Court One Net Issues

Tim Benton

The Court One Net post has broken and no longer can be adjusted to the correct height. The Net is much lower than recommended level, due to this fact and to prevent any further damage, Court One is not to be used until further notice under any circumstances. Members are instructed to not try and repair the Net themselves as this has the potential to cause further damage to both the court and the rest of net.

The Committe are organising the Net’s repair and this will be done as soon as possible. Any competition that is scheduled to be played until the Net is repaired must play on Courts Two and Three, but hopefully this will not be an issue and the Net is fixed in the near future.
