FACILITY UPGRADE:

By time of printing the new windows and doors to the clubhouse will have been completed.

This upgrade will make the clubhouse so much more presentable and welcoming. The new door facing courts 5 & 6 will have a ramp enabling disabled persons to access inside the clubhouse.

We have submitted a grant proposal to upgrade the internal facilities and we hope to be successful in the next round of funding.

Do this when practicing more than anything, and it will help to build up muscle memory and get everything back on track.
