NSCC Forum

Once again the North Side Croquet Club has been invited to play an exhibition match at the Sloan’s Lake Spirit Fest. Game on!

Greetings Everyone,

I am the volunteer coordinator for an annual festival that is held at
Sloan’s Lake Park in NW Denver. This year’s festival will be held on
Sunday, September 10th, from 12 noon to 6 pm at the corner of West 17th
Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard in Denver.

The theme for this year’s festival is on “healthy living” with a focus
on physical activity, injury prevention, exercise, and nutrition.

I am extending an invitation to you to participate in the festival as a
vendor as you may have done in previous years.

Attached are three documents:

1. General publicity information about the festival
2. Vendor Application Form
3. Waiver of Liability Form

If you have any questions about the event, please contact me for more
information at xxx.xxx.xxxx or xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx. Also feel free
to pass along the Vendor Application to anyone you may know that might
also like to participate in the festival as a vendor. The more the merrier!

Best regards,
Teri Rietfort
Spirit Fest Coordinator

Good game on Tuesday, dominated by the veterans. Over 20 years of NSCC play between the 4 poison battlers. Mike G, the most veteran player was the big winner for two points and a total of 4 now, which brings him into the top ten. Jess Also got two points, one for winning her game and another for a wicket kill. She now has 3 points, and is no longer down with OPP (one point players).Dom stopped back in mid-vacation and picked up one more for a game win, bringing his point total up to a whopping 15. I got one more which I’ll name Warren Buffet due to his recent newsworthiness. I now have 6 total and fourth place. Tournament on Sunday at Wolff Park at 2:00 and the next game’s at Wash Park on the Croquet green. Remember, no kick shot on the green.

Here’s where it stands-

DOMINIC - 15 POINTS

BOYD - 12 POINTS

LEIGHTON - 7 POINTS

DAVE - 6 POINTS

JOHN - 5 POINTS
MELANIE - 5 POINTS

JEFF - 4 POINTS
A.J. - 4 POINTS
MIKE - 4 POINTS

BERGONZ - 3 POINTS
NATE - 3 POINTS
JESS - 3 POINT

JASON - 2 POINTS
MARIKA - 2 POINTS

JAKE - 1 POINT
JULIE - 1 POINT
ERIC - 1 POINT
DOUG - 1 POINT
CHRIS D - 1 POINT
ED - 1 POINT
SONIA - 1 POINT
POOPERS - 1 POINT

Good call on the park Nate. It was one of my favorites, and with good NSCC roots too. In addition to being one of the parks Nate maintains, the Orr’s (1,2,3) mother was responsible for a planting a lot of the foliage and such. Apparently Boyd liked it a lot too, as he shut down his game in record time, right around a half an hour. Has there ever been a quicker game? And since I’m not talking shit anymore, I’ll refrain from mentioning that Boyd seems to have “enhanced” his performance, or that Boyd rhymes with roid. Did Dom leave his stash behind when he went on vacation perhaps? But anyhow, after winning his game in record time, Chris had a couple of hours to meditate in the beautiful gardens, and was thus extremely focused when it came time to do battle, and cleaned that one up nicely as well. With his two shiny new points, he now has 12 total and is within a game of catching Dom.

Melanie is kicking it into high gear in the last half of the season as well, winning for the third week in a row. She now has 5 points total and is in a three way tie for fourth place with the Simpkins brothers, who sadly, both got shut down.

The last two winners were both long overdue for a point. Poopers broke free from the NPP ranks with his first win, and Mike, last seasons champion, got his first point since week 4. Mike now has 2 points total and Poops has 1, which brings him up into a 9 way tie for 8th place (although there are 13 people in the top 7 places, so it might technically be called a tie for 14th place).

Next week is at Mosquito Park, which I’m sure is every bit as lovely as the name would lead you to believe. Here’s where we stand.

DOMINIC - 14 POINTS

BOYD - 12 POINTS

LEIGHTON - 7 POINTS

JOHN - 5 POINTS
DAVE - 5 POINTS
MELANIE - 5 POINTS

JEFF - 4 POINTS
A.J. - 4 POINTS

BERGONZ - 3 POINTS

JAKE - 1 POINT
JULIE - 1 POINT

DOUG - 1 POINT
CHRIS D - 1 POINT
JESS - 1 POINT
ED - 1 POINT
SONIA - 1 POINT

Sonia and Melanie got a game point each. I got a poison kill point, which I’ll name Anne Bonney since I watched a documentary on lady pirates last night and lady pirates are hot. This weeks game was brought to you by Clerks II. Here’s where it stands at what is probably more than halfway through the season by now.

Dom -14 points

Boyd - 10 points

Leighton - 7 points

Dave - 5 points
John - 5 points

Jeff - 4 points
A.J. - 4 points

It was a sunny 4th of July,
then the clouds came and covered the sky,
it didn’t dampen our mood,
’cause we were full of good food,
and everyone got really high.

Well once again Dom took the first spot.
14 points he’s got now, that’s a lot.
It’d be such a shame,
if he’d miss a game,
And give everyone else a shot

Jeff extended his streak by one more,
so now his points total four,
He just might win the race,
if he keeps up this pace,
’cause you can never write off an Orr.

Melanie also won her game.
Next week she might do the same.
Now that’s 3 points she’s got,
so she moves up a spot,
And now she’s the highest ranked dame.

Well everyone knows it’s the shit
When the NPP ranks shrink a bit
Edric got on the board
it’s about time he scored
After ten years he’s learned how to hit!

The last point to mention’s for me.
and to celebrate the land of the free,
Ben Franklin’s what I’ll call it,
I wish I had him in my wallet,
So here’s where the standings all be.

Dom -14 points

Boyd - 9 points

Leighton - 7 points

John - 5 points

Jeff - 4 points
Dave - 4 points

Bergonz - 3 points
AJ - 3 points
Melanie - 3 points

Marika - 2 points
Jason - 2 points

Francob - 1 point
Mike - 1 point
Julie - 1 point
Nate - 1 point
Doug - 1 point
Chris D - 1 point
Eric - 1 point
