The pool project continues to advance:
* Final pricing and payment terms negotiated
* Applications for authorisations delivered to the relevant authorities
* Loan papers signed, and loan now available to be drawn on as payments are made to the suppliers. We are pleased to confirm a 10-year loan at 4.15% APR.
* In order to set firm dates with suppliers, the pool will be closed from 30th September 2024. This will allow the work to begin in early October and will also allow us to lock in a contractual “completion date” with our suppliers.

Louis Tchertoff passed away on 27 June following complications from an operation. This sadly follows the passing of his elder brother Francis 5 years ago.
Louis was a very active Club member ever since he was born in 1959 and until the late 80s when he left the Paris region settling in Normandie and later moving abroad to develop an international career.
In the late 60s and early 70s he started playing football, tennis and snooker at the Club. He showed his team skills as Captain of the SAC football Cadet team and later as goalkeeper for the Men's Saturday team during the early 80s.
The SAC Saturday team were a very strong team in the 70s and 80s playing all around the Paris region in the "Ligue de Paris”.
The family will gather for a private funeral in the Limoges region, where he had settled.
For the coming 2024/2025 season, the Club proposes Taekwondo lessons for children and adults on Saturday afternoons.
Feel free, for yourself or for your children, to try this very positive activity.
For any questions or inquiries, please send an email to: alexandra.lescure@outlook.com
We need to plan and set up the new schedule from September.
(See this article for more information about Taekwondo.)

The SAC with 5 players participating in the main draw had strong chances of winning the tournament. Congratulations to Nicolas Rosset, the tournament victor, once a well-known face at the SAC before moving to Nantes! Read on for more details and some pictures.
In May, the SAC CC headed off to Kent for their annual cricket tour to the Garden of England over the long UK Bank Holiday weekend, and came back unbeaten!
