Dear members
We hope everyone has been safe and healthy. This has been a unique and challenging time for all of us. Your executive has been working diligently to start up tennis events at the Coquitlam Tennis Club in a way that is safe and healthy for our membership. This Email provides an update on where we are at.
Club Opening
We have approval from the City to rent courts and will be opening the Coquitlam Tennis Club – with programs starting up Monday July 6th.
In order for CTC to get the City’s approval, a COVID- 19 Safety plan was developed and will be implemented. Please review the attached CTC COVID-19 Safety plan.
COVID-19 Safety Plan Key points
1) Registration: if you are participating in Men’s, Lady’s, Social, Mixed Doubles or any other CTC event, you must register in advance- through forms or on line. This is for contact tracing – in case someone gets infected, the health authority will be able to notify anyone who may have been in contact with that individual.
2) Social Distancing: no close congregating, “hanging out” before or after matches. No shaking of hands, high five’s, hugs etc. Try to maintain some space/distance from your tennis partner and or opponents.
3) Personal care: hand washing before and after play and use of hand sanitizers during play
4) Participants Agreement- when signing up for an activity, all members must be willing to abide by the participants agreement. Please review Participants Agreement document.
Basically you as participant, acknowledge that you do not have Covid-19 symptoms, have not recently been in contact with someone who has Covid-19 and have not been recently out of the country nor been in contact with someone who has been out of the country.
Registration for ladder and social events will be posted/sent in the following weeks with the goal of for all programs to start week of July 6.
Mon- Men’s Ladder
Tue- Social
Wed- Lady’s Ladder
Thur- Competitive Mixed Doubles
Frid- Social
Note: Competitive Mixed Doubles will be coordinated by Sib Sirimanotham. It will be open to all levels and participants are encouraged to register as a team. If you do not have a partner, you can contact Sib who will try and find a partner for you. Note registration closes July 5.
Registration and or enquires, contact Sib at ctcmixdoubles@gmail.com
Due to Covid-19, we will not be able to host the Coquitlam Open or any Junior tournaments this year. We also will not be able to host any food socials or in club tournaments.
Jr. Development programs are now open. See website for more information and registration.
Private and Semi Private lessons are available. See website for more information.
Membership Renewals/Fee structure
As this season has been shortened, the executive approved extending the membership for those registered for 2019-2020 to March 2021. Basically if you were a member last year, you will not need to renew your membership. We are in the process of refunding renewals.
The executive also approved a New Membership fee of $30 for the 2020 season. We are in the process of setting up the new registration fee structure.
Executive Changes
Shaheen Husainy and Jackie Bolan have resigned from the executive. Sib Sirimanotham appointed to occupy Jackie’s vacated position and will manage the competitive mixed doubles night.
CTC is in need of a Treasurer. If interested, please contact any executive. If we cannot find someone to take on the Treasurer position, CTC will have to hire someone to manage our financial accounts.
