Court Clean-Up Thank You

A special thanks to everyone who came out on Saturday morning to help with the Spring Clean-up.  While the weather could have been a little more pleasant, the number of people who helped out this year was tremendous!  Because of the large number we were able to have the courts ready for tennis season extremely quickly. 

Thank you again for everyone's willingness to help out.  We are extremely grateful!

Regards,

Your Barrhaven Tennis Club Executive
