Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Pecuniary Pickleballers Protest Msg# 1200005

Pickle preceded platform at the complex?? I guess I was wrong about the timing but I remember playing tennis regularly and looking over at the hut. And using the ball machine and lessons on the hard courts before they were utilizing the movable nets for the first pickle players.
I moved the courts over to Manklin in about 1990 or so. It was after the Turnover Agreement was signed. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: You have said that the "good old days" were when it was just tennis and platform? What's changed? When you had tennis moved to Manklin Meadows, platform remained at Swim & Racquet complex. When pickleball was added as an entirely new amenity about 10 years ago, the board made a mistake and started two separate memberships. The net result was an ongoing battle between the two groups. Then platform was moved to Manklin. It continues unabated. A single membership, cost aside, for all three sports would, over time, eliminate that social cancer. It is real and board members may not even know it exists. |
