VB Musical!
The VB Musical was enjoyed by over 500 people in three
performances last weekend with a cast of over fifty volunteers.
The musical was the brainchild of Margaret Murray-Haddad
and directed with great aplomb by Joanne Gibson. Margaret and
Joanne, along with a dedicated group of volunteers, spent countless
hours planning, organizing, practicing, and directing what turned
out to be a real gem of a production. Cast members were thrilled
to be involved and the audiences had a great time!

Letter to the Editor
From issue 7 of the Herald, I strongly disagree on the comment
in “Letters to the Editor” about putting out used items. I find it a
treasure of VB unlike other communities which will just throw the
items in the trash. But as a compromise I suggest that if something
has been out for a week or even less that you can take the items off
the side of the road and put them in the trash/recycling.

2019 Sandcastle Building Contest
Grey skies turned blue just
in time for the official start of
the 2019 Sandcastle Building
contest.
A recent rainstorm had
moistened the sand into
a perfect consistency for
budding artists to sculpt
their designs. More than
100 participants enjoyed the
morning’s competition, and
all were rewarded with a sense
of accomplishment and a cool
treat to take the edge off the
heat and humidity of the day.
The judges had their jobs
cut out for them, as the
competition was very tight.
Prizes were awarded for first
place in all categories with the
exception of the 10 and under
category where all participants
left with a treat. Thank you to
all the participants for making
this another successful and fun
event! We saw creativity, team
work and perseverance and
the results were spectacular.
Many hands made light
work of the morning’s duties,
and a big thanks goes to all
the volunteers who helped
out: the Hughes and Rozzi
families, Emma, Rec Staff
Andrew, Karissa, Linnea and
Mark.

Victoria Beach HERALD August 16, 2019 13 One Hundred Years – Over One Hundred Thank Yous VB Novelty Tennis Tournament 2019 – Aug 17th & 18th Last year’s Novelty tournament was described as “the talk of the town”, and “simply brilliant” by every single person in Victoria Beach. This year we are going to kick it up a notch. On mid day Saturday, the super popular serving clinic (complete with ball speed radar) will be back, as well as the groundstroke clinic (with the awesome red ball machine). A group of our very own high calibre players have also volunteered to run skill development clinics. Roam around from clinic to clinic, pick up some great tennis tips, and soak up the background music. As if that isn’t enough, after the clinics, hop into some GVS to practice some of those tips, before you dive into your next afternoon game. The format of the tournament will remain as a team tennis event. There will be 4 people per team, playing in two divisions. Winners will be decided by total games won. All matches will be pro-sets, and games will be no-ad deuce. Teams will be meticulously selected and blended to maximize your enjoyment no matter what your level of play. Rest assured our roving prize judge will be back looking for any reason whatsoever to plant a prize in your hot little hands. By nature, he’s easy to impress, and difficult to offend. And now for the fine print … Sign up sheets will be posted at the tennis courts on Friday Aug 9th at noon. Sheets will be taken down at 5pm on Thursday Aug 15th or as soon as the first 48 players have signed up. Teams and draws will be posted no later than 5pm on Friday Aug 16th. Entry fee is $5.00 please pay before you play. All entrants must be members of the VB club, and have their own shoe tag. Duane Lucht, Jeff Hollins, Bruce Eyford

Swimming Wrap-up 2019!
Wait…what? I thought we just had registration! Where did all that time go?
Two sessions of swimming lessons have come and gone and yet another group of
excited swimmers have furthered their skills here at the beach under the watchful
eyes of our fantastic swim team. A huge thank you goes out to our dedicated swim
instructors: Tess Poulton, Duncan Lamont, Avery Edwards, Finn Gillis, Blake
Edwards and Kieran Engbrecht for your dedication these past six weeks regardless
of the weather, as it seemed we were all witness to almost all 4 seasons at some
point this summer. You are a great team and lots of fun to work with!
Congratulations as well to all our swimmers for your enthusiasm and energy and
for your successes! Great job to those of you who enrolled, came out and got wet.
A few short weeks ago, before swimming lessons, you couldn’t:
Put your face in the water – now you can.
Jump off the dock – now you jump off without fear.
Do front crawl without help – now you are swimming on your own.
It is because of these lessons, your teacher’s guidance, and your parents’
encouragement, that have made you better swimmers today!
We have enjoyed our first year as convenors. We would like to thank everyone
who came out for the 200m and 800m swim events, both as participants and
volunteers. You made our job a lot easier.
As we wrap up this season, we have some new ideas for next year and we look
forward to seeing you next year at the swim dock and around the beach.
Enjoy the rest of your summer and keep swimming!

North 59 Art Show Recap
The third annual North 59 Land, Water and Air Art Exhibition was a huge
success once again this year. More than 600 people passed through the
Clubhouse doors to view the work of 18 artists from as far away as Montreal to
our own VB community. A variety of work ranging from painting to ceramics
to kinetic sculpture was on exhibit. Jane and Diane would like to extend their
deepest gratitude to everyone who took time from their busy weekend to attend
the show. Whether it was simply to admire the work, chat with one of the artists
or purchase a piece for your own collection, they appreciate your interest and
support.
Until next year . . .“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life”

Thank you to those supporting LWF through related Lake-A-

the ‘Waterman Challenge,’ Barbara Battulla and Sun Country Arts
and Crafts, Saffies General Store and Rachel Small who marked her
birthday honouring both VB on its 100th and Lake Winnipeg with
a fundraising campaign for LWF. She raised over $450 to donate
to the Walk. Even the younger generation got into the act with
Stephanie Gatin and Ayla Nguyen raising $150 at their Iced Tea
sale. Now that’s a lot of iced tea!
Thanks for all your innovative ideas and being part of the solution
through the giving of time, skills, donations and promotions.
Together, we can make the changes required for a clean, healthy
Lake Winnipeg and surrounding watershed. Thanks to everyone
