Wed, Nov. 26th - Salem Gym

There were 13 dedicated players out last night, compared to the 28+ players that were out on Mon evening. Nice to see new players out, like Thomas and the Troung family. Three courts were used from 8 to 10 PM. Play through each court cycled quickly, with little time for rest. For example, you would sit down for a brief rest and then another court would end their game and ask you to join. Memorable games for me were had against Saeed and Christian, two of our group's more competitive players. They are always a tough match. I think Christian's new paddle was the difference :) Another fun game was with Thomas, Ben and Allan. We had several long rallies and it seemed that we were often targeting either Ben or Allen, so each had to work hard to keep the rally going. In the end, the game finished at 11-8. I had to leave early so missed the final few games.

Another update relevant to play at MTA gym. Beginning in January parking fees will be charged for use of the university lots, basically $2/hr or a monthly ($32.50) or annual pass will be required. See https://mta.ca/parking for details. We will update members on this soon as this change will impact the cost and also convenience of indoor play at the MTA gym's 6 courts.
