Welcome to the Ottawa Tennis & Lawn Bowling Club
You've recently joined the Ottawa Tennis & Lawn Bowling Club. Welcome to your new "cottage in the city"!
Our club has so much to offer that it can sometimes be overwhelming at first glance. That's why we've put together this brief orientation to help you get the most out of your tennis and social experience at the Ottawa Tennis & Lawn Bowling Club this season.
Opening Day (Saturday May 3, 2008)
After the long snowy winter, it will be a long anticipated day of tennis. There will be introductions, refreshments, an open round-robin and many more activities. Your Tennis Executive will be there to meet and greet all members, new and returning alike. So come out and take a tour, meet some new people and of course play some tennis. Opening Day festivities commence around 10:00 AM.
Opening Night Dance (Saturday May 3, 2008)
Celebrate the kick-off of the summer tennis season at our annual Opening Night Dance. This event is open to members and friends alike. Action gets underway at 9 PM and continues until the early hours of the morning. Tickets will be available at the front desk closer to the event date and at the door the evening of the dance.
New Member Orientation Pub Nights (Wednesdays during May)
Pub Nights are a longstanding tradition at the OTLBC. Every Wednesday night after playing, members get together at the Cameron St. Café for a refreshing beverage or two and some good company. During the May pub nights, the Tennis Executive's New Member Chair, Marie, will be running an orientation. It is the perfect time to sign up for the New Member Round Robin or Matchmaker, ask questions and enjoy the cottage atmosphere.
New Member Round Robin (Thursday May 29, 2008)
The New Member Round Robin will be held on Thursday, May 29th and is always a hit! This is a great opportunity to meet other new members and play some tennis. The round-robin starts at 7 PM, followed by a visit to the balcony pub for refreshments and munchies. You can sign up at the front desk or at the New Member Orientation nights. Hope to see you all there.

Matchmaker Round Robin (Sunday June 8, 2008)
Looking for a game? The Matchmaker Round Robin is a great opportunity to meet and play new individuals in an organized fashion. Play starts at 3 PM. Sign up at the front desk or at the New Member Orientation nights.
Tennis Matchmaker
Looking for a game? Matchmaker is a great opportunity to play new individuals and organize games. Simply sign up at the front desk. A list of interested players is compiled from those who provide their email and/or phone numbers. This list is emailed, posted on the club bulletin and available at the front desk. Once you have your list, all that's left is to contact someone and arrange a game.
