Saturdays and Sundays

There is a mix-in session each Saturday from 2-4pm. This session is open to all and is based on ratings so that games are evenly matched.

On Sundays, players may arrange their own games until 10.30am. After that time, there is a club mix-in session with a mix of evenly matched and mixed ability games. This session is organised by a club coach.

Floodlighting

Tennis members can use the floodlit court in the evenings (£5 per hour for light meter - machine accepts only pound coins).
Please check availability on the online court booking system and book ahead with names of players to reserve the court.

Members bookings can only be made one week ahead.
If you are bringing a guest, please leave the guest fee in the office or at the bar. Thank you.

Tennis Court Bookings On Line

Members may book a court for a tournament or league match by logging into the Members Lounge of this site where full details are available together with a link to the system.

Restrictions apply and bookings are not allowed during the Saturday and Sunday mix-in sessions

Resurfacing work and court allocation, Jan-March 2019

When the work starts to resurface the back courts, we will be down to only 3 available courts at the club. These need to be shared between the coaching team (Spin) and members. With fewer than half the normal number of courts, both coaches and members are having to make sacrifices and we'd ask for your understanding over what has been quite a difficult decision.

We hope to be able to avoid home matches for the teams in Jan-Mar, to maximise court availability for members at weekends. We have also tried to keep all the courts available for the club mix-ins at weekends.

The allocations agreed by theTennis Committee are as follows:

Mon-Fri 0830-1230 Spin 1 court, Members 2 courts

Mon-Fri 1230-close Spin 2 courts, Members 1 court

Saturday 0830-1030 Spin 3 courts

Saturday 1030-1230 Members 3 courts

Saturday 1230-close Spin 2 courts, Members 1 court

Sunday 0830-1030 Spin 3 courts

Sunday 1030-1230 Members 3 courts

Sunday 1230-close Spin 2 courts, Members 1 court

We will keep these allocations under review and may amend them if necessary. It may mean that some coach-led sessions will have to be cancelled because there aren't enough courts. The coaches will keep members informed.
