DEMO PADDLES:
The Demo Paddles are now available and hanging in the Hut.  We have a wide variety to try out! All paddles have been engraved as an FC Demo (thanks to Will Plaut!)   If you try out a paddle- PLEASE return it to the wall in its appropriate place!   Paddles are not to leave the FC!  

If you are interested in buying a new paddle, please fill out the form that will be by the demo wall.   It is important to PRINT your name on the order form along with the date.  Place the form in the drawer in the kitchen where balls are purchased.   Dan will order and contact the member when paddle arrives.
Our Demo Paddles will be available to purchase around the February time frame at a discounted price.  We will inform members when that window opens. Any questions, please contact Jenn Willson.

Friendly Reminder when purchasing paddle balls – When filling out slips for paddle balls, PRINT legibly and date the slip.
