To ensure the safety of our members following on from the GOV.UK CORONAVIRUS ALERT last night and new rules in force to stay at home, the Committee have taken the decision to CLOSE THE COURTS. The gates have been padlocked to stop access. Please stay safe at home and we look forward to welcoming you back when we are able to do so. ... See MoreSee Less

COVID-19

The latest advice that we have been given from the LTA regarding Coronavirus includes the following statement:
'The Government have currently indicated that recreational exercise that takes place at a safe distance from others and in safe exercise environments is something that can continue during this period'.

Therefore it has been decided that tennis activities can continue at the Club, including Club Nights, Men's Winter League and Team Practices.

However we recommend that advice received from the Government regarding Social Distancing is adhered to by all members, particularly our mature members (over 70) and anyone who has an underlying health condition.

The Saturday Tennis and Cake sessions will unfortunately have to do without the cake... as this can mean over 10 people in an enclosed area.

We also recommend that players, once they have signed in, wait outside for a session to commence, rather than in the clubhouse and players should not be expected to shake hands (or any alternative) at the end of a game.

All coaching courses have been suspended by On2Court, until further notice.

Therefore, if you would like to continue playing tennis during these difficult times and you are not showing any coronavirus symptoms then 'we are open for business' and you are welcome to do so. However, if you fall into the 70+ group, have an underlying health condition or would rather keep your distance, for whatever reason, that is fine. The health of all our members is our priority and even if you are scheduled to play at Club Night, in the Men's League or a Match Practice session we understand if you would rather not - please do let Wendy or Jacqui know.

Should the position change, or further advice and guidance is provided from the LTA, then the Club will update members.
The Committee

On2court are suspending all group coaching with immediate effect up to and including Sunday 22 March (this mirrors the LTA position) and will update further once the LTA have offered longer term guidance.
If you or anyone in your household has a fever or persistent cough the advice is to quarantine for 14 days.
Please do not come to the club if you are suffering and if you have recently returned from abroad please protect other members by keeping away for a least 7 days.
This is a difficult time for all of us, so stay safe everyone.
No doubt that this information will change daily and we will keep you advised.

Friday evening saw a mixed doubles tournament with a difference! Four pairs played each of the other pairs twice over a 10 minute tie break game, but on a mini court, with slower balls and a smaller racket. This short game used different muscles and skills and great fun was had by all. Jacqui West and Gary Fitzjohn were the winners and everyone enjoyed a buffet tea afterwards. Thanks to Wendy Cropp for organising the event and being the timekeeper. ... See MoreSee Less
