Steel Magnolias


Court Whist

Court Whist was played at the Ajax Public Library on Wednesday March 6th. The event was attended by 27 members. Started off with some confusion of the rules but followed by lots of laughter. A fun time was had by all. First place winners were Silvi Karhunen and Bernard Twyman, second place winners were Geoff Cutten and June Booth. The lucky winners of a draw were Barbara Stevens and Liz Ryan. Thanks to organizers Bernice Pyke and Lorna Smith.

15th Anniversary – Potluck Lunch

The PROBUS Club of Durham West celebrated their 15th anniversary by having a potluck luncheon following the speaker. It was well attended by approximately 75 members. The variety of food was excellent and everyone had a great time reminiscing with friends and watching a slideshow of past events and activities. Thanks to all who attended and the delicious food provided.

If you forgot to pick up your serving utensils after the event please see Bernice or Lorna as they may have them.

Glow-in-the Dark Mini Putt– January 24, 2024

Glow in the Dark Mini Putt was a big success once again this year. The weather was kind to us and the roads were passable this year. (Remember that last year's event was on the day that the 401 was shut down.)

We had 23 people spend an enjoyable couple of hours getting their exercise swinging their clubs over and over again (The place has a reason for having a six-stroke maximum per hole), doing deep bends to pick up the balls from the cavernlike holes (At least that is what it felt like when bending over six inches lower than my feet), patting themselves on the back if they got a good shot (at least I saw others doing that although I didn't feel the need myself) and banging their heads with their hands when they had another bad play (you should see my head bruises). Who says games are not Real Exercise? I heard lots of cheers, groans and everything in between during the event. Some groups kept score and others decided that lying was not what they wanted to do that day, so they skipped and insisted they were playing just for the fun of it. But whatever they chose, all had fun.

All and all it was a lot of fun. Hope to see you there next time.

Thanks to Bernice Pyke for organizing and Lorna apologizes for the not-so-great photos.
