Cribbage Club Cribbage Club

The Cribbage Club meets every Tuesday at noon in Clubhouse 1. Refreshments are served from noon-12:15 and anyone arriving by 12:15 will be assured a place to play. Yearly dues are $5, and each player pays $1 to play.

Those finishing in the top four will be awarded prize money the following week. A total of seven games are played.

Back in 1988, while playing four-handed cribbage in Saskatchewan, Canada, Bob Berry landed the highest possible score in cribbage with a 29-point hand.

The odds of this happening are one in 649,000. Berry also achieved his first hole in one on the golf course that memorable year. He has been a member of the LW Cribbage Club for eight years and has been playing cribbage for 80 years, since he was a child.

Myrna Losquadro provided cookies and ice cream in celebration of her upcoming birthday. Losquadro and Potsy Frank served everyone . Melinda Cowan also provided nuts, candies and pretzel mix. The club thanks and appreciates all who provide and serve.

The winners for the week will be posted a week late due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
