I received the email yesterday. So I will be unsuspending my membership this morning when they open up.
My town has 7 COVID infections (out of 28,000) and my state has a total of 240 infections so I'm not that worried. We were at 219 infections and then colleges opened up and our infections jumped by 30 yesterday. The YMCA also has branches in the city to our south - this city has 80,000 people and 6 infections. Our state has the second-lowest number of infections in the country. Vermont is first with about 130 cases and Maine has about 420 cases.
So I'm happy that we can play indoors again though there's still plenty of time to play outdoors. The nice thing is that they place is usually empty during the day so we can just go in during the day and play with no court fees. Court fees are normally $12/hour. This place is normally packed in the evening as court fees run $26 - $35 at the other indoor tennis places in the area. There's plenty of evening contract time available (8 slots) but I think that we'd be better playing during the day as there are far fewer people and it's, you know, free. So light at the end of the tunnel. Finally.
The club allowed me to suspend my membership until the end of August - I would have to renew by September or lose my membership and have to sign up again - there's an initiation fee though it isn't that much. I also get pool, two or three indoor tracks, cardio, weights, etc. I don't know if I'll use those aspects though. I lost my job four weeks ago so my days are free outside of trading.
So is your tennis center opening up or has it already opened up?
