The HTA monthly meeting will continue to meet on the second Wednesday of each month but the starting time is changed to 7:30pm.

Last month we had a wonderful turn out of folks mainly interested in improving the courts for the program we call “Match Point 2010.”

Tomorrow’s meeting will be primarily a work session. We ask you to pencil the December 10th meeting where we intend to have plans, costs and direction for the project.

Please feel free to attend tomorrow if you like. I especially ask you to attend if you are inclined to lead one of the efforts for Match Point 2010 such as fundraising, advertising, etc.

thank you,
Angelo Alberto
HTA President.

To HMHS & Borough of Haddonfield,

As mentioned, the slippery conditions at Centennial Tennis Courts are potentially dangerous.  Haddonfield Tennis Association had a company do a “test clean” on Friday to remove the slippery sediment that has accumulated on all five tennis courts over the years.  The test went extremely well.  Here are some details:

-          The attached picture illustrates the “before/after” results.

-          The company “Gale Force - Soda Blastina”  uses a low-pressure technique mixed with (environmentally-friendly) baking soda.

-          Successful tests were done in the most slippery rear of the court and a test in the green doubles alley on Court 1.

-          Gale Force also tested two cleaning techniques with a cleaning agent & scrubbing.  These processes were not preferred and were also less successful.

ACTION:

-          We need to clean these courts ASAP as the High School girls tennis has begun their season.

-          We will receive an estimate from Gale Force this week.

-          DOES ANYONE have a second company we might get an estimate from?

-          I can meet to discuss how this is paid for.

CLUB HOUSE FACILITIES

The lock on the Men's Room Door has been changed so that the original key opens both doors to the rest rooms.  In the men's room, the damaged area in ceiling was repaired but the screen covering the ceiling fan needs to be re-fasten.
