West Van Tennis Club






SPRING is in the air, and soon the indoor courts at the West Vancouver Tennis Club will be converted to outdoor courts. But before we bid goodbye to winter, it was time for the club to hold its annual Club Tennis Championships. The finals were played last Sunday and the club put on a great awards party and reception to congratulate the winners. The wine and cheese affair was very well attended as club members handed out awards in each category. Door prizes were also given out to lucky winners.
