DECEMBER 4 - 5, 2010 STRAIGHT DOUBLES TOURNAMENT

The next tournament will be the weekend of December 4 - 5, 2010. The format will again be the standard double elimination format. As this is "the season", it is a good idea to make reservations early. If you are planning to play, you must sign up by 7:30 p.m. on the eve of the tournament. Sign-up at the clubhouse, or contact Jef, phone 760-767-4536, e-mail: jefbstc@gmail.com, or if all else fails, call the tennis center at 760-767-0577 the Friday night before the tournament (definitely before 8 p.m.). The draw will be completed by around 9:00 P.M. and play will begin on Saturday at 8:00 a.m. If you want us to call you with the start time, add your phone number with your name when you sign up. Also, if you are just joining the club, please provide contact information, preferably an e-mail address, if you wish to receive a newsletter, and if you want to be listed in the club's directory. If you want to share and consume goodies, there will be a Goody Bar in the clubhouse on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

SATURDAY POTLUCK / HAPPY HOUR
As usual, we will have our potluck on the first day, Saturday, of the tournament. Happy hour starts at 6:30 p.m. and dining starts about 7 p.m. If you have door prizes to give away, put them in the "door prize area" before the dinner.

BORREGO NEWS
Election results in Borrego swept away the old guard in the Borrego Water District. A slight majority of the Valley voted to legalize Marijuana (altho the proposition failed state-wide). The Art Institute is far in negotiations to purchase the former food market at Christmas Circle. Borrego had some great weather for most of the month of November.


OCTOBER 2010 TOURNAMENT

Despite rain west of the mountains, Borrego had great weather to host our first tournament of the season. We had a good turnout of 46. Many checked out Borrego Days festivities, including the parade. There was also an art show and live music and dancing at the Circle.


Jan McNamara won the $50 drawing!
Congratulations, Jan!
