Double Ringer Newsletter, April 2026

 President’s Pitch

Is it spring or did we skip it and go straight to summer!  April Fools, winter is back, maybe,  it depends where you live. My advice is just stick your head out the door and see what’s happening.  

It's that time again to prepare for summer leagues.  May is just around the corner and your league director is working on arranging court clean up and the summer pitching schedule.  Have you contacted your Club director yet?  Do you know if all your teammates are returning? Help the league directors out and contact them as soon as possible to see where you can help.  

You can also find out what's going on with Colorado Horseshoes by attending the Annual CHPA membership meeting this Saturday April 4th. It will be held at the same location as last year.
