Our new VMNC Treasurer Tom Glen just joined us and is a very welcome addition on the courts and in the coffee shop afterward. We are still eager to add more players and pleased to discuss process, costs and playtimes with anyone interested in joining us. Call Des Carpenter at 250-721-1496 or at pdmcarpenter@gmail.com. We are moving inside now as weather uncertain and cost still modest at $11.00 for ninety minutes of fun at doubles tennis. Des Carpenter.

The Social Bridge groups returned to full action this month with all four groups now playing regularly. Our website Homepage outlines how we operate and the nights of play. If you are thinking you would like to play, we would love to have you on our spares list! With the amount of travel our members do, being a spare should provide many opportunities to play and to meet some fellow members of our Club. Please contact Bob Macdonald at jeanandbob@shaw.ca for more information.
