Our annual horseshoe pitch took place last night in Leigh Laughton's back yard and I would like to reiterate our thanks to Leigh for the use of his fabulous horseshoe pitching facilities and his efforts made to make sure we had enough hamburgers and sweet corn on hand for us to consume prior to getting physical in the pitching of horseshoes. Thanks go out also to Leigh's wife Phyllis for the delicious cupcakes she took the time to bake for us.
The pitch got off to a slow start, but before long, many of us, not all of us, started showing off their pitching abilities and the competition grew. It came down to the final match of Henry Wiersema teamed with Bill Galbraith against Jim McDougall teamed with Jim Thompson. The match was neck and neck throughout, with wringers being scored on both sides, but the Wiersema/ Galbrath team pulled ahead in the last few minutes to win it by only a few of points.
I posted about 30 pictures taken with my cell phone camera on a gallery page of this website. Hover your mouse over "The Members" and then over "Gallery", and then click on "Horseshoe Pitch 2014", or just click on the following link: Horseshoe Pitch 2014, and accept my apology for the poor quality of the pictures. The camera on my phone is not the best in capturing motion or when the lighting is poor.
