Congratulations, Bob!

Today, we all come together to celebrate the 28 great years Bob Quigley has given The Dartmouth Sportsplex. From his time in the weight room & swimming pool, through to his days as Athletic Director and General Manager, Bob has given his all to his work for nearly 3 decades.


Who knew that young "Deer in the Headlights" way back when, would grow up to lead such a tight ship with a proud crew!?!


Congratulations Bob, and all the best in the years to come!

If you're around today (Friday), come join us & the Board of Directors in The Dartmouth Sportsplex Common Room to say a farewell and thank you to Bob - Drop by anytime between 4:00-7:00 pm.

Apparently it's quite the workout!
We appreciate the effort, Ryan!

Are you a Superstar?!?

Remember the empty hall the other day?



Well, with the potential of the "Bingo Superstar" jackpot prize of $10,000
on any given night, here's what that empty hall turned into:

What is SuperStar Bingo?
SuperStar Bingo is an electronically linked bingo game that connects all the participating bingo halls in Nova Scotia. And each night at 8:15 p.m. bingo players across the province join together to play for SuperStar Bingo prizes as part of their regularly scheduled bingo session.
Join us at The Dartmouth Sportsplex Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday for your chance to win!

Take a ride in the Way Back Machine!

Oct. 3, 1982, The Dartmouth Sportsplex officially opened.
And here is what the pool looked like.
(Remember when brown tiles were all the rage? It was 1982. They look sharp!)

The pool deck was so new here, there isn't even a ___________.
(Fill in the blank. Email me & let me know what's missing from the pool deck,
and you could win a Free Pirate's Cove Swim Pass
... and no.  It's not Pirate's Cove.
Clue #1: It is something that has been with us all along... well before the slides came to be

28 years later and here's the current pool deck:
 
4 waterslides, a hot tub, steam room, & sauna.
And brown tiles.
 (Those brown tiles have seen us through a lot of changes. I'm actually kind of partial to them now.)
(Clue #2: What's missing in picture 1 is hidden in picture 2!)

(We miss her 'round here)
