ACC Grass Roots club #314
Greetings fellow cribbage enthusiasts and welcome to the homepage of the Granite State Cribbers. Our club is an officially sanctioned Grass Roots club of the American Cribbage Congress (ACC) founded by our leaders and gracious hosts Daniel and Sheila Crete in 2004. Meets are held on most Wednesday evenings in Hudson, New Hampshire for nine games of cribbage.
Club members: If you have any suggestions for the webpage, place well in a tournament or have other noteworthy tidbits, please contact me at jrhatchjr@comcast.net or see me on Wednesdays - just bear in mind I'm an amateur webmaster :-)
Happy Pegging!
Jim Hatch
Al Miller is 2008/09 club champion!
After getting out to a hot start, Al Miller kept the pedal to the metal all season long and in the end blew away the field in record setting fashion. Not only did Al have the most points in weekly tournaments but he also qualified in both the GRRT and GRNT for a grand total of 321 GR points which is among the national leaders. Second place for the year was earned by Greg Gougian who had a total of 237 points, which in most other years would be in contention for the top spot. Jim Hatch started off slow but ended up with 221 GR points and a third place finish. Also breaking the 200 point barrier this season was Richard kelliher who ended up with a 201 point total. Paul Gifford (195) finished in fifth place while Dan Crete(166) ended the season in sixth place.
This years charitable contribution was given to the WALK TO CURE CANCER, which one of our Grass Roots members walked in, in support of a family member. The Team he was on was Moma's Team and the slogan was MOMA'S TEAM CLIMBS MOUNTAINS FOR A CURE. All proceeds from the Walk to Cure Cancer will support cancer research at the UMass Medical School in conjunction with the UMass Memorial Cancer Center in Worcester, Great big Thank You to Fran for walking and to the rest of the GS Cribbers for their donation.
