Our Club

A Short History of the DeLand Bridge Club

Groups formed in DeLand and DeBary in the late 1950’s, joining ACBL in ’58 and playing in a lot of venues, some quite imaginative: restaurants, a fire hall, the Elks Club, the Woman’s Club, the Putnam Hotel. In 1962, Pete Besom and Norman Mortimer began looking for property and found the Deerfoot Road site. Permission had to be given by neighbors to have a club in the area, and a small building on the site, a former BOQ hut from the local Navy base, was sold and moved.

The building was designed by Norman Mortimer and built by John Witt, funded by shares in a first mortgage paying the then Pass-Book rate of 5%. The minimum investment was $300, and no one was permitted to put in more than $3000, the theory being that no one should have too great a say in what was done. 32 individuals and families participated. Mike Accardi, Leonard Munson and Norman Mortimer guaranteed the investments for a few who were worried that the Club would not succeed.

Member “sweat equity” got the building ready for opening in October, 1964. Many of the appliances were donated. Members installed them, as well as the kitchen cabinets. Curtain poles with card symbol finials were placed at each window with yards and yards of simple drapes made by a member. There was no carpet, just a bare concrete floor. Members brought carpet samples to put under cold feet, and a yard and plant sale was held on opening day to start a carpet fund.

The 30 year mortgage was paid off in 12 years. The two clubs had consolidated by then, and the Club, a non-profit corporation, is still going strong.

This old-fashioned oatmeal cake is very quick to make, might not win any beauty awards, but one bite and it will instantly become a family favorite!

Serves: 16 servings

Ingredients

Cake

·                            1½ cups hot water

·                            1 cup old fashioned oats ( I used quick cooking and it was fine)

·                            1 cup brown sugar

·                            1 cup white sugar

·                            ½ cup butter, at room temperature

·                            2 eggs

·                            1⅓ cups all-purpose flour

·                            1 teaspoon cinnamon

·                            1 teaspoon baking soda

·                            ½ teaspoon salt

 

Topping

·                            ½ cup butter

·                            1 cup packed brown sugar

·                            1-2 tablespoon milk

·                            1 cup coconut

·                            ½ cup finely chopped pecans

 

Instructions

1.               Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2.               Pour the boiling water over the oatmeal and allow to soak while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

3.               Cream together the butter and both sugars. Beat in the eggs. In another bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Add half of the flour to the creamed butter mixture, followed by the soaked oatmeal, then the remaining flour, mixing between additions. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake until set, 35-40 minutes.

4.               For the topping, turn the oven to broil. Combine the butter, brown sugar and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, while stirring. Boil for one minute. Stir in the coconut and pecans. Pour over the hot cake, spread, then broil for one minute.
