Update on Tennis News at HEB

For some unknown reason, our contribution to the HEB Magazine was not included in the October issue. In an effort to keep you all informed, I decided instead to post it on our blog. Please note that I have removed any personal information.

Events

The Eagle Bend Tennis Club Mixer held on September 20th was a great success. Approximately 30 members participated on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The day finished with an excellent buffet supper at the Eagle Nest Restaurant. Even those members, who could not play tennis in the afternoon, came and joined us for the evening event.

During the winter months, we will have an indoor Mixer, probably in February 2009. More details to follow.

We would love your help! A nominating committee has been formed to approach likely candidates for positions on next year’s Board. There are also several positions available for the various committees that run our tennis programs. Please, if you can help in any way, we would love to hear from you. Contact Jan or Ron and they will put you in touch with the nominating committee.

Tennis Leagues
Our leagues have finished for 2008, but watch out early next year when we will be recruiting players.

Evening Tennis
Wednesday evening tennis has dropped off a little due to the time of year, but those wishing to play should still turn up at 7:00 PM. To learn more details please contact Marlene or Hugh.

Women’s Tennis
Due to the cooler weather, both Monday morning and Thursday morning tennis now begin at 9:00 AM. Both are “drop-in” sessions. During the winter months, the tennis ladies meet monthly at the Eagle Bend Eagle Nest Restaurant – just to keep in touch.

Men’s Tennis
Saturday and Tuesday are averaging about eight men using two courts.
They meet at 9:00 AM and sometimes have lunch after tennis.

Beginner/Refresher Tennis
The program for beginner/refresher tennis has finished for this year although members are encouraged to play on Wednesday morning at 9:00 AM on court #4.

Mixed/Ladies/Men’s Tennis
Our regular mixed/ladies/men’s tennis sessions are held on Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM. We play mixed doubles, ladies doubles and men’s doubles. Come with or without a partner and we will do our best to accommodate you.

HEB Tennis Blogs
Liz and Larry welcome contributions to their respective blogs. If you have photographs or tennis news, please check out your HEB magazine for their telephone numbers/email addresses.

Tennis Club Meetings
Our next meeting will be held on January 5th 2009 at 7:00 PM.
