To summarise:
  • Booking court time on line only – No “turn up and play.”
  • Singles play with another member
  • Doubles play with members outside of the family unit now allowed.
  • Social play sessions now reinstated.
  • Practice play on your own.
  • Wednesday coaching resumes without limitations.

Also the other special conditions remain in place:

  • The Clubhouse is still restricted and should only be entered for water or to use the toilet. Please do not gather in the clubhouse
  • Please refrain from gathering in close groups – adhere to social distancing etiquette .
  • Please respect the guidelines as the opening of the courts is conditional on the rules being followed – any infringements could cause the courts to be closed.
