The resurfacing of courts 3, 4, and 5 has now been completed. All 3 courts are available in the booking system on the website.

• Like all new artificial turf courts it'll take a while for each court to "settle-in", and in particular for the newly applied sand infill to become evenly distributed throughout the playing area for an even and consistent bounce.
• You can help by playing on the new courts as much as possible over the coming weeks. The club has agreed a quarterly court maintenance schedule with SWSG but, just as we do for the clay courts, we ask for your support to follow some standard court care procedures each time you play.
• Clear any plant debris before brushing - use the rubber rakes or club battery powered leaf blower to clear the court of any plant debris to help prevent it rotting-down into the court pile. Any plant debris around the perimeter / corner of the courts will be collected on a regular basis.
• Brush the court before play - brushing lifts the pile and helps the sand infill become / remain evenly distributed, prevents surface compaction, maintains drainage, and deters moss and algae growth. 
• Avoid leaving any food stuffs or food waste on the court - any organic matter which finds it's way into the court pile promotes moss and algae growth.

The new court brushes and rubber rakes are stored on court.

The battery powered leaf blower is stored in the men's changing room.

Thank you again for your patience and cooperation whilst the work has proceeded, and enjoy the new courts.
