First, Friday evening play has stopped again for basketball season. Table tennis should be starting up again around March 29.

There have been some developments regarding restoration of our pre-pandemic weekend hours. The GLTTC, together with our fiscal sponsor, Seattle Parks Foundation (SPF), applied for a "service contract" in September that would allow for a reduced rental cost on weekends. Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) responded on November 27 with a draft contract offering Saturday play from 5 pm to 9 pm. We objected to the the stated rental cost and the requirement to eliminate use of the kanban system (including on Tuesdays!). The GLTTC responded this week with an edited contract, and an explanatory letter. Both the explanatory letter and the edited contract are attached, and also available on the weekends tab on our website.
