A new battery has been ordered for the ball machine. It should be here and installed in a week or so under the supervision of Mr Wong.

In the meantime if you use the ball machine and it dies just put it back and plug in the Charger.

Thanks Pat

Thank You very much Pat for organizing the Wild Card Doubles Tournament, the chicken lunch was delicious & I love the fact that you can eat the "Desert Plate".

Appreciate your hard work & thanks for supporting the club social activities.

Cheers

The CVTC in partnership with The Tennis Professionals Association (TPA), Tennis Canada and Tennis BC, we would like to invite you to participate in the first-ever Tennis Day in Canada on Saturday, May 13^th at Anderton court starting at 10 AM. Bring your family & friends, drop by the club house to meet our Professional tennis coach Brenda Dean and club executive. This is an excellent way to meet other tennis players, learn more about the tennis club activities as well as give tennis a try if you are thinking about the game.

To All CVTC Members,

The Season Grand Opening will be at Anderton on Saturday, May 6^th starting at 10 AM, bring your tennis gears & drop by the club house to meet the new executives. We will have foods & refreshments for the opening date. We plan to have lots of fun social tennis as well as the famous “One Point” Tournament but remember, if you cannot handle the “heckling”, don’t play on court 4.

See you all this Saturday morning.

Perfect weather & excellent turnout for the season 1st TGIF at Anderton club house. Over 40 new & not so new members attended the social event. As always, Marion & Pat did a fantastic job on the BBQ & salad. Catherine "Single-handedly" managed the doubles lineup with a little help from the Happy Doubles computer program. All six courts were fully utilized for fun tennis & heckling were ongoing at court 4. 

Can't wait for the next TGIF. Well done team.

We are sad to report that Chris Evans veteran tennis player from Powell River Tennis Club passed away while playing the game he loved in Mexico a few days ago.

He played in many tournaments and social mixers with many of the Comox ValleyTennis players over the years.

No further details available 

To all CVTC members,

Below is a brief write up on Indoor Recreation Facilities Master Plan from the CVRD website. I just completed the short online survey & I put down indoor tennis facility as my top pick for "Planning for the Future". If you feel the same way, please click on the link below & tell CVRD you also want to see indoor tennis facility in their planning for the future.

Cheers

Tony

CVRD Website

The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) has commenced the development of an Indoor Recreation Facilities Master Plan that looks at the long term future of the region in the context of its changing environment, demography, emerging priorities and needs for indoor recreation facilities and spaces. The Master Plan will serve as a guiding document for the Comox Valley sports centre commission and the staff and board of directors of the CVRD providing high level strategic direction, identification of priorities, and tactical recommendations for implementation.

In order to ensure that all members of the community are heard, please take the time to complete the short online survey (see link below).

Happy New Year.

Just received update from Marion & Pat, the courts at Anderton are icy. They are currently at the club house so please feel free to drop by the club house.

Due to icy courts, no tennis until conditions improve.

Tony.

The  August TGIF was a huge success with approximately  forty players attending some of whom were new  or visitors to the club. Food and desert was of course up to the usual standard but the big addition was a massive stuffed pasta dish supplied by Roberta Tura. Everyone commented on this dish - thanks Roberta for your thoughtfulness!
