Spring is Here

April 25th South Portland For a Cure Tournament. Any MA Picklers interested in a Friday Night Get Together before playing the next day? Oysters, clams, haddock, a fish lovers delight. Let's eat them now before the gulf stream disappears. We can try to get a block of rooms together in a nearby hotel. Let me know. 

 More News:

Winchester is opening up for a trial run on Thursday evenings beginning in May for a month at the McCall Middle School. Let's overwhelm them with players lined up all the way outside and down to the local Starbucks. My determined assistant Marjorie Berger helped pull this one off.
