With the recent news and events worldwide in association with the CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19), the Tam Heather Curling & Tennis Club encourages all Members to be proactive with the following prevention practices:

• Abstain from customary handshakes pre/post game. We suggest elbow bumping or a nod or use other forms of non-contact greetings.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and running water.
• Bring your own personal hand sanitizer to use. Lysol/Clorox wipes are also a good idea to wipe down rock handles. Unfortunately with all the hoarding/stockpiling that is happening, the Club’s suppliers are currently out of stock of hand sanitizer and wipes. The Club only has hand sanitizer available in the handicap and downstairs washrooms and at both ends of the tennis dome.
• Cover your cough. When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with flexed elbow or use a tissue. Then dispose of tissue immediately.
• Avoid touching your face.

Stay home if you are feeling sick or have any symptoms associated with the virus.

ALL LEAGUES LOOKING FOR PLAYERS!!!

Please refer to the OTA Player Rating Scale posted in the Vestibule

All tennis members interested in trying out for a team or league at Tam Heather Curling &Tennis Club must attend tryouts. If you are unavailable to attend tryouts on the date posted, you must contact the team captain or league coordinator at least 3 weeks before the tryout date to arrange another tryout date.

(ALL TRYOUTS WILL BE ASSESSED BY CLUB COACHES)

Are you looking for a tennis game? We can help!

Tam Heather has introduced an electronic bulletin board where you can post your availability to play and reach out to others who would also like to play.

To view the game board, log into the Tam website and navigate to Tennis Info > Game Board.

You can also edit your availability from this page as well as send emails.

In air supported structures such as ours, the front door doesn't always close for a variety of reasons. When it doesn't close, an alarm sounds. We are looking at various mechanical changes/fixes that we can make to ensure the door closes properly. In the meantime though, to prevent these alarms, please be sure to always close the door behind you upon entering or exiting the dome. Your help is appreciated.

Congratulations to the following winners of a pair of GSOC Players Challenge tickets.

And to everyone else, please be sure to enter promo code TCATAM when buying your tickets to get a chance to play on the GSOC ice following the Friday night draw of the 2020 Princess Auto Players’ Championship at Mattamy Athletic Centre (April 10^th)

Cheers,

If you’ve been following our blog on the Tam website, you’ll have read about the promotion that the TCA is running in conjunction with the upcoming Players Championship at the Mattamy Centre April 7 to 12. And even if you haven’t noticed it on our blog, you must have wondered why Emma Miskew is constantly standing outside our club office entrance.

Tam Heather members should use the code TCATAM to purchase tickets to the Players' Championship in April. The club with the most tickets purchased will get a sheet of ice at Mattamy Centre (old Maple Leaf Gardens) to play a game.

• Join the Princess Auto TCA Challenge by purchasing tickets to the 2020 Princess Auto Players’ Championship!
• Enter promo code TCATAM when buying tickets and your team could be playing its final on Grand Slam Ice!
• Five TCA Clubs will win a chance to play their final at Mattamy Athletic Centre following the Friday night draw of the 2020 Princess Auto Players’ Championship at Mattamy Athletic Centre (April 10th)
• As a thank you to the TCA, Princess Auto will donate $10,000 to the TCA and Junior Curling in support of growing the game

And as an additional thank you for participating, each club is receiving a pair of all-event passes. In past years, we’ve given one lucky winner the tickets to all 19 games; but not this year. This year we’re going to spread out the fun by drawing 19 names.

So, our first lucky winner of 2 tickets to the 7:00pm draw on Tuesday April 7 is Terry Sedor. Congratulations!!!!

Stay tuned, we’ll be drawing names for the rest of the tickets later this week.
