November 2011 GSC Member Doubles Cribbage Tournament
Winners: Beardsley (Felicia that is) & Hume
November 18th saw what was probably the last cribbage tournament of the year at the club and a couple of experienced pro’s ended up with the win. Out of six teams entered (partners were chosen by the draw), the team of Felicia Beardsley and Rick Hume finished 1st for the night with a respectable 589 points (out of a possible 605); Dale Dawson and Dennis Harriman finished 2nd with a close 582; Bob Beckim and Rod Spearin rounded out the top three with 579. The cool “total points” format that we've been using for most of the year, once again had everyone on the edge of their seats until the last hand was played. Pizza and salads from Gerard's Pizza was on the menu again this night and a good time was had by all.

May 2011 GSC Member Cribbage Tournament
Winner: Felicia "Hurricane" Beardsley
May 27th (storm watch): Competitive weather fronts gathered by the edge of the stream to produce evidence as to why hurricanes should be named after women only. Felicia "Hurricane" Beardsley blew through the competition this night to score another "perfect storm" as she went on to lay waste to all who sat across from her. Out of the nine members who were sent seeking shelter, 2nd place Rick Hume was the one who came closest to riding out the storm with an impressive 1052 points (out of a perfect score of 1089).
