MESSAGE TO ALL ADULT MEMBERS
The Committee agreed to start up Wednesday morning club sessions 10am-12noon and the Friday morning Ladies session 9-10am from 1st September according to LTA guidelines.
The LTA guidance for balls is that everyone can touch the balls provided but players should sanitize their hands at the beginning and end of a session and should not touch their faces during play. However, should there be anyone in your group who is not happy with this then we ask other members to respect their wishes.
From 1st September we will go back to putting the balls in the ball box and change them every week for new ones. We will leave the hand sanitizer bottles in the ball box for club sessions making sure that they are filled every week if necessary. However, you are advised to also bring your own hand sanitizer.
A book will be left in the ball box in a plastic bag with a pen for all names to be recorded at all these sessions and each list dated.
There will be no need to book a place on the club sessions but the duty committee member on Sundays and Tuesdays will ensure that a full list of attendees is recorded, that the hand sanitizer is put on each court and that the players keep 2m apart at all times. We ask that someone on the Wednesday and Friday sessions does the same.
Should the number of attendees be in excess of twelve then they should wait outside the courts and either stand or sit at the picnic tables or in the play area. No more than thirty players should be allowed to congregate so in the unlikely event that this should happen they should either swap with someone who has played or go home.
Players are encouraged to hand sanitise after each five games.
PLEASE LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF KIT BROUGHT ONTO THE COURTS, DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING BEHIND AND TAKE YOUR RUBBISH HOME. WE WILL NOT YET BE PROVIDING RUBBISH BINS
