We are excited to announce an in-house, fun tournament scheduled for Sunday, November 30th, starting at 10:00 AM. This event is designed for members who are looking to enjoy some friendly competition and have a great time together.
Due to limited court availability, participation will be capped at 12 players. The tournament will take place on our single court, ensuring everyone gets a chance to play and enjoy the day.
If you are interested in participating, please sign up on the sheet posted on the notice board in the main hall. Spots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so please add your name early.
We look forward to seeing you all on the court for a day of fun and sportsmanship!

P.S. The second time slot for Pickleball on Mondays is from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm, not 3:30 as indicated earlier. Thank you.

COMMUNITY EVENTS
I have someone dropping changes to me regarding our Community Events page of the Springwater News. Thank you! However, I have changed the information for the last few edits. Yes, there was a mail strike for a while; however, we did receive our paper from October 23rd without the changes I requested.
I wrote Linda at Springwater News.
I have made these corrections. I have been getting your submissions.
Linda Belcourt
I want to let you know that I am not being remiss in updating the paper and will meet with her next week to see what’s going on. Our Bingo and Mini Putt are still in the paper, and our new activities are not.

Adopt a Family for Christmas
Christmas is Fast Approaching
And we have some Exciting News!
This year, we have decided to adopt a Family for Christmas through the Salvation Army. What a wonderful feeling to help out a local family and bring joy and happiness for the holiday season.
Our family has four children – a six-month-old girl, a two-year-old girl, a five-year-old girl, and a six-year-old boy.
We have set up a table in the lounge where a wish list is posted. It lets you know what each child is dreaming of. A drop-off bin is under the table. Please, no electronics or clothing and do not wrap your gifts.
Additionally, if you prefer, you can make a cash donation, which will be used to purchase items that help fill the wish lists. Cash donations must be received by November 18, 2025 and gifts by November 28, 2025.
Bay Shore lets help a child’s dreams come true. Donations of wrapping paper, bags and tags are also appreciated.

October Events
Volunteer Appreciation – Oct 18th;
Volunteer of the Year
C-elebration of Life – Reg & Donna Dollimore – Oct 25
October has undoubtedly been a busy month at Bay Shore.
Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon
It was a great afternoon, with Mandy Meisner, bringing back the “British Invasion”. Definitely dance music! Please bring her back—I hear from members. Nica’s finger food was delicious, as usual. And of course, all the little extras Lynn brings to the table to bring it all together.
Volunteer of the Year
And, our Volunteer of the Year, 2025 goes to: Judy Cabell!! She brightens up every room and jumps into action. Participates in Bid Euchre, Shuffleboard, and Darts, which is her passion. When chairs are to be moved, or we need set-up for an event, you know you can count on her. She has volunteered on the Sub-committee of the Constitution, and now the By-Law, and she faithfully keeps our General Meetings fueled with tea, coffee, and snacks. With her calendar in hand, she is ready to help out with any events coming our way. Thank you, and Congratulations, Judy.
Celebration of Life – Reg & Donna Dollimore
A bustling, full house to celebrate Reg and Donna. They were a part of our Club for many years. Both were Lifetime Members, and Reg was an Honourary Member as well. Their family arrived at 1:00, which gave them time to spend together before the other guests arrived at 1:30 – 2:00. Again, Nica came through with finger food; she planned for 150 guests, and hardly anything was left. It was a wonderful send-off for such special people as Reg and Donna Dollimore.
Halloween Afternoon
Drop into the Club tomorrow/today, Thursday, October 30th, for our Goulosh luncheon and an afternoon of games and fun. And you have to try our Bartender’s Halloween Drink—I hear it’s delicious. Drop in at 12:30 for lunch, and games will start thereafter.
A huge CONGRATULATIONS to LYNN for adding her extra touches and for being so passionate about our events—they have been successful thanks to her creative mind and her ability to bring her creations to life.
