Welcome to Chiseldon Tennis Club

Court booking update

4th July 2020. The LTA has issued new guidelines about multiple group activity which includes club sessions, this means we need to issue new guidance as club sessions cannot take place in the way we are all used to.

- All 3 courts can be used, but players need to stay on the same court with the same group of players, they cannot switch with or interact with players on another court.
- Please add your name to the Whats App Group on the day of the session you want to attend(the day before for Sunday).
- Please message the What's App group immediately if you find you cannot attend so someone can take your place.
- As part of government Track & Trace we are required to have the names of all players who join these sessions, we will keep track of these using the What's App group.

In light of these guidelines we are going to run 3 multiple group activities - Tuesday 6.30pm - 9pm, Wednesday 6.30pm - 9pm and Sunday 10.30am-1pm. Play as a 4 - Stay as a 4 -Stay safe. We will update and adapt as new guidelines allow.

Welcome

Covid-19 Updated guidelines for Chiseldon Tennis Club. June 2020.

We may be missing Wimbledon this year but we have seen plenty of our own action and Chiseldon is certainly enjoying tennis. Since the recent recommencing of tennis play, we have seen plenty of activity on court; it is so great to see. Thank you to all members for your continued support.

Many requests were received from members to continue to support the club through membership, and for this reason we maintained the fee at the same level as last year. We were however, also understanding that due to these uncertain times, some members would need to wait and see what happens during the year. It was very heartening therefore to see that not only have almost all members re-joined, but that membership has increased! Thank you; we look forward to seeing you on court.

The Committee are constantly assessing government advice and guidance from the LTA.
- Pay and play is not available at present, we will provide an update here as and when we are able to re-introduce pay & play.
- Members must log in and book a court on the club website before turning up. They will not be able to turn up and play.
- Players must start at 5 minutes past booked time and finish 5 minutes before finish time - to allow safe changeover.
- Members are now permitted to play singles and doubles regardless of whether they are from the same household.
- Please still take care to maintain social distancing.
- You no longer have to use separate balls for each player, but you are reminded to wash hands as soon as you can, avoid touching your face and use hand sanitiser.
- Whilst we have tried to make sanitiser available, you are still advised to ensure you take your own antiseptic wipes and hand sanitiser.
- Nets will stay set at the correct height for play - please do not touch the nets, these will be checked regularly.
- Do not pick up balls that are not yours.
- Arrive changed and ready to get on court as there are no changing facilities.
