Late Breaking News from GTC
Next Saturday, August 26th is our Member Appreciation Picnic. We need to know how many are coming so that we can purchase enough food. This is a big event featuring tournament finals at 10 am, barbecue at noon, awards presentations at 12:45 pm, a lucky draw table and all ages round robin at 1:15 pm. Please sign up here no later than Wednesday, Aug. 23. This event is free with a contribution to the potluck salads and desserts and includes family members. We have a great lineup of lucky draw prizes from our local merchants and sponsors.

After a lot of planning our courts are finally in the queue for repair and resurfacing. The work will begin sometime between Aug. 28th and Sept. 5th, and this will result in closure of the courts for approximately two weeks. Unfortunately, there will not be enough time left to offer a fall lineup of junior and adult lessons, but we are planning to offer the Guildwood Cup team event. Details to follow.
