Hi All Just got back from out of town, so haven't posted much. To matters at hand. I'm glad some of you got to read the article on PRO in last Saturday's Richmond Review. It was really nice of them to dedicate a whole page to us. Naturally, I missed picking up a copy as I wasn't around so if someone could scan the article and post it up for us, that would be great. Beginner Summer Camp is in full swing. Thanks to Chris Lee and assistant for running the camp. I think we have 16 students, which is wonderful. The advanced Camp starts next Monday so for those still interested, sign up quicky! Tonight, we had a friendly inter club match with our friends from VRC. Fun was had by all with some enthralling matches keeping the spectators on the edge of their seats. PRO won the match 14-9 but in the end, everyone had a good time and went home happy (and tired ). Thanks to all the VRC members who participated. We hope to see you around more. Also thanks to all the BC Forum members who showed up tonight to support the event. We have an upcoming ANNOUNCEMENT to make. However, we need to go sort out some logictical issues first but hopefully we'll be able to make it in a couple of days. Till the next time mb

Are you guys going to put up a back drop (black curtain) behind and inbetween court 1 and 2 before the tournament?
last time i went to richmond pro for drop in, i found that although it has more courts compared to clear 1/2 it seems really small and really squished. might be the way they arrange the courts. but other than that, the courts itself seeems pretty nice.
I understand we'll be using the 8 courts in the inner part of the facility for the tournament so courts 1 and 2 won't feature in the equation. In any case I'm also told we could be (finally) putting up some curtains for these courts next week. We'll see.
RichmondPro Tournament We've had a tremendous response for the tournament. Even to this evening, we've had people belatedly submitting their entry forms. Once we sort things out and conduct the draws, we'll post it on our website. Thank you all who have entered the tournament. See you next weekend at PRO. Bring your "A" game!! mb
