General Information

Section 4 courts will be available for play from 9am.
Subject to applying the knee test on court and towards the back. If it's dry? Please play, having booked your court of course!
Sections 1 - 3 courts will be open for play from 10am.
If the net is down it means we're resting the court. If you have booked a court where the net is down, please use the adjacent court or speak to the office to clarify where you should play.
We should have enough courts for everyone to be able to play, even when we have a tournament on. We hope this clarity provides a rule we can all adhere to! And please no play at all before 9am on the grass courts. You can book your court via clubspark or speak to the office should you need assistance in logging in.
