Sturgeon Point Shinny

Well, it looks like it might be a green Christmas this year in Sturgeon Point.  That also means no skating on the lake.

Fortunately, the annual Sturgeon Point Shinny is happening again!

Here are the dates, times, & places:

Wednesday Dec 28: 2-4 PM – Bobcaygeon Arena
Thursday Dec 29:  3-5 PM – Fenelon Falls Arena
Friday Dec 30: 3-5 PM – Fenelon Falls Arena

For those of you who haven’t participated before, we use 2/3′s of the rink for shinny and 1/3 for recreational skaters, little ones and UN observers. We play 5 minute periods split between younger skaters (roughly 12 and under) and the rest of the motley crew. This keep the little ones out of harms way and the old guys get a break every five minutes to catch their breath.

Please share them with anyone you think that might be interested in joining in the fun and games.

This a great deal, just $20 for families $10 for singles / day.

Having seen the pace of play in years gone by, we recommend the use helmets for one and all. Trust me you won’t be the only one out there sporting protection.

See you on the ice.

Special thanks goes out to Larry Thomas who has been instrumental in the organization of this fun event each year.

Local Tennis Camp No More – Daniel Moves On

After a successful run teaching local youngsters and adults the fine game of tennis over the past several summers, the ever-enterprising young Daniel Austin-Appleton has decided to close his summer tennis camp and will be moving onto other endeavours next summer. We’d like to thank Daniel for having provided this opportunity to the community and wish him the all the best with his future projects.

Summer sailing season has arrived!

The sailing program starts up for the summer on Monday July 6 at the Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club. Hundreds of local kids have been attending the great summer sailing programs offered at the club for over 50 years, and this year’s group of instructors are busy getting everything ready for another summer of sun and sail. Geared towards youngsters between the ages of 8 to 16 years of age, sailing club runs every weekday from 8:30 to 12:30 until August 28. Head over to the SLSC web site to find out more. Highly recommended!

Tennis anyone?

This is a reminder that tennis camp and lessons will be available again this summer. Appleton Tennis will be serving up another smash at the Appleton Cottage Tennis Court on Sandy Point Road. Tennis ace Daniel Austin-Appleton, a TPA Certified Pro, will be serving up fun for kids and adults. Please check out the Tennis page on this web site for more information.
