Please Click here to view the current Clubhouse Rota. This page will open in a new browser window which you can print off.

We need to ensure that a responsible person opens up and closes the Clubhouse and Courts on Club Morning and on Club Nights (Tues)

Suggested times are: Sunday  10am  to 1pm: Tuesday 7pm to 10pm

The nominated person should arrive to open the Clubhouse at opening time. PLEASE REMEMBER TO LOCK THE DOOR ON THE INSIDE AS SOON AS YOU ENTER. SWITCH ON THE FLOODLIGHTS IMMEDIATELY if it is dark to let people  know you are there.

Open the security shutter and patio doors and make club balls available to members wishing to play.  In winter, remain for a reasonable time to see if anyone arrives.  If no one has arrived by say 7.30 to 8pm it is permissible to pack up and go home. On normal evenings you should preferably remain at the courts until closing time acting as host/organiser for the session.

Help organise play if help is needed and if new (or potential new) members arrive, please welcome them on behalf of the Club and ensure they are made to feel at home'. Have application forms available (Club Notice Board).

 At the end of the session replace the balls in the ball-store, close the security shutter, close and secure the patio doors, switch all lights and heating off and re-lock the Clubhouse. Switch on the timed security-light so that you can see to lock the gate and see your way to the road. It is a good idea to arrange 'sharing' of Clubhouse duty. This gives you company for the walk down the path and provides a tennis partner if no one else turns up!

IT IS A CONDITION OF OUR LEASE THAT FLOODLIGHTS MUST GO OFF PROMPTLY AT 10PM. IF FOR ANY REASON YOU ARE UNABLE TO DO YOUR CLUBHOUSE DUTY ON THE DATE'S NOMINATED, PLEASE ARRANGE TO EXCHANGE DUTIES WITH SOMEONE ELSE ON THE CHART AND BE SURE TO SHOW THE ALTERATION ON THE CHART ON THE CLUB NOTICE BOARD. THE MOST ESSENTIAL PART OF THE OPERATION IS TO ENSURE THAT A RESPONSIBLE PERSON IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO LOCK UP THE CLUBHOUSE AT THE END OF THE SESSION.  PLEASE NOTE YOUR ALLOCATED DATES IN YOUR DIARY NOW!
