lawrence Machan, Andy Adams, Ken Bird and Anita and Sarah Little. Newsletters have been sent out and hopefully all comrades have received them.

The Branch will host an Honours and Awards evening on Friday, Jan. 25 and we hope many of our Comrades will attend. A winning strategy Ordering a third period pizza didn’t slow down the 94.5 The Bull Try Hards who squeaked out a victory last Friday, their first- ever, against an all-star Wingham Ironmen alumni team. The Try Hards had fun with the game, one of the main attractions for North Huron Hockey Days, ordering pizza to their bench and replacing their goalie with a pylon.
