Club Guidance

Due to Government-imposed restrictions, and following LTA advice, there will be some limitations to our use of the courts. For safety reasons net winders will be removed and nets left at the correct height and the benches on the top court will not be in use.

The following rules will apply:

1. ONLY ONE SESSION MAY BE BOOKED PER DAY AND A MAXIMUM OF 3 PER WEEK.
2. EACH COURT MUST BE BOOKED IN ADVANCE AND MAY ONLY BE USED FOR EITHER:

UP TO FOUR PEOPLE FROM THE SAME HOUSEHOLD

OR

SINGLES PLAY (BY PLAYERS WHO MAY BE FROM DIFFERENT HOUSEHOLDS).

NO MIX-INS OR ARRANGED DOUBLES ALLOWED.

1. ALL PLAYERS MUST OBSERVE TWO METRE SOCIAL DISTANCING AT ALL TIMES.
2. THE CLUBHOUSE WILL NOT BE IN USE AND THEREFORE WE HAVE SUPPLIED A FIRST AID BAG IN A PLASTIC BOX PLACED BY THE CORNER OF THE CLUBHOUSE AND WILL BE SIGNPOSTED. PLEASE BRING WATER FOR DRINKING AND CLEANING ANY GRAZESOR CUTS.
3. NO PLAYER SHOULD PLAY IF THEY HAVE ANY OF THE SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19 (high temperature or a continuous cough, etc)
4. PLAYERS SHOULD ONLY USE THEIR OWN TENNIS BALLS (You should mark them so that they are easily recognisable as yours).
5. PLAYERS SHOULD TRAVEL SEPARATELY IF THEY ARE NOT IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD.
6. PLAYERS SHOULD WASH THEIR HANDS BEFORE TRAVELLING TO THE CLUB OR USE ANTISEPTIC GEL AND SHOULD WASH THEIR HANDS AS SOON AS THEY CAN AFTER PLAYING.

PLEASE GENTLY PUSH THE GATE SHUT ONCE INSIDE. THERE IS HAND GEL AND SPRAY AVAILABLE IN THE PLASTIC BOX SHOULD YOU REQUIRE IT.

1. JUNIOR MEMBERS MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT (If the adult is not a member, they may play against the child if they wish free of charge, or they may choose to watch if the child is playing against a friend. However, social distancing must be maintained at all times).
2. PLEASE SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE BOOKING PAGE REGARDING LEAVING 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE NEXT BOOKING.

ALL CURRENT MEMBERSHIPS HAVE BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL MAY 31st 2020 AND THIS YEARS FEES WILL BE CALCULATED TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF THE TIME THE CLUB HAS BEEN CLOSED.

SEVERAL COMMITTEE MEMBERS HAVE WORKED EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE SURE THE CLUB IS AS SAFE AS CAN BE AND READY FOR PLAY. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THEM ON BEHALF OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THEIR EFFORTS WHICH ARE ALL VOLUNTEERED. I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK ED BEACH WHO HAS DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB WITH THE NEW WEBSITE WHICH MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO BOOK COURTS ONLINE.
