April Club News

Members: Please be sure to hang all brooms and rollers on the fence after use at Garfield. This allows for easy access to loose balls, safety and allows for proper drying of the equipment.
Survey results will be announced after April board meeting is rescheduled (Lack of a quorum). Thanks to 112 members for your input!
Garfield Park Update: During construction, no port-a-potty will be rented but the concession stand restroom will be made available. Benches will be temporarily removed so seating is BYO. Beware of on going construction. Lights post standards are already in place!
Two new court cameras will be installed at Garfield Park by mid-May at no cost to the club! See who is playing and court conditions with one click (See below). The old camera is now operational.
The second annual BCPC Night at the Curve Game will be on June 18. Save the date. Details coming soon.
BCPC will no longer be providing balls at Gorilla House. GH now has a cart of balls for patrons to use.
Be advised the combination for the court locks at Garfield Park will be changed monthly.
The courts are not ready at Geeseytown but they did pave the parking lot. Stay tuned for the grand opening.
April is National Pickleball Month. Let's Go!

June 5-8, 2025 Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship

This will be our 5th Anniversary of hosting this event. Last year we had over 600 people sign up, a new record. This will be a 4-day event again based on a round robin format that we implemented last year. Like last year we will be on 30 courts all with divided fences between courts and all with cabled nets (no soft nets). This year we will also have a money ball format and will have the 2025 Hall of Fame banner to highlight your success for future year. Sign up will start in Feb 2025 on Pickleballbrackets.com .
