Changes for the 2011/2012 season
· Less pot luck socials/meetings – more focus on tennis related events
· New position of Ball Captain added. Zuzana has accepted this volunteer position. Thanks Zuzana
· Evening session of organized play added – See above
· Non Prime time has been extended to start at 11:00 AM. The online reservation system provides us with the ability to review the usage and it was determined that this change will not cause court availability problems. Permanent court time may be reserved M-F starting at 11 AM and all day Saturday and Sunday. Call Kate or Mark 6459 to book permanent court time
Budget Status – Palm Creek
· Tennis club requested the cracks be filled on the courts – Status: The courts have all been resurfaced. Thanks to Glenn blowing off the courts they are all in excellent shape!
· Tennis club requested 5 additional tables and 28 chairs to bring the total to 20 tables and 80 chairs in the pavilion. Status: Some of the tables and chairs from last year are gone. The new tables and chairs have been delivered
· Tennis club requested lighting in the walkway. Status: Solar lights now light the walkway and the area where you turn on the lights on each of the tennis courts
· Tennis club requested water fountain – Pickleball also requested water fountain in their budget request – Status – Plan is to install water fountain outside tennis shed – Installation is in progress
· Palm Creek has purchased new score keepers for each of the tennis courts
Open discussion
· Plan is to build a new pickleball center with build out starting the end of this season. No decision has been made as to how many courts will be built in the new location and how many pickleball courts they will continue to use at the tennis center. At this time Palm Creek has not allocated any funding to convert any unused pickleball courts to tennis courts. We understand that the new buildout requires a significant investment in infastructure. We appreciate the court resurfacing.
· Last year we had quite a few issues with pickleball players walking onto tennis courts during active play. Mark Nelson, President of the pickleball club, informed us that pickleball will be installing signage on the pickleball court side as well as the main gate to court one. Hopefully this will help. If it continues pickleball will lock the gate.
· The tennis club’s online reservation system, www.reservemycourt.com, is being actively updated. If you forgot your password, call Kate or Mark 6459 and we can reset it.
