A number of problems have been encountered in trying to provide a good tennis service at the courts. The water line to the courts is still frozen and | consequently we are not able to water the courts down as required. However, recent rains should im- prove the condition of the courts. Both nets have started to tear at the top and it is hoped that the nets will be repaired by the end of this week. Some temporary repairs have been made to the fencing and there is only one section of fence that requires major repair. Players are reminded to use the courts properly and lock up before leaving. Keys are available at the Recreation Office for $1.00 each.
