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.

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!

Thanks to Mike Gould for donating a bicycle to the Canada Day draw on behalf of the club. As the photo shows, a young fellow named Logan had a great Canada Day thanks to Mike "Santa with Shades".

Coordinated by Brenda Dean with assistance from Peter Hagberg, Shirley Kirk and others, the 2016 Juniors Program has been a great success. Thanks folks!

See pictures of the juniors in action here.

Thanks to Shane Field for a great job power washing and painting the wall at the Anderton courts!!

" The Comox Valley Tennis Club hosted the first Friday evening tennis for new members last evening and it was a great success. The event started at 5:00 PM and all six courts were put to good use. The new members of the club had the opportunity to meet and play with other new members plus interact with several not so new members of the club. Many thanks to Annette Mayo who played a key role in working with everyone and encouraging participation in the leagues, Pat McGrath who demonstrated the ball machine, Marion McGrath who made the delicious popcorn and the wonderful enthusiasm and participation of Shirley Kirk, Sheila Ives, Marilyn Peeters, Dawn Christian, Gillian Northwood and Susan Bosveld-Bowyer.. We couldn't have done it without these member volunteers.

These Friday evening events will continue until the end of April so the invitation is out once again to all new members and any other members of the club who would like to join in. 5:00 PM at the Anderton Courts in Comox and of course more popcorn! "
