OK, so it may not be the end of the outdoor tennis season quite yet, but we still call it the “End of Season Party”! Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 20th, 6:30-11pm, to join members and friends for an evening of food, music and fun. A buffet dinner, complete with appetizers, entrees, dessert, beer, wine, etc., and DJ music will make this event at the Club a festive evening. Members, contributing members, & guests are welcome. Spread the word to those who may not play at the club on a regular basis … please support our social activities! Cost will be $35 per person - make checks payable to Haddon Field Club and send to Club treasurer, Jane Berkowitz/63 Chestnut St/Haddonfield, NJ 08033.

Super Senior Tournament 2008
The Super Senior Tournament will be held at the Club the week of Sept.29th, 2008. This is a popular event with great people and ’super’ tennis. Tournament matches will start at 10am so members can get their social games in early. Volunteers are ALWAYS welcome! Please consider helping out with sweeping courts, answering the phone, assisting out of town players, preparing and/or cleaning up from light food provided, etc. … every little bit helps! It’s guaranteed to be a fun time. For more information or to volunteer, call Mark Forrester: 856-313-4664.
Junior Tournament Summary:
The Junior Tournament held July 14 - 17th went well despite a 3 hour rain delay Monday morning. Between the weather and a conflict with a team tennis competition, the tournament did not wrap up until Friday. The players had no problems with line calls and generally exhibited excellent sportsmanship, often applauding their opponents good shots. Many thanks to Jeff for all his hard work in running this tournament and encouraging young people to participate in this wonderful, lifetime sport. Please continue to support club tournaments - they are a good opportunity to ’showcase’ our club and hopefully bring in new, active members.
” I wish to extend special thanks to club pro Carol MacLennan for giving the director a TDM (Tournament Data Manager) lesson before the tournament; club member Kathleen Burns and her daughters, Meghan and Kade, for volunteering to dry the courts and handle phone calls during Monday’s rain delay; club member Louise Senopoulos for assisting with the purchase of food and bottled water for the players; and club members Mark Forrester and Ray Karcher for devoting many hours to court maintenance.” -Jeff Holman-
