General Information

Play during social tennis

Priority is given to doubles during club time. Singles is only permitted
when courts are vacant and no players are waiting to play doubles.

Balls
The club provides tennis balls free of charge to members. These are renewed at least weekly. During club sessions balls should be left on court for the next set otherwise they should be returned to the clubhouse.

Floodlights
Floodlighting is provided free of charge. The switches are located just inside the club house door.

The lights turn off automatically at 10pm, but when it is clear that no further play will take place on a court, the lights should be turned off manually. Note that once switched off, a set of floodlights have to cool down for around 10 minutes before they can be switched on again.
