Important information

Courts are booked online in advance via the Club website.

All courts are available for use of members and the Club’s designated Coaching team.

At weekends and after 6pm on weekdays, the maximum number of courts that can be booked by Coaches or for team play/practices is three.

In order to allow fair access for all members who want to play and to help ensure the Booking Procedure operates smoothly, members are asked to adhere to the following:

• Courts may be booked up to a maximum of 14 days in advance
• Courts may be booked each day for up to 2 hours at a time
• If a booked court is no longer required it should be cancelled as soon as possible. This is done by clicking on the “cancel here” link in the confirmation email you will have received when booking the court

The Committee routinely monitor Court Bookings to ensure the above are being followed. Any member abusing the Procedure with repeated cancellations, non-attendance or excessive bookings may have their booking rights suspended by the Committee

Members can bring guests to play but guests need to sign in and pay a guest fee of £5 per person. The same person may only be brought in 5 times and then should become a member

No member shall introduce a guest whose membership has been terminated or suspended

Only correct tennis shoes should be worn Please remove your rubbish from courts after use If you wish to play in a team, please contact one of the Coaches and they will put you in touch with the appropriate team captain.

Health and Safety

The Management Committee make every effort to maintain the Club premises and courts in good repair and safe for use. Please report any problems you come across by putting details in the Defect Report Book which you will find in the kitchen, straight away. Playing conditions vary from day to day.

If you find that the courts are slippery for any reason, please don’t take a chance – don’t play.

The courts must not be used in frosty conditions or if exceptionally hot weather makes the playing surface soft.

Chairs must not be taken on to the playing surface.

Children under 11 years must be supervised by an adult at all times and the club cannot accept responsibility for any child left unaccompanied for whatever reason, and this applies equally before the start and end of coaching sessions.
