Court Booking

1. Please use our online court booking system.  Court bookings will always have priority, and it is now a club requirement that courts are booked in advance.  There is also a handy booking app that you can download too for your smartphone.
2. You may book up to 7 days in advance and can book a maximum of 2 hours in any one session.
3. You can book a maximum of 4 times in 2 days.
4. The court will become available to others if it is not being used after 15 minutes.

Guests

1. There is a charge of £3 (£2 juniors under 18) payable in respect of a non-member playing as a guest of a member.  For the avoidance of doubt, for example if the member invites 3 adult non-members the fee due will be £9.  Please transfer the appropriate amount to the Club’s Bank Account (Account Number 60557846, Sort Code 208573).  An adult member may bring up to 3 guests (junior members 1 playing guest if supervised by an adult).
2. The same guests can only play a maximum of 3 times in any 12 month period.

Dress

1. Dress for all members should be tennis wear / sports wear.  It is compulsory for non-marking shoes suitable for tennis to be worn by all on court.  Everybody within the boundary fence must wear their tops at all times.
2. Please do not bring mud onto the courts.  When it is wet and muddy, it is essential that members wear different shoes if walking  across the playing fields.

Security

1. Members must not disclose padlock combinations to anyone.  Those who should know it will have been given the information by email.  Refer all enquiries to the Secretary.
2. IT IS VITAL TO ENSURE THAT THE COURTS ARE LOCKED when you have finished playing, if they are not in use by others.

Care of the Courts

1. Please take all rubbish home with you.  Do not leave empty drinks cans, bottles or any other litter on the courts or surrounding areas.
2. Nets must not be over tensioned and must be wound down at the conclusion of play.
3. No dogs are allowed on the courts, unless it is a guide dog.
4. Chewing gum is not permitted on the courts.
5. In times of excessive temperatures, the porous macadam playing surface will soften.  Please be wary of playing in such heat, and thus damaging the courts.

Car Parking

1. Our car park in Slad Lane is secured by a chain and padlock (adult members will receive the code on joining).  Please make sure you lock the gate securely if you are the last person to leave.
2. Please park sensibly so that others can use the car park.
3. When leaving, there is limited visibility so be cautious when pulling out.
4. Cars parked on the premises are at the owner’s risk.

Other

1. No responsibility can be held for members’ possessions left anywhere at the club.
2. Members should be aware that the club has limited insurance, which does not cover personal injury on court in all circumstances.  Please also note that, as a member, you are responsible for your own safety and the safety of others around you.
3. Please be extra cautious of playing on the courts if they are wet or icy.  If in doubt, you are strongly advised not to play on slippery surfaces.
4. We are unable to offer refunds of membership fees.

The Committee reserves the right to invoke Clause 7 of the Constitution if any member or visitor is in contravention of any of these rules.
