Volunteers needed for Alberta 55+ Games
The 2009 Alberta 55+ Summer Games will be hosted in Airdrie from July 23 to 26, 2009. The 55+ Provincial Darts Championship will be held at the Airdrie Royal Canadian Legion.
Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation has contacted Darts Alberta seeking volunteers to assist with the dart championship associated with the Alberta 55+ Games. The primary need of volunteers is for chalking matches throughout the event. The dart events will be held on Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25, 2009 at the Airdrie Legion.
If you or someone you know is available on either or both of these two days,
please email the Darts Alberta Administrator (administrator@dartsalberta.com)
to obtain more information.
Maybe they should do
Rock, Paper, Scissors to see who goes first?
During league play in the Lethbridge's Tons
and Stuff league, Bob Drake of Lethbridge (left) and Jack
Miyada (right) of Taber, threw perfectly three times in a row
each for the diddle and still couldn't determine who would go
first.  
This feat, while not quite impossible is far from a
common-place occurrence, even with the class of elite players
we have in our province.
(Special thanks to DA Member, Scott Lee for
sending us the photos and background.)
