From Monday October 16th, the week immediately prior to the school half-term, we are planning a WORKING PARTY WEEK to get the clubhouse & courts ready for the winter. We would like to plan activities around times adjacent to club sessions but also some times where more members are available & many hands make light work! 

CLUBHOUSE

Broken & Perspex Window Pane Replacement (6)

Painting Windows, inside & out

Cleaning Windows, inside & out

Cleaning &/or Painting Walls Inside 

General Cleaning

Fix Water Heater & dripping external pipe (side nearest courts) 

Updating Noticeboards - we need to make these more specific to the user groups within the club & inviting new members into those user groups, promoting contact groups e.g. WhatsApp groups. Information specific to Adults, Juniors & Mini's, New member welcome information & how the club is run e.g. coaches, committee, key contacts for each activity group, e.g. club sessions & competition age groups - PARTIALLY DONE, NEED CONTENT IDEAS!

UPDATE: Two new noticeboards have been added, one with a full 12 month calendar for event marking & one giant wipeboard for quick notices & ideas suggestions

FENCING REPAIRS including gates. For instance, there are a number of old padlocks that need removing & some improvements to the bottom fence line to stop escaping balls & some small holes in the fencing that can be remedied before they get bigger. Some wire work may be possible, although we are looking at contractors for larger repair jobs
