Court bookings

 

Could we please remind club members that peak time bookings (16:30 to 20:30) are limited to one court booking per member, this is to ensure equal access to courts for all members

 

If for any reason you are not able to make your booking could you please make sure to free up the court by cancelling your booking via SportyHQ

 

A lot of effort has been put in over the last number of weeks to clean the courts and glass. Could we please ask all members to leave the courts in the same condition for the next person using them

 

Regards
