The HG horseshoe club would like to thank the teamsters for parking the vehicles on Sunday afternoon. And the numerous teenagers who obtained community service hours for babysitting the children. It was lucky that the ice cream truck came by.
Now, we are very sorry about the fight. In the future we will try to make sure that people with strained relationships do not play in the same game. We did not know about the pending divorce between two people and we should have been cognizant when one said 'I'd like to put this horseshoe around your neck'. Fortunately the man ducked the shoe and we intervened. We escorted her off the grounds. Perhaps insurance will cover his broken windshield.
Now, lets make sure that we all play with the recognized rules of Horseshoes. Firstly, the man from Wilberforce who said that every time he got a point the ladies had to give him a hug. Maybe they play like that in Wilberforce, but it is not a Highland Grove rule. Fortunately he didn't get a ringer, since he claimed that the men had to hug him!
Secondly, if a lady made a bad throw, you can not request a second thrown since you claim to have your fingers crossed behind your back. This is not in the rules. And if you are refused a makeup throw, please respect the decision and not swear and kick dirt on the judge.
Also, it is not polite to let the air out of the tires of the judge just because he denied you three points when you claimed it was a ringer and the judge said it was worth only one point. We had to round up an air compressor and it made our community look bad.
The police said they will provide additional security next Sunday, so it is probably going to be a safe afternoon from 1 to 4 pm. Turn out for a good time.
