ATC and the Mardi Gras Masquerade Sexy Pop Sing-Along
Written by Eric Heeder
Hello Members,
The board is excited to announce our first ATC social of 2010. We are really thinking outside the box this year with some new and fresh activities for the club.
In observance of Fat Tuesday, we have purchased a block of tickets at the Alamo Ritz downtown for their MARDI GRAS MASQUERADE SEXY POP Sing-Along! For those of you who are not familiar with a sing along.. It is basically a theater full of people in masks, drinking and eating, singing along to sexy pop hits of current and past while watching the videos on the big screen. I have attended many sing alongs in the past and can say they are a blast and always a night to remember. Masquerade masks are suggested but not required. I will buy a beer for any member who wears one!!!
We will be meeting at the Rusty Spurr around 8:00 pm for cocktails prior to the show. It is always a good idea to get a little loose before sing along, after all, who wants to be belting out Madonna or Justin Timberlake without a little buzz??
- Cost:$12.00 - Bring $12 cash to event as we have prepurchased tickets
- Date:Tuesday Feb 16th (Fat Teusday)
- Time:9:30
- Location:Alamo Ritz on 6th
If you are interested in attending, please RSVP under the ATC events tab. Please be sure you have signed up under the Events Tab as there is a separate registration and password for that system. Some members have been having issues with the RSVP, be sure you are registered properly.
We appreciate your support of Austin Tennis Club and Hope to see you at the event.
We had a huge response to the email I sent out regarding drill sessions for ATC. I have firmed up the details and drills will begin weekly starting Monday February 1st. Jayne Clark will be our instructor and as I mentioned in my earlier email, she is a great coach with heavy focus on competition and match play tennis. I have noticed a huge improvement in my game since working with Jayne and think she will be huge asset to improving the tennis of ATC. Be sure to sign up for the session that is appropriate for your level. Drills are most effective for everyone with players of the same skill set. Jayne will advise you if she thinks you need to be in a different session.
- Location:Pharr Tennis Center
- 3.5-4.0 Drills: Monday evenings from 7:30-9:00, Cost $15.00 per person
- 3.0 Drills: Thursday evenings 7:00-8:30 Cost $15.00 per person.
Starting off, we will send an RSVP email. It will go out a few days before the drill class, the first 8 members to sign up via the events page make it for that session. Cancellations must be done by 12:00 noon on the day of drills or you are still responsible to pay the $15.00 fee. If you must cancel I would greatly appreciate you taking it upon yourself to find a replacement at your same level and notifying me via email (assuming there is no one on the "wait list" for the evening).
Keep your eyes out for the weekly RSVP email.
Hi there folks! As you can see, we're doing a bit of upgrading around here.
One of the biggest changes (and my favorite, by far) is the new ATC Events Page! Now, you'll have a list of ATC events coming up in the future. All of the ATC events will be listed, including Friday Night Tennis Socials, ATC Drill Classes, social events, and more.
As more and more things happen, we'll be keep posting them for you all to RSVP your spot. There's a brief sign up the first time you use the event registration page, but it should only take a few seconds. Once you're registered, you'll be able to sign up for any of the events listed. If the event is already full, register anyway. You'll be added to the waitlist. If someone cancels, you'll be moved up to the confirmed list and an email will go out to let you know! Also, if you have RSVP'd for something but realize you won't be able to make it, PLEASE come back and delete your reservation so someone else will get moved up.

Hey tennis fans! It's that time of year again! that time of year when we're glued to our TV's at random hours in the middle of the night. That time of year we become incredibly unproductive at work in the mornings because we're watching video clips of the action we're missing on TV.
Yup, it's time for the Australian Open this year! Coverage starts on Sunday evening at 6pm (that's 11am Monday morning in Melbourne in case international time zones confuse you as much as they confuse me). Every Slam, the Tennis Channel runs a contest for its viewers to see who can pick the most winners/upsets/losers in the men's and women's draw. Think you've got what it takes to pick the winners? We've set up a private pool for ATC members and friends that you can enter in your picks.
Yeah, guessing which man and which woman will win their draws out of a field of 128 people is a pretty big challenge. Tennis Channel is giving away prizes to the person that scores highest on their challenge. If you enter ATC's private pool, you might have a chance to win something as well... maybe.
Use the links below to submit your picks and track how well you're doing once the tournament gets going. After you submit your picks to the ATC private pool, don't forget to click the button that will also submit them to the Tennis Channel's main pool. Hurry, you only have until Sunday, January 17 at 6:00pm to submit your draw!
Have fun! Let's see who comes out on top!
