Last year's excessive rain worked out at the maximum number of days lost to tennis since I started to record in 1998: precise figures for weather in Cannes are now available at http://cannesmeteo.com/which gives 743 mm of rain for 2010. This year started badly with already 22 mm, which didn't help the clay courts, our matches, nor the restaurant. The good news is that the courts are being repaired & should be ready for the weekend; and that our new
restaurateurs, Isabelle & family, are well in control of the situation indoors.
This would seem the time, members & friends, to get back on court, warm up those neglected muscles, volley & smash your way to your first victory of the year; & then to repair to the bar & restaurant to celebrate with a good lunch! Good reports on the food are already coming in thick & fast: the menu will change from day to day, with entrĂ©e & plat principal at 15€, with an extra 4€ if you want a dessert. You can choose main course only for 12€. The quality is described as excellent, so what are you waiting for?
