Tennis: Mixed Doubles - Tennis Doubles: Player Summer 2025 Session I
We welcome all men’s, women’s, mixed, and youth tennis doubles teams and individuals. If you do not have a partner, we will assign one who is similar to your level. This league is for all levels, from beginners to advanced, who want to enjoy tennis and meet new people in our community. During the first 2-3 weeks, we will run a round-robin tournament (short set games) to get a chance to meet everyone in the program and to determine your seed in the ladder. The seeding will determine which court you will start the following week. The top two teams will start on court 1, the next two teams will start on court 2 and so on. When the first match is over, the winning team from court 2 will move up to court 1 and the loosing team from court 1 will move down to court 2 and likely with the other courts. This will allow you to play teams at your level and move your way up to the ladder as you get better. You will play 4 matches (short set games) every week and the game scores will reflect the points earned for each match. For example, if the final score was 4:2, the winning team earns 4 points and the loosing team earns 2 points. Points for every match will be recorded, and the cumulative points will decide the seeding for the following week. If you miss a week, your team will get 0 points; please try to secure a sub from the sub list to avoid this! The seeding in the ladder and the cumulative points will be posted each week.RulesShort set games: First team to win 4 games, tie breaker at 3 all (first team to get 5 points with no deuce) Substitution rules: Must be registered online before the session starts and can only play if a team needs a partner due to absence.

Tennis: Mixed Doubles - Tennis Doubles: Player Summer 2025 Session I
We welcome all men’s, women’s, mixed, and youth tennis doubles teams and individuals. If you do not have a partner, we will assign one who is similar to your level. This league is for all levels, from beginners to advanced, who want to enjoy tennis and meet new people in our community. During the first 2-3 weeks, we will run a round-robin tournament (short set games) to get a chance to meet everyone in the program and to determine your seed in the ladder. The seeding will determine which court you will start the following week. The top two teams will start on court 1, the next two teams will start on court 2 and so on. When the first match is over, the winning team from court 2 will move up to court 1 and the loosing team from court 1 will move down to court 2 and likely with the other courts. This will allow you to play teams at your level and move your way up to the ladder as you get better. You will play 4 matches (short set games) every week and the game scores will reflect the points earned for each match. For example, if the final score was 4:2, the winning team earns 4 points and the loosing team earns 2 points. Points for every match will be recorded, and the cumulative points will decide the seeding for the following week. If you miss a week, your team will get 0 points; please try to secure a sub from the sub list to avoid this! The seeding in the ladder and the cumulative points will be posted each week.RulesShort set games: First team to win 4 games, tie breaker at 3 all (first team to get 5 points with no deuce) Substitution rules: Must be registered online before the session starts and can only play if a team needs a partner due to absence.

Tennis: Mixed Doubles - Tennis Doubles: Player Summer 2025 Session I
We welcome all men’s, women’s, mixed, and youth tennis doubles teams and individuals. If you do not have a partner, we will assign one who is similar to your level. This league is for all levels, from beginners to advanced, who want to enjoy tennis and meet new people in our community. During the first 2-3 weeks, we will run a round-robin tournament (short set games) to get a chance to meet everyone in the program and to determine your seed in the ladder. The seeding will determine which court you will start the following week. The top two teams will start on court 1, the next two teams will start on court 2 and so on. When the first match is over, the winning team from court 2 will move up to court 1 and the loosing team from court 1 will move down to court 2 and likely with the other courts. This will allow you to play teams at your level and move your way up to the ladder as you get better. You will play 4 matches (short set games) every week and the game scores will reflect the points earned for each match. For example, if the final score was 4:2, the winning team earns 4 points and the loosing team earns 2 points. Points for every match will be recorded, and the cumulative points will decide the seeding for the following week. If you miss a week, your team will get 0 points; please try to secure a sub from the sub list to avoid this! The seeding in the ladder and the cumulative points will be posted each week.RulesShort set games: First team to win 4 games, tie breaker at 3 all (first team to get 5 points with no deuce) Substitution rules: Must be registered online before the session starts and can only play if a team needs a partner due to absence.

Trail Trekkers - Trail Trekkers: Wednesday, 6/18/25 at 10:00 a.m.
"WALK JUST FOR THE HEALTH OF IT"Our Mission: To promote healthy lifestyles for all ages by providing a variety of interesting walking events in the Cheshire area with opportunities for education, socialization and exploration. Our Goal: To provide venues for all trekkers to connect and socialize at our walking events, while group leaders present interesting topics during walks. Walks are scheduled on the first Saturday and third Wednesday of each month. In case of inclement weather, the Parks & Recreation Department will announce the cancellation no sooner than 24 hours in advance, but usually a few hours before the walk. In case of a cancellation due to inclement weather, whenever possible, the makeup will be held at the same time, day of the week and location the following week. Occasionally, makeups will not be possible. Preregister to attend each walk and receive updates on specific meeting location and any changes to the schedule via email. Participants should dress for the day's weather, wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water. Sunscreen and bug spray are suggested. If you have binoculars, you may want to bring them too! "THE BEST TRAIL MIX OF ALL...CHESHIRE'S!!!"Upcoming Events: Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 10:00 a.m.Location: Cheshire Patriot TrailLeader: Ron GagliardiNotes: Park at the Cheshire Town Hall (84 S. Main St.). Once gathered, Ron Gagliardi will lead the group on a walk highlighting several of the sites included on The Cheshire Patriot Trail.

