Heya, Ya So......: )
breath in breath out.
Finally we have the heat from that big ball of fire that we all imagined as we meditated thoughts of sunshine and new tennis balls and the perfect volley. July 11 brought an incredible passion for hitting the tennis ball that is our friend.............rain, Koolness, and teradactyl crap did not dissuade us from making the Stanley park event a success. The undeniable enthusiasm to play and have fun was only topped by the stability of the most awesome volunteer organizer Pauline Sweetness!! A great time was had by all who stuck it out and in the end everyone won!!
July 11, what can we say, awsome tennis and organization by our special past pres. volunteer. Michelle Suchow coordinated the HOT, HOT, humid event that made us all thirsty for Mohito's, Cervsas and finger food at "Cats Social House" afterwards.
Keep your e-mail eyes open for the next event opp. Delta pool / BBQ / Volley ball fun fun fun!
It's June : )
Beatles tune; 2010 Season Is Underway What's new? OMG a whole new season of FCTC tennis for 2010. The weather has not cooperated, however there is a feverish momentum building for future social and ladder play, hehe!
Hey June, don't make it bad (weather wise)
Take a sad may and make it be..ee..tter
Remember to let us on to the courts (without puddles)
And then all our games will get better : )
Hi all, just reporting for the FCTC news network,
I have been informed that this used to be a who's doing who column in the past but we don't need a news letter for that hehe!
The weather has been crap and will no doubt turn brighter soon. It is amazing that the ingenuity of those in the ladders allowed most to complete they're matches. There were some surprising results and no doubt interesting conversations between the doubles players. Two new pairs will be joining the mixed ladder thus ridding us of the byes for the new round beginning June 8. Yahoo!!
Thanks to "Racquets and Runners" ie Dave Curry for coming out on (may 21) a chilly evening and giving all the opportunity to try some of the hottest new racquet technology available and also giving introspect on some individuals needs for equipment. We also appreciate the technical doubles introspective that was offered up in the lessons that finally took place on Fri, June 4. June 11 will provide another chance to demo some hot rackets and also one more chance for instruction on how to be in the right place at the right time for doubles.
Etiquette: (hate the fact that it needs to be done but WTF) This is a community club. With out prejudice toward any particular members, I think it is important that some folks re-read the etiquette page on this web site.
This year the level of play amongst all players has increased substantially, NO NEED TO TRY TO FIX GAMES!! : ) If that's your thing, go play lol.... but not on our courts. And many question why you are here anyway then. But we know why........Deep down you love us. If we happen to have extra public courts that are available at the venue that we are occupying, same court change rules should apply but not our call. It is common courtesy.
On a lighter note, Stanley Park Doubles day filled up within days, too bad we could not have booked 12 courts : ). Watch for the July 11 mixer and cool down at the pub notice, We have cats patio reserved for early evening Jugs and prizes : )
That's all for now, Cheers..........FCTC
Ps.....everyone's playing everyone !! re: who's doing who lol!
The April 11 Wine and cheese was fantastic with smiles across the room as tennis balls flowed from the prize pool after Parna's short thankyou's toward the exec and volunteers, Naoko Amo, and Janet & Jan. Thanks also to Eco Marine for the kayak prize and also the community centre for passes to their most excellent gym.
The May 2 mixer was washed out. Can't argue with the weather gods.
The Ladders are set to go and sign up closes on May 9, if you have not found a partner, find one. There is a list of keeners on the drop down page for ladders on the site.
If you cannot log in to the site please use the "forgot password option" if that does not work, contact me through
The best way to keep informed and fit is to come out to social tennis, WED, FRI, and SUN. If you don't do that..........I dunno, why did you join. Lot's of great talent are ready to finesse the ball to/into your court. Cheers and happy hitty...........D
