Tournaments

• Peter Perkin Memorial Tennis Tournament -  The first annual Perkin tourney was held on May 7&8, 2011. Our former Vice President and tennis instructor would have been pleased with the turnout and the play. Teams from as far north as Williams Lake and as far south as Omak competed in three divisions.
• ‘Get to Know You’ Tournament - a fun, one day tournament and social is being planned for June 25 for club members only. This is a new event this year and is designed to accommodate all skill levels. Players enter as individuals (not teams) and will play doubles tennis with different partners and against different players each set. More information will be sent to members when it becomes available.
