The Northern Virginia Table Tennis Club: James Lee Community Center

Attention Northern Virginia Table Tennis Players!

After a long period of negotiations with Fairfax County, we are very excited to announce a new "pilot" playing facility for our club!

Fairfax County facilities are reserved by seasons (4 per year) and Fairfax County has agreed to let our club use the facilities at James Lee Center for the playing season from March 15^th through June 15.

For the pilot period we will have the "small" gym at James Lee Center on Friday evenings from 6-9 PM. For those of you who have not seen this facility -- the "small" gym is probably 50% larger than the gym at Madison. We could comfortably fit 10 tables in this gym. It was just renovated and looks brand new. It has a hard surface floor, great lighting, bleachers along the side, and both a mens and womens locker room/shower/changing facility adjacent to the gym. The facility is located on Annandale Road about 2 blocks from Route 50. The address is 2855-A Annandale Road, Falls Church VA 22042.

Now the conditions:

	Since this is a Fairfax County facility there will be an additional charge to play at this facility. Per Fairfax County regulations the fees will be $5.50 per "season" PER Fairfax County resident. Non Fairfax County residents are charged at $25.50 per "season". For a full year of play at this facility, this would add up to $22 for Fairfax County residents and $102 for non Fairfax County residents.
	Anyone wishing to play at this facility must be an NVTTC member. If you're not yet a member or not current on your dues, you will need to be current before you will be allowed to use this new facility. Since we own the tables, we set the rules as well; same playing rules as we impose at Madison.
	The Fairfax County fees will be collected by the club and paid to Fairfax County (we are not making any money on that process). The County only accepts payment from the organization; not individuals. Fairfax County also requires the names of ALL participants before the season starts.
	All interested players MUST sign up AND submit the season's county fee BEFORE the beginning of the season. A form is attached to provide the necessary information, and Mike Brown (the club treasurer) will be taking payments.
	We know this is only one night a week currently; if we make a good showing with Fairfax County in the upcoming season we hope to expand to more days per week - and eventually to other facilities as well.
	If the pilot goes well players will have the opportunity to sign up for subsequent seasons. The next season starts June 15 so we will make a decision before then as to whether to pursue expanding further.
	We are required by the county to offer training from 6-7PM for any interested local teens or seniors. We will set designate one of our tables from 6-7 for this purpose and if anyone shows up for this training they will have precedence on this table. *We are also looking for volunteers to train these players; contact Enrique Matta if you are interested.
