Hello Tam Heather Members,

This is a friendly reminder to pick up your parking pass if you haven’t done so already.

We’ve been advised that the Pan Am Centre will be hosting a swim competition from Monday, October 20th to Friday, October 24th, which may increase traffic in our parking lots. During this time, the Club will be monitoring parking closely and may contact parking enforcement if necessary.

To avoid any issues, please ensure your parking pass is clearly displayed on the inside of your front windshield. The confirmed parking fine is $75.00, so it’s important that your pass is visible.

Thank you for helping us keep our parking spaces available for our members and guests.

Warm regards,
Tam Heather Management

Dear Tam Heather Members,

We’re excited to introduce new Tam Heather parking pass stickers for members to place on the inside of their vehicle windshield. These passes will help ensure that parking remains available for our community of members.

Our lots can get busy—especially during events at the Pan Am Centre or the high school across the street. Displaying your pass will allow us to quickly identify member vehicles and keep our lots accessible.

Important details:

• Parking passes are available in the main office during regular office hours and at the bar in the evenings.
• One pass per member.
• Please place the pass in a visible spot on the inside of your windshield.
• Vehicles without a pass may be subject to enforcement.

Please pick up your parking pass during regular office hours (Monday–Friday) or from the bartender outside of office hours.

Thank you for helping us protect parking for everyone in the Tam Heather community!

The Friday/Sunday Mixed Ladder has three teams that are looking for women players.  There are two vice and two lead positions. 

If you would be interested in joining a team this year please contact me as soon as possible. Also let me know if you have a preferred position.

Thanks Sue Sedor.

We are pleased to offer practice ice for our Tam Heather members to assist in getting the cob webs off your equipment and to get the muscles back in shape for the beginning of the curling season. 

1. You MUST log into the website to book practice ice.  See available practice ice times and sheets on desired day(s) that you would like to practice.
2. Daytime practice ice on Monday to Friday will be first come, first serve. No reservation required between the hours of 10:00am – 3:00pm.
3. Reservations are limited to a maximum of 4 players per sheet. If you wish to play a practice game (4 vs.4), perhaps consider reserving 2 sheets, using both sheets to practice for the first half hour, then all move to one sheet and play a game for the remaining half hour.
4. Practice sessions are 30 minutes in length.
5. Members are asked to limit their practice to 2 session per day
6. Please be sure to include the names of all your practice partner(s) on your reservation.

8. After one hour of perfecting your draw weight and enjoying being back on the ice, please exit the ice area in a timely matter for the next practice session to begin.
9. Unfortunately, bar and kitchen service are not yet available; so, we cannot invite you to stay for a drink or something to eat. We can only say how good it was to welcome you back and ask you to depart promptly in order that we start preparations for the next practice session. 

GOOD CURLING!!!

Dear Tam Heather Members,

We are excited to share some important news with you. The current tennis dome will be replaced this fall. As a result, the dome will be closed starting Monday, September 15th, with reopening to be confirmed.

• The existing dome will come down on Thursday, September 18th. weather permitting.
• The new dome is scheduled to be installed on Friday, September 19th, weather permitting.
• Temporary fencing will be installed in a section of the parking lot and around the perimeter of the dome. Please note that there will be no member access to the dome area during this time. A site map showing the fencing location is attached for your reference.

GameTime will remain available for court bookings until Sunday, September 14th.

The official launch of Jegysoft will be on Thursday, September 11th, at which time you’ll be able to update your profiles and enter your credit card information for future billing.

Courts will be available to book through Jegysoft once we have a confirmed reopening date for the dome. Stay tuned for updates!

The New Dome – Featuring Tedlar® Coating

The new dome will feature an upgraded Tedlar® coating, which offers a number of long-term benefits, including:

1. Extended Lifespan – Protects the dome fabric from cracking, fading, and brittleness, ensuring durability for many years.
2. Superior UV Protection – Blocks harmful UV rays, reducing sun damage and the need for early replacements.
3. Easier Maintenance – Non-stick and resistant to dirt, stains, and pollution, keeping the dome cleaner and easier to maintain.
4. Moisture & Chemical Resistance – Prevents damage from mold, mildew, and environmental pollutants.
5. Improved Appearance – Maintains a bright, clean look, preventing yellowing or fading over time.
6. Cost Savings – Reduces the frequency of major repairs or replacements, offering long-term value.
7. Sustainability – Extending the fabric’s lifespan reduces waste and environmental impact.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this exciting upgrade. We can’t wait to welcome you back on the courts under the brand-new Tam Heather Tennis Dome!

Hello Tam Tennis Ladies,

The Friday morning Women’s Recreational Doubles League is looking for two more regular players to complete the roster.

The league plays every Friday morning from 10:00am to 12:00pm.

If you’re interested or would like more information, please contact:

Leslie Ditta – This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

We've had a couple instances where tennis members are not following proper etiquette on the courts . Below are two paragraphs from our tennis policy as a reminder.  You can click HERE to see the full policy.

7. Start and Stop of Play

A warning bell will ring at 5 minutes to the hour. Players must vacate their court promptly when the 2^nd bell goes off on the hour, regardless of score.  Players who enter the bubble early are asked to remain on the bleachers until their start time and be respectful of the players on court 1.  In case a court is empty before or after the booked time, a five-minute grace period is permissible.  To enter or exit after the final bell, please do so without impacting / disrupting play on other courts. 

13. General Court Etiquette
    1. When entering or exiting your assigned court, wait until play has stopped before crossing an occupied court, and always cross quickly at the back, behind the players on that court.
    2. Please keep movement across other courts to a minimum. Emergency trips to the washroom occur, but be respectful of others.
    3. The default position for the divider nets is “Closed.” Please do not open the nets unless neighboring players are in full agreement.
    4. When a ball from your court enters another court, wait until play on the other court has stopped and then politely ask for the ball to be returned. Do not step onto another court while a point is in play.
    5. When a ball from another court has entered your court, return the ball promptly once a point has ended on your court and without disrupting a point on their court.
    6. Be aware of the brand and number on the balls you are using. When picking up a ball on your court, don’t just pocket it: check the brand and number. If it’s not yours, look around, as players on another court may be calling for it.
    7. Hang winter coats on the racks provided and leave outdoor shoes at the entrance so that clutter between courts is kept to a minimum.
    8. Have Fun (but never at the expense of others)!

Hello Tam Heather Members, 

Like most traveling teams, their goal was to secure as many wins as possible. That was the hope of Team Barbados, made up of players from various tennis clubs in Barbados and captained by Rosie Roach.

Wednesday evening got off to a late start for the opening ceremony due to players being stuck in traffic, but all four matches still began on time at 7:00 pm. Many spectators came out to support both teams, but by the end of play, Team Tam was leading with four match wins to Team Barbados’ zero.

On Day 2, Team Barbados reshuffled their lineup in hopes of earning a win or two, but Team Tam came out even stronger, once again winning 4–0.

On Day 3, the final day of competition, Team Barbados managed to secure two wins, including one from a Barbados Federation Cup player. Over the three days, the tennis was thrilling to watch, and spectators were treated to exciting matches from start to finish.

Congratulations go out to Team Tam and their two captains, Lorne and Colleen Devine.
