COMMENTS FROM THE THIRD VICE PRESIDENT

We have 74 scheduled NHPA sanctioned tournaments this 2011 – 2012 Florida Horseshoe Tournament

Season. Some weeks we have 3 or 4 tournaments in one week. Hope to see you all soon at one of these

many horseshoe tournaments in Florida.

Remember to check the “Information about important changes in FSHPA tournaments, schedules, etc.

on all the Florida Clubs Web Sites it is about half way down the front page of each club’s web site. Just

click and it will have the Florida World of Horseshoes News. It might be a good idea very Wednesday

when you check your NATSTATS average you could go to your club’s web site, and check to see if

there are any changes in the FSHPA tournaments, schedules, etc. If you know of any fellow horseshoe

pitchers who do not have Internet access please let them know of any changes. Just a thought!

If anyone has information regarding changes in FSHPA tournaments, schedule and other items of interest

To FSHPA members; please send me an E-mail at vwoollard@aol.com or phone me at 813-645-3610.

If we all work together we can make our Florida World of Horseshoes a more fun place to be.

It is not too early to start thinking about the Florida Club Team Tournament in Sebring on Saturday,

January 28, 2012. The rules for the Club Team Tournament are in another article in this December

Newsletter. Take note that Marcy Santoyo is the Tournament Director for the Club Team Tournament

this year. Therefore you will need to send your Team entries and fees to Marcy no later than the

Wednesday before the tournament. So get your club team together and plan for a fun time.

Wish you all a very Merry Christmas and the Happiest New Year Ever with Family and Friends and

Lots of Ringers.

Verdell Woollard (Dell)
