SOCIAL EVENTS

WEDNESDAY ABCD

The Round Robin version is on hiatus until October.

Starting Wednesday, May 14th, we will have ABCD table paddle at 5pm.

Players put their paddles on the table under A,B,C, or D. If you start in B and you win, you then put your paddle in A. If you lose, you put your paddle in C. This gives everyone a chance to play with different levels. There will be 6 courts for this event, so there should not be a long wait time between games. Volunteers will be there to facilitate this even

HOUSEKEEPING

NEW NPU GUIDELINES

Looking ahead at next week's sign-ups, the Level B group continues to be at full capacity and the other two levels are typically not. It is suggested that unused courts from Level A & C should be shared with the Level B folks. Also, we suggest that Level B folks on the waitlist should show up since there are likely to be open courts.

The Scheduling Committee will look at this and may reallocate the courts going forward.

VAPTR DRYER MAINTENANCE

When you plan to use a court dryer ( vaptr) , please take 2 minutes to brush the debris off the roller before using.

The brush is hanging up behind the rollers. We all thank you for being part of the solution, many hands/light work/etc.
