Hill & Valley Lawn Tennis Club

SAFEGUARDING
We are an inclusive club and will not tolerate any discrimination, bullying or abusive behaviour at the club. It is the responsibility of each member to be familiar with and adhere to our policies which are on display in the clubhouse and on the website, click HERE.

SAFETY
Players play at their own risk and have to take responsibility for their own safety. It is the players’ responsibility to decide if the courts are safe and fit for use. The courts drain very well but please be aware that in the case of wet or icy conditions the courts can be slippery and in winter it can take time for frost/ice to clear due to the high hedge and the ice is not always visible.

There is a First Aid Box in the clubhouse. If any items are used please inform a committee member so they can be replenished. There is a defibrillator at the village hall entrance.

In injury or accident occurs, please complete an accident report form which is in the back of the green safeguarding folder in the clubhouse and please inform a committee member immediately.

Brushes are in the clubhouse as well as a leaf blower; please ensure it is put back on charge after use.
