President’s Report
Margaret reported on the activities of the past season. 7 fun tournaments were held,
only one cancelled due to rain. She thanked the members of the Executive and also
Jon, the beer man; Gerry, the handyman/locksmith; Mike who helped with nets and
advice; Herman, who cleaned the courts; Kelly Davis for his suggested charity
tournament with the Mission club, which unfortunately was unable to be held due to
conflicts with other tournaments; Marc and Rosie for ball machine clinics.
She congratulated Rosie and her family and other club members for their success in
various area tournaments.
Margaret reminded members of the tennis code of conduct noting that bad behaviour
and inappropriate language will not be tolerated
There will be no increase in adult fees next season; however, an increase in family
membership fees will be requested.
The club website is an added bonus for the club, and thanks were passed on to Judy
Muchowski for its design and set up, and to Chris Jolly and his colleagues for donating
the technology to make it happen. The website will be updated and early in the new
year tournament dates will be available.

-2Treasurer’s Report
Chris circulated the Statement of Revenues and Expenditures for the year ended
September 30, 2006. Equity at year-end is $13,891.98. He noted the Irrigation District
lease has increased from $500 to $1,000. Two large capital purchases were the ball
machine and a new beer fridge. It was suggested that a higher interest rate on GICs
and elimination of bank charges be explored. Chris confirmed that the club is not
required to file a tax return.
Rosie presented a recommendation that an increase from $85 to $90 in the annual
family membership for 2007 be made to recover the cost of junior T shirts.

The May men’s and ladies doubles matches were cancelled due to rain. Rob Aldgren

won the Mixed “B” tournament. Men’s and mixed nights had good turnouts and fun
tournaments usually saw all 8 courts in action.
Membership
There are 134 adult members and approx. 80 junior members this season. The
membership form for 2007 will be revised.
Club Pro
Rosie noted that she had 54 juniors taking lessons this season. Dave assisted with a
junior camp. 44 juniors were involved in the junior tournament, the most ever. Ladies
night had 6-7 courts in action. She noted that the ball machine is a huge asset to the
club but has not been used as much as she had hoped. The sign in book will be left on
the machine and members are asked to ensure they sign it when using the machine.
Members were also asked to notify one of the Executive if the machine malfunctions so
that repairs can be made immediately.
