2011 Evergreen Summer Doubles
In lieu of a Summer Solstice party, the Evergreen Squash
Club celebrates summer with a doubles tournament. This
annual event is a mainstay of the Greater Vancouver doubles
community. It is an opportunity to celebrate the easy living
of summer, and a chance to assess one's waning skills.
This year's event will be held Tuesday, 2011.07.12
to Sunday, 2011.07.17, 2011.
With a number of venues used for the matches.
Thanks to a number of volunteers, and Don Smerch, there
are always enough snacks to keep the competitors, and guests,
from completely starving while catching the matches. The
Saturday night party, to which those attending contribute,
is traditionally hosted in the home of one of our generous members.
With the summer looming large, with the generosity of the
sponsors and volunteers, and with the hearty competition,
it is definitely an event to add to your calendar early in
the year. You don't want to miss it.
Pool Party
Jill & Ed would like to invite all participants, and their partners, to a pool party
at their home on Saturday, 2011.07.16. So, dig your best swim suit
out of the closet, and look for the details at the club during the tournament.
Tournament chair is Mark Heaney.
