West Van Seniors Tennis






SINGLES, doubles, mixed doubles . . . tennis anyone? Last weekend the West Van Tennis Club hosted their annual seniors tennis tournament and, as usual, the turnout was large. The "Topseed Seniors Tennis Tournament" got off to a great start as the club put on a social evening to welcome everyone to the weekend. Complete with prizes, food, drinks and fun, players and their families got a chance to meet informally before putting on the whites and hitting the courts.
