Tuxedo Tennis Clubhouse Update

Well we are making some progress on this wonderful project!! On June 4 the City of Winnipeg approved our plans to remove our existing clubhouse and replace it with a newer model!!

Plans are for our clubhouse to be taken down on June 27, and then the following 2 weeks there will be lots of construction going on as we sink piles, have a foundation built and get things ready. Those who have been at the club will note we have cleaned out the old clubhouse and started to prepare for this. We have a temporary building rented to act as the clubhouse during this process.

Our patience will then be tested as we wait for the foundation to cure, and then towards the end of July we will have the new structure moved onto our property. While this structure has washroom facilities and plumbing, we won’t be able to use those until we get sewer and water connected. We have funding for this but we are still in the preliminary phases of getting this sorted out. Hopefully later this summer or early fall we’ll have running water and plumbing!

Your patience is appreciated while we go through this process.

What can you do?

We will be looking for donations of lounging furniture, tables and chairs for sitting at for post match analysis, as well as hopefully enjoying a beverage or two. Those that are so inclined are welcome to give their input into what our new space will look like as we work to improve our club. We are taking on some debt for this project so those interested in contributing, there are opportunities to obtain charitable donations for your generosity. Please let any member of the board know what you could do to help, or if you have any questions.

On behalf of the board,
Tom Neufeld, President, Tuxedo Tennis Club
