Tennis, sailing and minigolf: three new summer activities

The Friends of the Beach, chaired by Jean-Pierre Delobel, announced three novelties for July and August: a tennis court, a relaunched sailing club and a minigolf course.

The municipality had entrusted the court to the Friends of the Beach by convention. The cards from the Omaha tennis club were picked up at the campsite or at the beach bazaar, at Mr. Delobel's house, with a reservation board at the grocery store located in front of the court. For people outside the municipality, the rates announced were 200 F per year, 160 F per month, 80 F per week and 45 F for an hour of course.

The nautical club, previously active and then in difficulty, had been reconstituted on the initiative of several people and the municipality. Mr. Viejot was president and Mr. Soudon treasurer. Graduate instructors Ronan Prigent, 23, and Pierre Soubirou, 24, led the activities. A first Optimist internship brought together seven students; it had to be renewed every week for the ten-fourteen years.

Daily windsurfing lessons, in initiation or improvement, cost 400 F for five hours, equipment included. A rate of 50 F per hour was announced to equipped practitioners. The offer included an introduction to funboard. The club had a Caravelle, a 420, a four-meter and a security zodiac. A regatta was scheduled for August 15.

Alain Racine, a young resident of the municipality, had created a fifteen-hole minigolf near the pier, open from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. at a rate of 15 F per player. The initiative union informed vacationers every day from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Finally, the sea rescue association, chaired by Régis Legallois, worked with two lifeguards during the summer and had a new zodiac. Three interventions had already taken place since the beginning of the month for plankers or a boat with a broken engine.

Reconstructed or uncertain passages:
- The name of the file is 2004, but the denomination does not give a year and announces rates in francs. It is therefore not dated 2004 in the rewriting. All schedules and rates are those of this old program.
