Bellingham-Whatcom County Tourism is seeking input to determine the need for a Multi-purpose Event and Sports Facility. They invite the community to take an online survey by 11/11/19. For questions, please contact Eric Rainaud-Hinds at eric@bellingham.org or 360-671-3990 x 211.
FYI:
The Bellingham Pickleball Club has 325 people on it’s mailing list, and 250 current members (which includes some memberships from last year about to expire), We estimate that there are over 1000 folks who play pickleball in our county.

WHERE TO PLAY?
>We will soon be letting you know about upcoming evening sessions at FAIRHAVEN Middle School Gym, starting October 1st. (Tuesday evening will likely be 3.75+; Thursday will likely be dual sessions that cover the 2.5-3.5 range. We are hoping to also have a session for 2.0+.)
>We will also be working on a plan for some Saturday afternoon sessions @ MERIDIAN High Gym on 11/16, (possibly 11/23), 12/7, & 12/14 to start. For liability reasons, you will need to be or become a BPC member to participate @ school gyms. Stay tuned for all.
Sessions that don’t get enough sign-ups will be cancelled.
>The BHAM YMCA will be holding split sessions in the mornings, as usual.
>Plus the FERNDALE YMCA will now have:
Monday & Tuesday sessions for beginners (and likely novices welcome too). Wednesday & Friday afternoon sessions for “Intermediate”;
Thursday afternoon for “Advanced”.
Check out their schedules online.
>You can always check out links & info to local venues on “Places to Play” @ www.Bellinghampickleball.org . We will update it when we have more info.

SEASONAL CHANGES at CORNWALL
If you have a blower, squeegee, and/or broom, you are encouraged to bring it, especially after wind or rain. This autumn BPC will purchase a blower with rechargeable batteries, which will be stored in the lockbox. Let us know if you are a good candidate for taking a battery home regularly for recharging & return. (We will also get chargers.)
If you are a responsible BPC member who would like access to the horseshoe shed for squeegees, please let us know. Same if you wish to be considered for access to the lockbox.
The Wednesday afternoon Beginner/Novice session has primarily moved indoors. For more information on that, contact Barbara @ bagoebel@gmail.com . Two courts only with limited availability.
.
PLEASE NOTE: LIKELY UPCOMING RESPONSE & UPDATE DELAYS
Maggi (BPC Secretary & Communications Manager) will be out of town from late September through early November, and doing very minimal BPC related work. Barbara will monitor BPC emails, but expect potential delays and limited updates during that time. Thank you for your patience & understanding!

Thank you for you input & support!
