Ted Clayton Deserves Big Thanks for Bench Work.

Have you noticed how good the benches on the Brockville Country Club's golf course look now that many have been repaired and painted? Well you have member and volunteer Ted Clayton to thank for that. The benches weigh a "ton!". They have concrete ends, each of which takes a couple of strong people to move. Ted has disassembled benches on the course then transported them to the Granite Hall where he has power washed and painted the concrete ends; repaired and painted boards; transported everything back to the course and reassembled the bench at the golf-hole location. Quite a process!
Ted, pictured above, has certainly had some off-and-on help to move the heavy benches around. Included are John Nightingale, Bill Lumsden, Ian Stewart, Kal Robertson, Travis Brennan, Kevin Harper, Rocci Pagnello (and probably missed a couple .. sorry). Gary Lalonde has also donated some wood for benches.
This bench restoration (some 34 in all) is a major project which will not be completed until late fall or next spring.Next time you see Ted, thank him for his volunteer efforts. He certainly deserves it.

A Little Spice Added to Men's Thursday Twilight

Organizers Travis Brennan and Cole Spicer added a little excitement to the regular Thursday evening Men's Twilight. Rather than play an opposing team member, each team was invited to get together for a 5:30 shotgun start. This allowed team members to say hello again. Once back to the clubhouse, each team member compared score cards with their opponent in order to complete the scoring sheets. In addition, each team was invited to "dress up".
The winning team was Ryan Billing's scallywag team which also included: Ian Stewart, Travis Brennan, John Nightingale and Carson Kilpatrick (you can figure our which is which). Since the organizer's team won, we have to believe Jason Easton's team below was more deserving (which also included Jack Kenny, Ray Debuc, Mike Bauder and mascot Mickey Leeder in center).
The dinner after golf play was moved upstairs to the main dinning room and balcony. A very fine buffet dinner was prepared by chef Jason and staff and served by Emily and her staff.
Congratulations to Travis and Cole for shaking up the format for the evening. It was a fun time which is sure to be repeated.

The Fabulous BelAirs Fabulous at BCC's Dinner Show

The second of the Brockville Country Club's Dinner/Show/Dances was held in the "Granite Hall' Saturday evening, May 30th. It was a great evening. Chef Jason and his staff prepared a fine meal of BQQ chicken stuffed with pulled pork, salad and pecan pie desert plus all the trimmings. Emily and her staff did a great job of serving the three course meal right on schedule. Then it was time for our General Manager, Glenn Singleton, with his hat and all, to introduce the evening's entertainment, that being the Brockville Music Hall of Fame band, The Fabulous BelAirs.
And what a great show they put on playing all the familiar 50's and 60's rock & roll music. They too must have been having a good time as both their first and second sets were much extended to the delight and applause of the large audience. No. he didn't fall off the table!

It was a fun evening. The food was very good; the camaraderie was great and The Fabulous BelAirs put on a super performance. The dance floor was full all evening.

Now it is time to book your tickets for our very special third event of our Summer Series, the Brockville Youth Showcase on our Granite Hall stage Saturday, June 20, 2015.
