No Phil today. We did have two wayward Rotarians return – Andy Murtagh and Jim Lowry! Welcome Back! Also no pictures because my camera attachment is back in Copper Harbor on my desk.,
A variety of Happy dollars & announcements: Capt don Kilpela paid his $3 to announce he was leaving for 3 months. Pastor Peter paid $1 to announce there were no Canadian Teams in the Super Bowl.
Program: Jim Lowell gave an interesting presentation on the game of darts. He described the dartboard components. The main body is sisal fibers assembled on end to permit easy return of the fibers once a dart is removed. The rings are removable to permit the board to be rotated when certain areas are worn.
Dart boards run $30-$60 with a set of darts priced at $40. Jim’s darts were 90% tungsten which is 2X heavier than brass. They weighed 26 grams. Darts weigh between 20 and 50 grams. Players can buy the weight that works best for them. The tungsten darts are also thinner than the brass. Thinner dart barrels permit closer groupings yielding higher scores.
Jim explained three dart games: 301, 501 and cricket. I cannot go into detail on the rules and strategy other than to suggest Rotarians call Jim and set up a game date. You will need to supply the appropriate beveridge.
Jim stated he enjoys the game and the mental math. Players need to be working to determine what scores they need to bring the score down ( that’s right – down) to zero.
Thanks Jim!
