2010 ANNUAL REPORT ENFIELD, NEW ... - Town of Enfield

Enfield Outing Club
The Enfield Outing Club (EOC) was incorporated on November 26,
1934 for the purpose of promoting "community rowing, swimming, skiing, and
ice boating on Mascoma Lake as a means of social and recreational betterment,
physical improvement, and the general prosperity of the town of Enfield." During
the 1940's, shooting sports were included to round out our focus.
"From its inception, the club has remained active in community projects
and through its efforts done much to improve the town. Many Enfield and area
residents were responsible for enlarging the baseball diamond at Huse Park,
instrumental in the development of Shakoma Beach, erected the Christmas tree in
the center of town and provided gifts for the children and in general fostered an
interest in sports for the youth of the town.", so wrote Frederick (Ted) Sanders in
1960.
Enfield Outing Club's Annual Clough Fund Christmas Party for
Kids featured Santa and music provided by young ladies from
Mascoma Regional High School Music Department.
EOC has always been an integral part of Enfield whether meeting at the
Dartmouth boathouse, Legion Hall, Whitney Hall or since moving to its current
home on Shaker Hill Rd. in 1955. "Old Timers" no doubt remember boating,
baseball teams, basketball, minstrel shows, beano, dances, game dinners, oyster
stew, deer pools and chicken shoots. Today’s adults may reminisce about the fun
they had as youths at the Fishing Derby.
