SpORTS & OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES | FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | DECEMBER 2014 41 The history of Four Season's Beaumont Paddle Tennis: the courts sat empty of paddle tennis players for a few years, until our resident paddle tennis enthusiasts, Alan Chan, did some research on the sport. As the story goes, Alan saw that the paddle courts were not being used, got together six guys from the ping pong group, made a deal with a paddle tennis supplier to supply the paddles at a special price and started the paddle group. The group has grown over the post few years to approximately 30 plus players, both men and women, with all skill levels. Paddle Tennis has grown in popularity, and there have been new play times requested and approved. Published in the calendar of the Breeze times are: Cooler Months - Nov. 1 through March 31: Mondays: 8:30 – 10:30 am; 2 - 4 pm • Wednesdays: 2 - 4 pm • Fridays: 8:30 – 10:30 am; 2 - 4 pm • Sundays: 8:30 – 10:30 am; 2 - 4 pm Warmer Months - April 1 through Oct. 31: Mondays: 7 - 9 pm • Wednesdays: 7 - 9 pm • Fridays: 8:30 - 10:30 am; 7 - 9 pm • Sundays: 8:30 - 10:30 am; 7 - 9 pm New cover for court: all players are very excited about the new cover that was installed in late October 2014. Thank you to those who researched and had installed this beautiful cover; no Beaumont winds can take this down. It's been a great summer and I believe we all look forward to our upcoming winter even with the predications that we will have a wetter winter than normal. But I'm sure we all welcome filling our water reserves. Weather allowing, I hope we all will come out and play this fun and exhilarating game of paddle tennis. I'll be there with paddle in hand, looking forward to the exercise and to seeing friends who play. As a side note, there are some players who still work, so our current schedule doesn't allow them to have much play time; therefore, for those who are interested in playing early evenings other than the posted regular play times, contact me or Jim Cochran. And so for now, welcome all for good play, good times and good exercise. ~ Diana Johnson Ali Paddle Tennis Above (L-R): Phil Harris, Syed Ali, Shao Hong Jia Carrasco, Richard Carrasco, Alan Chan, Paco Paez, Diego Santos front row: Jim Cochran, Lyla and Niles Sunstrom.
