The sending out and processing of annual subscriptions put a heavy burden on the Club’s limited (and mainly volunteer) administrative resources. Changes in Membership status or categories, when they occur after the initial fee request has been sent out, lead to “double work”. This happened last year for almost 40% of our fee requests.
To help us improve efficiency, we would like to change the process this year and capture as many changes as possible ahead of issuing fee requests. Please let us know by June 30th of any changes in membership category that you wish to make for you or any member of your family; e.g., changes between Social and Full. Please email your changes to .
Please note that category changes that are simply due to age are handled directly by the system and no request needs to be made in this case.
Many thanks in advance for your help with this.

During sessions run by Rugbytots, children will develop their motor skills through fun games designed to develop their agility, dexterity and self-confidence.
Children will learn how to pass and kick balls through fun games that appeal to their imagination. They will storm pirate ships, escape quicksand, explore the jungle, put out fires together and enjoy many sporting adventures. Our priority is for children to have fun and develop their self-confidence, while instilling a team spirit.

The SAC internal tennis tournament is now underway with early wins for Pamela Duffin in the Women's singles and Guillaume Darrieus in the Men's. Congratulations!
Please see the posters by the bar and this (pdf) document for the draws.
All players should please try to get their first-round matches played by early next week.
Players who just can't find time for their matches will have to be scratched in the interests of not holding up other players and getting through the draw by the end of June and the start of the holiday season. There will be more tournaments in the future!
And there is more Social Mix-in tennis on the calendar this Sunday: 2:15 pm at the club for a 2.30 pm start. See you there.
