Welcome to the 2022/2023 season of ORPS Tennis. There are a lot of new and returning events this season. So, get those new court shoes broken in! ORPS last Horse Race was held on Monday 11/7. There were 43 participants. And the winners are ….
The Mixed Ladders will now be known as ORPS Mixed Doubles and be played on Sundays starting in January. It will be a round robin format this season. The Internal League will be known as Team Tennis and be played on Mondays starting in January. A new event called Play & Dine will be held on Friday ’ s at 4:00 at LP. Fun, easy play followed by dinner at La Roma. There will be intermittent clinics with a local CV pro throughout the season. More details to follow as the season progresses. Sparky ’ s weekly Clinics will be resuming as soon as he is feeling a bit better. They will now be on Wednesday ’ s at 10 am at Satellite “ B ”. Our dear friend Gordon Nederveld passed away on October 12, 2022. He was a big part of both the Tennis and Pickleball communities here at ORPS. He was also a former board member. He was always smiling and quite the mischievous character.
Fun was had by all but especially Club officer Julia Buckland, who won $103 dollars in the year ’ s first 50/50 drawing. As I mentioned above, the old race horses are being put out to pasture. Instead, a new event called “ Fritters and Fun ” will be taking its place. Each month will have a different format. The first event in January will be “ Triples ”. All registered players qualify for cash prize drawings. A few other changes for the coming season. Top Gun will now be played only on Thursdays (Both women and men ’ s). There will be an early and later session which will be rotated each week between the men and women.
Gordon will be missed by all the friends he made throughout his wonderful life. RIP, Gord!
