9th Dec 2004: Time can be measured in many ways.  One, mostly inaccurate, way would be to measure the time between HTC newsletters.  Some would say it's 2 months, others quite rightly point out that sometimes it is 3 months.  Most agree though, this discussion is silly.  Please for your own sanity (and sense of the passage of time), read the December newsletter.

18th Nov 2004: Eastern Region Tennis is holding a twilight round robin tournament in January.  It is a doubles tournament accepting men's, ladies and mixed pairs of all standards.  The matches will start at 7:30pm, and the tournament runs on a Tuesday and Thursday evening; it should be a pleasant thing to do after work!  Entry forms are available here on the ERT website.
