Dear Paddle Tennis Players of all ages:

A mini-meeting was held at Bill Brother’s Atlantic Beach & Tennis Club in late January, and the overwhelming majority of attendees thought it would be very to produce a fairly concrete schedule of tournaments for 2003.

 The 3^rd Annual Patty Shrader Memorial Tournament

Kathy Drake will again be the Tournament Director and has been gracious enough to move the date to March 29^th at Treaty Park.

 The Aldo Burga Invitational (727-464-2054, Aldo)

First ever to be held on the clay courts of the Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in beautiful Port St. Lucie. Several things are great about this tournament from the start: (1) ROAD TRIP and (2) We’re ALL invited to an invitational Tournament!  Keep the weekend of May 3^rd open!

The 3^rd Annual Memorial Day Weekend Tournament – on the Beach – a tradition.

Sally Romick will again be Director of this popular tournament.  Remember:  Beach tournaments are lots more work – any effort you put forth is that much less a burden on the Director.  See you May 24^th and 25^th – exact location to be determined.  Mixed Doubles Tournament that Friday night the 23^rd.

June Tournament that still needs to be nailed down – Midnight Madness (that starts about 8 p.m.)

Two divisions are formed for both men & women, rotate players each 10 game pro-set, and keep track of how many games you win in total to determine the champions.

 The Character Counts Tournament

Undoubtedly be the hottest weekend of the summer – July 26^th – it’s a tradition!

Fall tournament in Charleston, SC  announcement coming.
