This past month we celebrated our wonderful pocket billiards club by hosting our summer bi-annual barbecue and pot luck. We invited our special friends from Solera Hemet to join us for a good day of friendship, good food and lots of laughs. We met for our regular 8-Ball in-house tournament where Rick Loney and Kenny Payne clashed in the final match. Rick Loney secured the win against Kenny who is always a challenge to defeat. Dewey Allen was on his game the day of the 9-Ball tournament and eventually came out victorious versus Ray Windhorn of recent fame. Dewey was undefeated on the day, congratulations Dewey! These tournaments are fun and exciting to play in and watch, you never know how well you will do until you try. Even those who have never won a championship have a great time and a few laughs along the way. Tournaments aren't required but eventually you will probably want to participate because competition is good for the game. It's all in good fun and winning gives you bragging rights and your name on the Champions' Plaque in the Billiards Room. We practice together at 7 pm on first and third Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Monthly 8-Ball Club Meetings are on the first Wednesday of the month at 7 pm. The In-house 8-Ball tournament is on the second Wednesday at 7 pm. In- house 9-Ball tournament is now on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 pm. Our "traveling tournaments" are the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month. The 2nd Monday, we travel to Hemet Solera and the 4th Monday Solera Hemet comes here.

Because of the heat of August and September, we have changed our hours of play to 8 am on Wednesdays until approximately 9:15 am depending on play. Our monthly social for August consisted of dinner at The Bistro followed by wonderful desserts at Dee Kelch's beautiful home. Great fun was had by all members and their spouses. Plans are being formulated for a summer barbecue the month of September which will replace our normal social event. We now have 13 active members and are glad to have new folks come and join us. So don't hide that talent under a bushel, come and enjoy all the fun with us.
