New balls are put out regularly for club and free play and kept in the grey bucket in the pavilion. (Access via a key code is given separately to members).  If members wish to use their own tennis balls during free play then of course there is no problem with that.  Club play will be played with the balls provided by the club.  These are generally new.

When playing at the courts, please ensure tolerance and common sense prevail and please follow the etiquette below for different types of play:

 

Club Play – Social tennis in a friendly atmosphere, all members welcome. These are the main club sessions during which we hope that sufficient numbers of people will turn up so that you can just turn up and be relatively sure of people to play against.  Turning up to club play implies that you are willing to play with/against whichever members turn up.  Matches are usually doubles unless there is a pair left over and a spare court.  Matches are the best of 8 games if there are others waiting or playing (unless a set of 6 games are won by one side before the 8 are played).  If you are a significantly better player than an opponent, please be tolerant and helpful to maintain a good spirit across the court. Fours to play will be decided by drawing cards.  Once the fours are drawn, please just use good sense in matching abilities for a competitive game.  Juniors who are of a sufficient standard to play well against adults are also welcome.

 

Free Play – Matches may be arranged beforehand with other members and played to their conclusion (unless there are many others waiting to play). There is no obligation to mix with others who turn up to play unless desired by all parties.  Singles matches may be arranged and played.  Juniors may make up fours or mixed with adults for competitive games.

 

Family Play – Turn up and play with other family or friends who are members.  Time for families, particularly with young children who wish to come and play.
