Floodlights
Floodlighting is available on all courts. They can be turned on from inside the Tennis Pavilion, with separate switches for courts 1-3 (on the left) and 4-7 (on the right). Please be aware they are costly to run, so do turn them off when no longer needed.
Court Usage
There is no booking system for courts. Just turn up and play!
Do check the calendar for any restrictions on court availability.
At All Times:
If people are waiting to play because no courts are available you must vacate your court at the end of the set or after 30 minutes. If you are playing singles and people are waiting you must immediately invite two of those waiting to join you in a doubles. It is against the club spirit to fail to do so.
At Club Times:
If people are waiting then at the end of the set you must reform your doubles group so that those waiting are included in the next set. This is extremely important as these times are how some new members find their way into play at the club. This is especially key as we have many new members each year.
Our general Code of Conduct document is available here, along with all our other policy documents.
