Breakfast (and lunch) at Wimbledon

The annual Wimbledon social was held on June 25th.  This year the weather cooperated (if you consider extremely hot weather cooperating), and all participants had a great time.  The King and Queen of Wimbledon were Chris Poate and Della Mandel, respectively.  Their picture can be seen in the Events area of the website.  Chris and Della are obligated to wear their lovely crowns each and every time they walk on the courts for the next year.

Welcome Jay Walpole

As most of you have heard by now, the early departure of our previous pro has turned into a good thing.  Jay Walpole, who we have been trying to get on staff for the past two years, has accepted the position and will be joining the professional teaching staff as of mid-July.  Not only is Jay a fine young man with excellent playing abilities (Doug taught him as a junior), but he is an excellent instructor as well.  We are confident that everyone will be extremely pleased that Jay has decided to join us at BBTC.

Kiwanis' Tournament

The Kiwanis' tournament will be held August 19 - 21.  This is always one of our larger draws of the year and usually brings in many players from out-of-town.  If you are looking to play against someone other than the ones that you beat-up on every week, this is a good opportunity to expand your range of victims and help out a worthy cause at the same time.  The entry deadline is August 17th -- so don't miss out.

Fall Junior Development

The Fall 2005 junior development clinics will begin the week of August 15th.  We will be expanding the program and offering a High-performance group that will incorporate conditioning, tournament travel, weight training, nutrition, and mental toughness training.  This group will be by invitation only for the first session.  Schedules will be available by the last week of July.
