Minutes from January 26 meeting

Palm Creek Tennis Club
General Meeting
Tuesday, January 26, 2010


The meeting was called to order by President Charlotte Eicher at 4:15pm at the tennis pavilion. Charlotte introduced officers, Walt Krahl, Vice-President; Mary Williams, Secretary; and Helen Arnold, Membership chairman.

The minutes from the last general meeting (December 9, 2009) were accepted as posted. Charlotte read a summary of the treasurer’s report sent in by Carolyn Stone. Expenses lately have included money for tennis club brochures, a new ball basket for use during lessons, and a new “sandwich board” to use at the courts to publicize activities.

The Cancer Awareness Tennis Tournament will be held February 5, 6, and 7. With women playing on Friday, men on Saturday and Mixed doubles on Sunday. There are still openings for players in all categories.

The Palm Creek Tennis Club “in-house” tournament is this coming Thursday through Saturday. Seeding events were completed today.

The next tennis social will be on February 21. It will be a brunch. Watch for details to b posted on the bulletin board and on-line.

The rest of the meeting was a discussion of current court usage and the possible consequences of that. The courts are not being utilized as much as they could be by our current approximately 128 active members. Attending members expressed various ideas and suggestions to increase usage. Those ideas included posting individual play requests on the bulletin board, adding an afternoon “social tennis” and a 2.0-3.0 drop-in tennis time to the schedule. All of the ideas and suggestions will be taken under advisement by the officers,

The meeting was adjourned at 5:15pm.

Tennis Tournament Delayed One Week

Hi all,

Mark and I don’t think the forcast for Thursday and Friday is going to change from the 80% chance of rain and the 25-30 mph winds. We have made the decision to postpone the tennis tournament start until next Thursday, January 28th. The weather may change and we may look stupid for postponing but given the information we have right now postponing for a week is the only option that we see. If there are any conflicts such that you can’t play we will work with you.



We will send out the schedules for next week on Tuesday evening, January 26th. As we have “byes” in all the brackets we will keep the registration period open until Tuesday, January 26th.



Thank you for your understanding,

Kate and Mark

Tennis Tournament postponed to 1/28-1/31

Due to the forcast of 80% chance of rain on Thursday and Friday with winds at 25-30 miles per hour, the tennis tournament, originally set to begin on 1/21, has been postpone one week. The tournament will start on Thursday, Januay 28th and conclude on Sunday, January 31st. The registration period will be extended to Tuesday, January 26th. If anyone has a conflict due to this scheduling change please contact Kate or Mark (6459). All brackets have "byes" so if you have not already signed up, please contact Kate or Mark (6459). Schedules and results of play will be posted on this website as well as on the bulletin board at the tennis courts.
