SOCIAL TENNIS AND TEAM PRACTICES
This week we are pleased to announce another positive step in our steady journey back to normality. Over the next few months we will be introducing Social and Team sessions. Please bear with us, as we try our best to strike the balance with regards to:
welcoming and accommodating a host of new members;
ensuring we provide suitable access for our squash-only members;
running the summer championships to schedule;
reintroducing the box leagues;
balancing general court pressure.
With all of the above in mind:
Wednesday and Sunday Social Tennis Doubles; Weekly from 1st July
Wednesdays : 6:30pm onwards
Sundays : 2-4pm
Friendly doubles for all players of all standards. Grand Slam champions and complete beginners - all welcome! Just bring your racket and a set of tennis balls. We do our best to keep an eye out for newbies, but don’t be shy come and say hello and mix in. Yes, squash-only members that includes you!!!
Note:
in order to maintain social distancing, guidelines for the format and organisation of socials will be issued shortly. It will be vital that all in attendance read and adhere to these.
Monday Team Practice Bi-weekly:

In order to allow us to keep these in place we thank all members for continued observation of the following;
- all sessions and bookings strictly members-only
- follow published club guidelines at all times
- keep social distancing firmly in mind whilst waiting for courts and playing
- use hand sanitiser before entering and after leaving the court
The bar: Preparations are underway to reopen our bar as soon we are able to do so in a manner that places the heath and safety of our members first. As always, we await government and LTA guidelines to this effect.
We WILL get evenings back to normal, weekly sessions for all events WILL return as soon a possible. Please bear with us as we muddle though the coming weeks (we’re learning on the go) and keep an eye out for further announcements...!
HAND SANITATION STATIONS
