Tingley Centennial: 1883 ~ 1983
PIONEER Q CLUB
In 1970 a few retired pool-minded citizens decided to look for a pool table. After several trips to various towns, Lloyd Reynolds found a good slate top Brunswick table in Ankeny, Iowa.
The following Charter members pitched in and we bought it: Lloyd Reynolds, John Buck, Lloyd Nealis, Wayne Overholtzer, Cyril Green, C. E. Sutherland, Harry Skarda, Art Pritchard, Carl and Craig Riggs.
It was set up in the Cecil Allen building where he kept Pioneer seed corn, so we named our club the Pioneer Q Club. Cecil let us have it rent free if we would help repair the roof.
We bought the present building in 1975 and incorporated. We charge a nominal fee to take care of fuel and repair.
Visitors are always welcome.
