The Board would like to thank all of the candidates for their willingness to serve the Club.
We also received our new ball machine on Tuesday and 18 members were trained as trainers. Only trained members are allowed to use the machine. (These trainers can also train other members.) I have attached a list of the current trainers. As other members are trained this list will be updated and provided to the HOA front desk. The remote for the machine is kept at the front desk and only checked out to trained members.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact a Board Member.

We have found that people are not turning off the light or locking the shed after using the equipment. Can you please make sure you do that.
Also, the following information is important to know during and after using the Lobster Ball Machine.
Firstly, please be careful when bringing the machine in and out of the shed.
While using the machine, if you notice the lights flashing, warning that the battery is nearly dead, it is time to turn the machine off and be done. If you keep it running until the battery has totally died our charger is not strong enough to recharge a totally dead battery.
DO NOT LET THE BATTERY TOTALLY RUN OUT!!
If these things don't happen we will have to find an alternate way of handling use of the equipment which likely is not as convenient as using it whenever you would like. Thank you in advance.
