Tony welcomed all tennis members.
The transition of authority has passed from Lakeview Heights Irrigation to District of West Kelowna.
Currently in discussion with DWK about the eight courts and their understanding of availability of one court
for public play during club events. The club position is that it needs all eight courts during club events.

The beverage fridge was discussed and the honour system for payment. It was requested that members pay
at the time of purchase.

Karla suggests we have a sign up sheet for volunteers as there was difficulty during some tournaments.
Tony acknowledged that Karla did a great job co-ordinating the volunteers during the past year.

District of West Kelowna
Tony said on October 12th the Executive has the opportunity to make a presentation to council.
The Council has a draft of a 10 year plan that proposes a pickle ball court where the current ball hockey
court is and a plan to resurface the tennis courts.
Questions to the membership follow; do you want to see;
1. Covered courts for year round play? There is a void in the valley for covered courts.
2. A tennis bubble or a facility?
3. Would a facility house a gym? There is only one public gym and that is on Webber Road.
Bryan asked if there is a five year plan within the ten year plan. The plan is to review the lease and renew it
in the fall.
John Grass said for the ten year plan there is an obvious lack of space.
Rosie said that in the paper today West Kelowna seeks feedback by October 15th and gives the following
E-mail address for your comments and concerns. www.districtofwestkelowna.ca
At a recent meeting upstairs in the Community Hall many pickle ball members were there, but no support
from tennis members.
Wayne Van Damme suggested a scripted message be created that each member could use
Cheryl Dick suggested that an individual message would be better.
Tony requested a show of support for each member to lobby the District of West Kelowna.
