Bentley Horseshoe Tournament 2019
The Bentley Horseshoe Club was once again able to host a successful Fair /Rodeo horseshoe tournament for 2019 because of the continued impressive community support and some volunteers.
We were actually up in numbers over the 2 days! Many played both days. Participants and guests really seem to enjoy playing horseshoes in Bentley and taking in some of the other events during our town's annual rodeo and fair.

On the first day of the tournament, Saturday, there were 6 different classes with 33 participants in two rounds of "Singles" play. Councillor Neil Maki again attended the opening and threw out the ceremonial first shoe.
On Sunday, in "Doubles" play, there were a full 8 teams with some junior players included. Weather was "iffy" but we got through it.

Bentley Horseshoe Tournament Winners 2018
Some of the Bentley's 2018 Singles winners
The Allan Boettger Memorial Award was again presented for one last time - this year to Doris Winfield and Hazel Heistad (Honorary).
We were down a little in registration numbers but still hosted a good tournament despite the Canadian Championships interfering some. We did have a number of new players come to Bentley this year who really enjoyed playing horseshoes in competition.
Deputy Mayor Neil Maki attended the opening, threw out the ceremonial first shoe, and welcomed visitors. He acknowledged seeing horseshoe players at the pancake breakfast saying he remembered serving them coffee. Horseshoe players do take in and support other town events while here!
There were again 6 classes in two rounds of "Singles" play on a nice day on the Saturday. In the afternoon, some players chose to move to courts more in the shade to the west!
We have again applied to the Alberta Horseshoe Pitcher's Association and received permission for a tournament date on their circuit for August 10, 11, 2019 for next year. Time will tell if we can pull it off again. We need more active members and invite people to try horseshoes. The courts are open to the public.

Some of the Bentley's 2018 Doubles players
On the Sunday, in "Doubles" play, where you play with a given partner, there were 5 teams with handicap play. It was cooler and drizzly at the start but got better. After the round robin, there was a sudden death playoff as there was a tie for first place. The eventual winning team included a junior player, playing with a newer player. "Doubles" is a more fun and socialising kind of play that Bentley continues to believe in. Few other places offer it.
This year's rodeo raffle saddle draw was won by a horseshoe player - Vic Preece - a wonderful extra-added surprise for him and for the Sunday horseshoe players. He is a horse rider so really appreciated the value of the saddle. It was nice to know someone that had won and was in attendance!

Thank you to a group of local high school students, who did the spring cleanup of the horseshoe playing area in June 2018, which really helped out the small horseshoe club. Students enjoyed instruction and play at later dates.
