Slo Pitch is similar to baseball, except that your own team mate pitches the ball to you. Teams should have approximately 15 players to allow for absences.
Pensioners are welcome to participate.
Games will be scheduled Monday to Thursday commencing at 6:45 p.m. A team may specify ONE day of the week it does not wish to play on and efforts will be made to avoid that date in scheduling.
League schedules, maps and Slo Pitch rules will be supplied to Team Captains by Mid-May.

January is over and we are all, no doubt, starting to look forward to those long sunny days and it is a good time to get a head start and register early for our annual Golf “Tournament” for pensioners and friends. The Texas Scramble format will be used again this year and you may enter as one, two, three players or as a foursome. We will round out the groups in accordance with your wishes as much as possible. As always, the main objective is for everyone to have an enjoyable, fun day (skill is not a requirement) with a chance to reconnect with old friends. Pensioners, spouses, significant others, relatives, friends and active bankers are welcome.
Although we have not yet secured pricing, we anticipate the above noted prices will be close. We are expecting in the region of 50 golfers and it is important that you indicate your interest as soon as possible to ensure that we can confirm the numbers to the Club in good time. There are a limited number of golf carts available and anyone requiring one should let us know as soon as possible.
Once again your committee has guaranteed a sunny day and we are looking forward to seeing you there.
To register, contact Allan Miller at aemil@eastlink.ca
