We are delighted to be able to confirm that our Guy Fawkes celebration is back.  This will take place on Saturday 13^th November.

Could you please:

1. Pass this on to anyone you know who is not a Member of the Club … this is how many current Members first learned about the Club so we hope to meet some future Members for the first time.
2. Sign up on the HelloAsso site linked below and referenced in the attached poster (Guy_Fawkes_211113.pdf).  Please also pre-reserve food so that the logistics are smoother on the night, and we can better plan the catering.

Looking forward to seeing as many of us as possible gathered together on the night.

The Management Team

The Halloween party took place on Wednesday afternoon with over 35 children participating from more than 15 families.
Although there was no service at the bar, members were able to organize tea and provide for fresh water and other needs. The last session of the Cariole's Tennis School in Halloween mode took place at the same time.
There was music and fun, and balloons and pumpkins so the kids had a great time.
All resulting from good coordination between the Tennis School and the Children & Teens Committee. Read on to see some photos.

Last Sunday (17th), Gaspar Lavigne, Kimi Freiha and Väinö Kaupilla represented the SAC at the Ken Chervet junior squash tournament in Chaville, in the U15/U17/U19 category. Gaspar had difficult matches against more experienced players, but I think he enjoyed taking part in his first tournament. Väinö and Kimi did especially well for their first official tournament, as they finished respectively 11^th out of 23, with 3 victories out of 5 matches and 15^th with 2 victories out of 5 matches. They might have done even better with a luckier draw, as they both played the 2 finalists in their second-round matches. Congratulations to our junior squash players!
