Club Championships Expression of Interest

The club is looking to get an expression of interest from members who would like to be involved in this years club championships.

We would like to encourage all members to get involved, especially our group of juniors.

We are not specifying dates/times yet but we are looking to try to isolate events into singles days or evenings to make it a lot easier for those involved.

We are also looking to hold the junior events on possibly the day of the Clubs Christmas party , for something different.

If you are interested in being involved please complete the form.

There will also be list available in the clubhouse from Sunday the 4th of September

Court Lighting Operation

Please be aware of the court lights procedure if you ever experience any of light switches tripping – a procedure sign has been put up to follow.

The Steps are:

  • Slowly turn on the light switches one at a time, this reduces an in-rush of power and the possibility of a nuisance trip.
  • If you hear a trip whilst operating a light switch, check which circuit has tripped by opening the switchboard and nothing which breaker it is.
  • Switch off the light switch which caused the trip and re-set the breaker on the switch board.
  • Wait 5 minutes and try operating the switch again.
