CARE

To preserve the quality of the court surfaces, non-marking footwear is mandatory.

The courts are surrounded by private gardens; should a ball go into one of these, please treat it as lost.  We wish to preserve good relations with our neighbours.

Please wash any refreshment utensils you use.

Please ensure net tension is released, and courts and clubhouse are locked when you finish your session on court. Court keys are to be returned to the table in the clubhouse.

In the event of frost, snow/ice please do not attempt to clear the courts by applying salt onto the frozen surfaces or use anything metal to scrap the snow/ice away
