Our tournament season has officially concluded, let us bring you to speed...

On our Women's side;

In the Division A Final - Cindie was triumphant against her sister Christine Houde in a hard fought match! Fans filled the deck and enjoyed watching the siblings duke it out. They are still on speaking terms last we checked.

For the Division B Final - Anne Sophie- Belzile won against Sylvie Begin in a close match.

In the Division A Consolation Finals Laurie Maybury took the cake against Bibi Alfredsson.

For our Division B Consolation Final Tina Beretta emerged victorious against Rose Liu in a rarely seen hard court final!

In our Men's Division B finals, Ian Munn won in a tight match against JP Huard.

We hope to see all of you back next year, congrats to our winners and finalists.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this years tournaments, contributing to the fun, competitive atmosphere at the club.

Parking On Lakehurst

We have noticed several members parked along the construction fence, often directly behind the driveway of 540 Lakehurst drive (our neighbours across the street). This makes it difficult for construction trucks and excavators to move in and out of the site. The construction crew has been asked to be very careful of neighbouring properties.

If members could kindly move their cars further up or down the road on Lakehurst or to the east of the tennis courts to avoid any damage to your cars it would be greatly appreciated.

Orange pylons will go up (during construction hours) directly across from the house (south of the RLTC's cedar hedge) so that there's better ease of traffic along the street. Thank you to our neighbours for their concern and efforts to help protect member property.

RLTC's Music Night

Our music night was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who made this possible including the artists, employees Hanshul, Marlow & Benji who all took to the stage at different points, members John Richard & JP Huard who graced us with their musicality, Julie Smyth for helping promote, Kaz from Kaz Kitchen for providing amazing bites, Fred from Orleans Brewing Co. for coming out, Camille, Vuk & Katie for volunteering their time and Dave Baker for ensuring the sound and lights were on point!

Finally, thank you to the members who showed up to support the club and local musicians!

Coyotes in Mile Circle

Our good friend Marko (Aka the Racquetman) has let us know that there are coyotes in the area. Those with pets should be mindful, especially late at night & early in the AM!

Round Robins for the Remainder of the Season

As our season wraps up, we wanted to inform everyone about the status of our Round Robins moving forward. Our Tuesday Round Robins will conclude next Tuesday, October 19th. A huge thank you to Richard Martineau (seen in the white shirt & hat below) for running these for the second year in a row. He's been a major part of our tennis club's adult programming success.

JP (with the bag) generously organized a nice thank you for Richard last week

Nick Fortier has kindly offered to keep running the Wednesday Advanced RR's while courts stay open. You can continue to register online as always. A reminder that these sessions have been shifted to a 5PM timeslot.

Joel Weiner who volunteered to run our newest Sunday 4PM Intermediate Round Robin will continue to do so for the next 2 weeks with a final date of October 31st. Thank you to Joel for facilitating these on a weekly basis and serving the needs of our intermediate adults!

The ever fantastic duo, Gill & Paul, will continue running the Monday and Friday sessions until courts close. Most likely, they will then continue play after shoveling the snow, hibernate for a few weeks and be back first thing in 2022. This Friday (October 15th) at 11:30 we will be hosting a BBQ/ Pizza/ Cocktail/ Snack smorgasbord to help clear out the canteen. More details to come.

Regular RR's are now as follows;

Monday (till courts are all closed)-10-11:30AM Beginner-Intermediate Round Robin (all levels welcome)

Tuesday (finishes October 19th)- 10-11:30AM Intermediate-Advanced Round Robin (3.5+ required)

Wednesday (till courts are all closed)- 5-6:30PM Advanced Round Robin (4.0+ required)

Friday (till courts are all closed)- 10-11:30AM Beginner-Intermediate Round Robin (all levels welcome)

Sunday (finished October 31st)- 4-5:30PM Intermediate Round Robin (2.5-3.5 required)

For Monday and Friday RR's, you can register until 1 hour before start time.

For the Tuesday, Wednesday & Sunday RR's, you must register by noon the day before.

Closing Date

Our Clubhouse is officially closing on October 17th! We will put out one more newsletter shortly to let members know how we are continuing with court use/ bookings.
