2025 TBF's & CHS Annual Reunion
Save the date

Tuesday May 06, 2025 - Friday May 09, 2025


CHAFFEY HIGH SCHOOL TIGERS & BEST FRIENDS “CHS-TBF ANNUAL REUNIONS”
 

(This Annual Reunion is Open to All CHS Classmates)

Most of the Chaffey High School Classmates that range from the class of 1955 to 1965 and a few classes beyond this majority.

This Annual Reunion Started in 1996 With Two Chaffey Car Clubs.

TORQUES BUZZARDS & FRIENDS (TBF)

Over time it evolved from a Chaffey Car Club Reunion into a reunion to include more Chaffey classmates. The name was changed to:

TIGERS & BEST FRIENDS (TBF)






 

 

 

 

 

From 1996 to 2022 the Annual CHS-TBF Reunions were held in Laughlin, NV. As the drive to Laughlin, became harder for most of our classmates, the CHS-TBF reunion committee decided in 2023 to relocate the annual reunions to the Ontario, CA area.

NOTE: The Current Plan is to have a “Final Reunion” in

2026 on the 30th Anniversary of the CHS-TBF Reunions.

             Hope you can join us for the Final Reunions 2025, & 2026.

      • Place ball within 3 feet of flag, and 1 foot inside the boundary string.

    • Balls are always played from where they are positioned.

    • If your ball goes out of bound (there is no penalty)

      • Placed ball 1 foot inside of string where it went out of bounds

  • There Are 5 Wickets In Play And Each Wicket Is Worth One Point:

    • Four outside wickets and one center wicket.

    • First Team to score 3 wickets WINS.

  • Scoring Rules:

    • Player’s Ball must run in correct wicket order and direction to score.

    • Player’s Ball must be completely through nonplaying side of wicket to score.

  • Only One Ball Can Score at Each Wicket:

    • After the score the remaining balls proceed in sequence to the next wicket.

  • Coach Tom McFadden’s Rule:

    • A player may concede the current wicket and proceed to the next wicket.

      • NOTE: Player cannot advance more than halfway to the next wicket.

        • On all sequence shots, the Player cannot advance pass this halfway mark until the previous wicket is scored.

      • NOTE: It’s OKAY for your ball to hit other balls.
