A big thanks to Jorge Sr. (Dan Vila's father) who stepped in this past week & taught our Women's Clinic alongside Zhenya. Thank you as well to Jorge Jr. (Dan's brother) who helped his father out with our C Clinic! We're lucky to have the Vila family's expertise at the club this year. |

Gill & Paul have been busy this summer sanding our deck & most recently, built some new benches! Seen in action to the left, these mobile benches have made watching matches far more comfortable. Yes, I am aware the image is sideways. Just tilt your head a little to the left.
These guys have spent years volunteering at the club, serving on our board, running daytime round robins, advising management, filling in shifts, painting the clubhouse, tending to the courts, welcoming new members, beautifying the grounds...The list goes on.
Gill was our webmaster & technology chief, leading us into the modern era. Paul ran the Intercity Men's League for years. Today, you can find them at the club each Monday & Friday organizing our beginner- intermediate Round Robins.
If you see these guys around, be sure to thank them! Better yet, buy them a drink!

Our A Side Men's Singles wrapped up last night with an exciting finale! In a repeat of last years final, Daniel Alfredsson took on RSC's Head Pro- Sacha Krishna. Spectators were treated to a number of jaw dropping points and hard to believe angles. In the end, Alfie took home the trophy again, along with a nice array of beers from Orleans Brewing Co. Congrats to both of these guys!
Also taking place this week, Our Men's A consolation finals took place between Jean Francois Siroit & Sebastien Huard. After a long match full of strategically placed rallies & drop shots (one of JF's specialties), Seb emerged victorious. Well done you two!
Beginning this Friday, our Women's Singles is up! Thanks to those who have registered. To view the A side draw, you can click here. Our B side draw can be seen here. Good luck to our participants!

Join us in welcoming Ottawa's top university players to our club. They will be using our courts to train for the remainder of the season. This Division 1 team includes past and present RLTC members including Andrew Clarke Alfero & Liz Ross.
The Board has happily given the team access when our courts are not typically being used. You can find them training at out club from 8-10 AM on courts 5 & 6 Tuesday-Thursday. We will review this booking as out clay courts close to make sure members have plenty of access.
Zhenya, our Head Pro, kindly volunteers his time to coach the team. We're happy to support his generosity and young players in the Ottawa tennis community. Exciting possibilities are currently being discussed to develop a relationship with the team (players hitting with club members, court work, etc). Stay tuned & say hello in the meantime!

We're excited to announce the return of our Annual Music Night! Join us Friday, October 8th from 7-11PM for our last event of the season.

Stay tuned for our full lineup at the end of September. Tomorrow, we'll send an official invite with options to sign up. Our friends from Orleans Brewing Company will be supplying the beer, while we offer wine, cocktails & snacks :)

Our BBQ/ Movie night, which was slated to take place tonight has been re-scheduled. Chef Ric's team has been kind enough to fit us in again next week, on Wednesday Sept. 29th! Same time, same place.
As we may have a different group of members able to attend, we will be re-sending an invite reminding everyone of the menu and movie options. We ask that those able to attend confirm their meal & movie choice again this coming Sunday.

Last chance to pick up items seen in the photos below! They will be placed in a bag today and given away at the end of September. If you see something that's yours, drop by to pick it up or ask us to set it aside till you can make it down. Thanks for understanding. |
