Shuffleboard SIG
Sun City Texas has an active Shuffle-
board group; approximately 20 indi-
viduals belong to the Shuffleboard SIG
and 20 other residents also play at the
two courts (adjacent to Bocce Courts,
and next to Horseshoes and Washers).
The courts are open every day to resi-
dents. Although there is no league play,
members of the SIG and other residents
gather at the courts at 9 a.m. every Tues-
day and Thursday to play for one hour.
Shuffleboard is fun for individuals of
all ages and all physical abilities. It is
easy to learn and easy to play―an ideal
outdoor activity to enjoy with friends and
neighbors. Newcomers are welcome to
join us any time. If you have not played
in the past and would like to be intro-
duced to the game at a time other than
9 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, email
Tom Rice at

Membership dues and bed rental fees are
due by January 31. If you wish to pay
by credit card, you can use the Sun City
Texas online ticketing system. You can
also pay by check at the January meet-
ing. Detailed renewal instructions can be
found on the club website.
Each year, about 5 percent of our garden
bed renters decide not to renew, which
means that new or prospective members
will have a great choice of beds fromwhich
to select. We invite all Sun City Texas
residents to come by the Gardens for a
tour, any Thursday or Saturday morning
(weather permitting) from 9-11 a.m. We
will also be hosting an Open House in late
February. If organic gardening interests
you, look for the application on our web-
site under “New Member Info,” fill it out
and follow the instructions on the form.
In the article header above, we list our
Nursery hours. What’s our Nursery? We
sell donated plants and plants from the
Greenhouse year-round, compost and
mulch, and compost tea on the first Satur-
day of most months. For more information,
check out our website under “For Sale.”
