Burnaby’s Central Park Horseshoe Club is hosting an open house on Saturday, Nov. 30 for Sports Day in Canada.
Club president Jim Ball is hoping people will come out to join the club or try their hand at throwing horseshoes.
“It’s good exercise, friendship and it’s a very challenging sport,” he said. “I often compare it to bowling. Take a ball and look at those pins, and try to hit the middle one.”
The club, which used to meet in Vancouver’s Stanley Park, has been in Burnaby since 1969. There are about 30 members, who meet regularly to throw horseshoes.
“Some of us are very competitive and we go in tournaments,” he said. “Others just play (for fun.)”
The open house is from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Central Park horseshoe clubhouse, take the entrance from Boundary. There will be tea, coffee, snacks, and horseshoe throwing demonstrations. For more information, go to www.bchorseshoe.com or call 604-724-6106.
