Coinpetitors enjoy tourney
Sheldon Wein, organizer of the crokinole tournament at Gordies Beach Club in Grand Bend
on the weekend, takes his best shot in a game Saturday aftemoon. Wein and his team-
mates did well in much of the tournament play. The tournament was hoped to help rejuve-
nate the board game as a competitve sport in the area.
GRAND BEND - The organizer
of a series of crokinole tourna-
ments said he will have to recon-
sider the viability of the events af-
ter a tournament on the weekend
failed to attract participants from
the immediate area.
Sheldon Wein, who organized
the tournament in the hope it
could rekindle a local interest in
the board game, said he was
pleased that many competitors
braved the slippery weather to at-
tend from as far away as London,
St. Jacobs, Goderich, Fergus, and
Watford. But of the nearly 30 par-
ticipants. only a couple were from
Grand Bend and none from Exet-
er.
"Who knows?" said Wein
when asked if -he would be orga-
nizing future tournaments. "It
doesn't look like we can make it
a financial success."
Competition wise, however,
Wein said he still likes to think
the event was successful.
The tournament, held at Gor-
dies Beach Club, also featured a
display of antique crokinole
boards provided by local aficio-
nado Wayne Kelly. Some
boards were a century old.
Winners on Saturday afternoon
was the team of Earl Paulen of
Mitchell and Sheldon Wein. In
second were Cathy and Jack
Baker of Fergus, with Earl Flax -
bard and Ciwen McKellar of Zu-
rich in third.
Wein and Paulen won again
Saturday evening, with Marg and
Ivan McClymont of Varna in set -
ond, and the team of Cathy Baker
and Ina Neeb of Zurich taking
third.
Sunday afternoon winners were
Jack Baker and Ina Neeb, with
Wein and Gord Bryan in second
and Paulen and Ivan McClymont
in third.
High centres for the tournament
were recorded by Jack Baker on
Saturday and Sunday aftemoons,
and Wein on Saturday evening.
Winner of the 50/50 draw was
011ie Johnston of Wyoming.
