1. Two Locations and Prices to Choose From!
1. St Thomas Aquinas Secondary School
When: Saturdays 9-11-am and Sundays 2-4-pm with alternating levels.
Beginning: Sunday January 4th
Registration: the Thursday before, at 7-pm, beginning January 1st
Cost: $3.50 plus processing fees for two hours
Ratio: 30 players on 6 courts for two hours
Format: Hosted Rotational play. Beginners/Low intermediates, and High Intermediates/Advanced Players will alternate Saturdays and Sunday sessions. This could change depending on demand.
Cancellation/Refund Policy: No refund.
.
2. Fairgrounds at Capilano Mall
When: Mondays 10-noon, Tuesdays 1-3-pm and Thursdays 10-noon with alternating levels.
Beginning: Monday January 12
Registration: the Thursday 10+ days before, at 7-pm, beginning January 1st
Cost: See below. Sorry, Fairground passes can NOT be applied to these sessions. No substitutions.
Format/Ratio/Cost:
- Rotational Play = 30 players on 6 courts for two hours; Cost = $16.80 plus processing fees ($1.32)
- Round Robin, DUPR and King = 24 players on 6 courts for two hours; Cost = $21.00 plus fees
Demand will be monitored and this could be tweaked. Number of courts may also be reduced if the session doesn’t fill.
Cancellation/Refund Policy: Two factors:
1. NSPC is on the hook for court costs unless we give 7-days notice.
2. Its volunteers like Vyna and I who have to administer the playing and waitlists.
So while this formula may change for the February sessions, lets try this:
- Full refund less processing fees if your spot is cancelled before Wednesday 9-am the week before.
- Between Wednesday and Sunday 9-am, amount to Be Determined.
- After Sunday 9-am, no refund.
.
2. How To Register:
Go to the Member’s Zone of the NSPC website and sign in.
A new password will be sent out January 1st!! Watch for it!
Then open the INDOOR CALENDAR.
3. Are You A Member for 2026?

4. Happy 100th Birthday Elmer Helm!
Elmer came to check out the new courts during our Winter Party at Fairgrounds. Here he is with longtime fellow tennis advocates and pickleball players John Kennedy and Maureen Jarman.
Elmer was the original NS racquets advocate, being pivotal in getting the tennis center built! Read the story HERE.
BTW … NSPC members contributed $441 to the Christmas Bureau and a cart-load of winter clothing to Family Services of the NS at the Winter Party.
