Please read the detailed guidance below

  • Do not come to the Club for at least 7 days if you have Covid-19 symptoms.
  • Do not come to the Club for at least 14 days if anyone you live with has Covid-19 symptoms.
  • Keep to social distancing rules and stay two metres apart at all times.
  • The Clubhouse will remain closed.
  • The changing rooms will be open for hand washing purposes but please come to the Club already changed into your playing kit.
  • Each player should bring their own water and balls
  • Please hand sanitise before playing and before using the floodlights
  • Only handle your own rackets and personal possessions
  • Only change ends at opposite sides of the net
  • We can play singles with someone from outside our own household.
  • Doubles can only be played with members of your own household.
  • Please play with two sets of marked balls and only touch your own.
  • If anyone under 16 years is playing then they must be accompanied by at least one member of the same household group who must be an adult Member or otherwise a responsible adult must be at the side of the court.
  • We shall be leaving our court brushes in place because we all need to help keep the courts in good condition. If playing on courts 1,2,5,6 or 7, please brush as usual after play, wearing gloves.
  • Please respect the fact that many Members will want to get back on court and only play for an hour if others are waiting.
  • And finally, please stagger your arrival at the Club. Obviously, we all want to play but we need to take a sensible approach and not all turn up at once. If we follow the guidelines we can preserve the game we love.

We are investigating court booking systems and will update Members once we have identified a way forward.

This is a fast developing situation, so please keep an eye on the Club web site where we shall be publishing updated advice from the LTA as we get it.
