Health and Safety
As a small club, we rely on the generous efforts of volunteers to maintain and operate the club. As such, we ask members, coaches and guests to proactively consider the health, safety and wellbeing of themselves and others when using club facilities and report any concerns to a member of the club committee.
Members, coaches and guests are asked to enter any health and safety incidents in the accident book, held in the club house next to the courts, or report them directly to a member of the club committee.
Our club holds venue insurance through it’s accreditation with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA). Details of this can be obtained via the LTA.
The risk assessment for use of the club facilities is located at the link below. All members are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the contents.
