President’s Pitch



Happy Holidays!

 

Just a few reminders before we  head out to celebrate the Christmas season with family and friends!

 

The last tournament for 2025 is the Winter Freeze single tournament, I will be running that one, with music and festive cheer! Please bring a dish to share. Then it will be 3 weeks until the next tournament on January 10th, the New Year’s Doubles. Remember to renew your 2026 membership before then.

 

The 2026 membership application is available at Knaub arena, or you can download a copy from the CHPA website.  You can also RENEW your membership from the NHPA website. 

 

The NHPA is now accepting Early Bird entries of $150 for adults going to the 2026 World Tournament. The deadline for this rate is December 31, 2025.  After that it will be the regular fee of $170 for adults and $25 for cadets/juniors.  The World Tournament will be in Wausau, Wisconsin, July 13 thru 25th. Visit the NHPA website for more information and to register online.

 

The NHPA will be launching their new website on December 1st.  So, visit often to see the changes they have made. 

 

The CHPA would like to wish you a fun-filled Holiday season and brightest wishes for a Happy New Year.


That’s it for now.  See you at the pits.
