Club American Tournament

Our traditional season opener, the Spring American tournament, will take place on Sunday 27th April at 11am (see flyer below). Entries are limited to 8 men and 8 ladies on a first come, first served basis, with prizes for the winners. If you would like to take part, please reply direct to Jane Wells at janebwells1b@gmail.com

Court Re-surfacing

We will be reviewing the court re-surfacing work in the coming weeks, together with idverde and our suppliers, with a view to finalizing a date for the re-painting of the courts. We are hopeful this will be in the early summer, but it is highly weather dependent. When the re-painting takes place, the courts will be out of action again, but only for approximately one week this time around.

Court Availability and Security

We have decided to drop the use of the court booking system. This was only implemented to see us through the Covid-19 pandemic and we had not seen the necessity for a booking system before that period. Somewhat material to this decision is that our supplier has recently been taken over by a larger concern, prompting significant price increases and the discontinuing of the free plan that we have been using for the past three years.

Members may come to the courts to play at any time from 8am until dark, with the exception of Club Play sessions and when events such as Club matches or Club American tournaments are scheduled. These events are publicised here and elsewhere on the Club website.

Note that, as per Club Rules, if all courts are occupied and members are waiting, a match shall consist of one normal tie-break set and, on completion of the set, players shall vacate the court to allow other members to play. Players may then await the next free court to play another set.

Remember to lock the court padlock securely on the gate latch when you leave, to prevent unauthorised access and potential vandalism. If anyone else is playing when you leave, please check that they have a key to lock-up.

The gate latch must be pushed all the way to the left before the padlock is attached; if this is not done, the gate will not be secure and may be breached.