Watercolor - Line, Wash & a Bit of Gouache
Exploring Watercolor - This class explores the many joys and challenges of painting with watercolor. Each week will include a short demo to get us warmed up and instructor suggestions for paintings which may span more than one class. Students may bring their own reference or simply choose to work from the provided ideas. Whether you are new to this medium or just want to dedicate time during your week to practice and improve your skill, this class offers something for you. Join me while we explore a variety of techniques and subjects. Students will be encouraged to work on composition and values as well as color mixing and water control. We will mainly focus on landscapes, but this will vary depending upon class input and interests. So come and join us for a bit of escape, fun and play with this magical medium. Instructor: Bonny Hartigan (6 weeks)Focus and Highlights - Learn to use mixed media to create a floral image with a bee. Show some elements in sharp focus in the foreground and other elements blurred in the background. Use watercolor, colored pencil and pen to great effect on watercolor paper. Discover some new techniques that you can apply to your other work. All supplies, along with a frame and mat, are included. Instructor: Agnes Wnuk (1 day)Line, Wash and a Bit of Gouache - Have you ever wondered about using other mediums with your watercolors? This class will explore some options while using fine line pens and some gouache to add to your watercolor, which creates a whole new look from traditional transparent watercolor. Summer is a fine time to experiment, relax and play while creating your artwork. Instruction is based on instructor demonstration along with student practice. We will use all three mediums in varying degrees while creating images inspired by the natural world around us. (we may even add a bit of colored pencil) Beginners and experienced painters are welcome. It is great fun trying different supplies and combining them with transparent watercolor. Instructor: Bonny Hartigan (6 weeks)

Tennis: Mixed Doubles - Tennis Doubles: Player Summer 2025 Session I
We welcome all men’s, women’s, mixed, and youth tennis doubles teams and individuals. If you do not have a partner, we will assign one who is similar to your level. This league is for all levels, from beginners to advanced, who want to enjoy tennis and meet new people in our community. During the first 2-3 weeks, we will run a round-robin tournament (short set games) to get a chance to meet everyone in the program and to determine your seed in the ladder. The seeding will determine which court you will start the following week. The top two teams will start on court 1, the next two teams will start on court 2 and so on. When the first match is over, the winning team from court 2 will move up to court 1 and the loosing team from court 1 will move down to court 2 and likely with the other courts. This will allow you to play teams at your level and move your way up to the ladder as you get better. You will play 4 matches (short set games) every week and the game scores will reflect the points earned for each match. For example, if the final score was 4:2, the winning team earns 4 points and the loosing team earns 2 points. Points for every match will be recorded, and the cumulative points will decide the seeding for the following week. If you miss a week, your team will get 0 points; please try to secure a sub from the sub list to avoid this! The seeding in the ladder and the cumulative points will be posted each week.RulesShort set games: First team to win 4 games, tie breaker at 3 all (first team to get 5 points with no deuce) Substitution rules: Must be registered online before the session starts and can only play if a team needs a partner due to absence.

Watercolor - Line, Wash & a Bit of Gouache
Exploring Watercolor - This class explores the many joys and challenges of painting with watercolor. Each week will include a short demo to get us warmed up and instructor suggestions for paintings which may span more than one class. Students may bring their own reference or simply choose to work from the provided ideas. Whether you are new to this medium or just want to dedicate time during your week to practice and improve your skill, this class offers something for you. Join me while we explore a variety of techniques and subjects. Students will be encouraged to work on composition and values as well as color mixing and water control. We will mainly focus on landscapes, but this will vary depending upon class input and interests. So come and join us for a bit of escape, fun and play with this magical medium. Instructor: Bonny Hartigan (6 weeks)Focus and Highlights - Learn to use mixed media to create a floral image with a bee. Show some elements in sharp focus in the foreground and other elements blurred in the background. Use watercolor, colored pencil and pen to great effect on watercolor paper. Discover some new techniques that you can apply to your other work. All supplies, along with a frame and mat, are included. Instructor: Agnes Wnuk (1 day)Line, Wash and a Bit of Gouache - Have you ever wondered about using other mediums with your watercolors? This class will explore some options while using fine line pens and some gouache to add to your watercolor, which creates a whole new look from traditional transparent watercolor. Summer is a fine time to experiment, relax and play while creating your artwork. Instruction is based on instructor demonstration along with student practice. We will use all three mediums in varying degrees while creating images inspired by the natural world around us. (we may even add a bit of colored pencil) Beginners and experienced painters are welcome. It is great fun trying different supplies and combining them with transparent watercolor.

Tennis: Mixed Doubles - Tennis Doubles: Player Summer 2025 Session I
We welcome all men’s, women’s, mixed, and youth tennis doubles teams and individuals. If you do not have a partner, we will assign one who is similar to your level. This league is for all levels, from beginners to advanced, who want to enjoy tennis and meet new people in our community. During the first 2-3 weeks, we will run a round-robin tournament (short set games) to get a chance to meet everyone in the program and to determine your seed in the ladder. The seeding will determine which court you will start the following week. The top two teams will start on court 1, the next two teams will start on court 2 and so on. When the first match is over, the winning team from court 2 will move up to court 1 and the loosing team from court 1 will move down to court 2 and likely with the other courts. This will allow you to play teams at your level and move your way up to the ladder as you get better. You will play 4 matches (short set games) every week and the game scores will reflect the points earned for each match. For example, if the final score was 4:2, the winning team earns 4 points and the loosing team earns 2 points. Points for every match will be recorded, and the cumulative points will decide the seeding for the following week. If you miss a week, your team will get 0 points; please try to secure a sub from the sub list to avoid this! The seeding in the ladder and the cumulative points will be posted each week.RulesShort set games: First team to win 4 games, tie breaker at 3 all (first team to get 5 points with no deuce) Substitution rules: Must be registered online before the session starts and can only play if a team needs a partner due to absence.
