COVID-19 Update

The absolute priority of everyone in Britain needs to be protecting the health of the nation, with a requirement to dramatically adjust our behaviour to help slow the spread of the disease, prevent the NHS from being overwhelmed, and ultimately save lives. The way everyone can do this is complying with the Government’s guidance and staying at home.

Following the Prime Minister’s announcement on Monday evening (23 March) all tennis facilities and courts should be closed, and tennis coaching and activity should be put on hold with immediate effect.

The virus has come at a most inopportune time, as the new membership year is also upon us.  The Committee has made the decision to suspend the renewal process in April  until such time as we feel that it is appropriate to resume taking membership payments.   We are looking at offering a reduced membership at a further point in the year once the outbreak has passed its peak. 

The below quotation from Sport England we feel mirrors our philosophy in this time.  We are a sports club but also a social club and care about the physical and mental wellbeing of our members and enjoy playing tennis in each others’ company, and want to continue doing so for as long as we can. 

‘The coronavirus crisis is unprecedented in modern times and it could have a significantly negative impact on the nation’s physical activity levels.  We don’t want that to happen, so we'll do everything we can to support people to get and stay active – provided they are well enough.  That’s because physical activity matters during this period and, actually, we think it’s more important than ever right now.  Being active in a way that is right for you, can improve your physical health, help manage stress and anxiety and just generally make you feel better.’  (Sport England, sportengland.org)

Thank you all for your continued support of the club during this difficult time.   Stay safe.

Tim Buxton, Chairperson

For and on behalf of Calne Tennis Club Committee
