Club Nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus new Club Sessions available.

In previous years we have always allocated all 5 courts for club nights. However, as the club nights have very rarely used all the courts we took the decision to only allocate Courts 1 and 2 for club session players and Court 3 for Tom's Club Session Coaching. Leaving other courts 4 and 5 for coaching and private booking.

....But, Good news! We have recently had an increase in members attending club nights on Tuesday and Thursday, (bad news) causing playing delay due to court availability.

Therefore, we are changing the bookings for these nights to have Courts 1,2, and 3 for club session mix in doubles. Tom will move his Club Session Coaching to Court 4. Court 5 will be available for ad hoc coaching or members private booking.

As the evening light is disappearing fast and will soon disappear altogether I have allocated the evening club session courts from 4pm till dark. We do have Club Session WhatsApp groups for people to communicate to arrange early meet ups for Club Sessions.

In view of the reduced light for club sessions we are going to experiment with additional Club Sessions running on Tuesday and Thursdays on Courts 1 and 2 at 12 noon to 2pm. These courts are now booked out starting from 3rd November for those Club Sessions. Please use the current WhatsApp groups to communicate if you are attending and are looking for others to play against.

As you know, we do have planning permission in play for flood lights on Courts 1 and 2 to allow Club Sessions through the dark part of the year. Unfortunately, we have hit a delay in the decision and are working hard to get provide information to enable a successful decision as soon as possible.

Sunday Club session will still have all 5 courts booked.

We will constantly review court usage to optimise use of courts for everyone.

If you are wondering what Tom's Club Session Coaching is then I can tell you it is for members who would like to be involved in Club Sessions but would like some coaching first to build confidence prior to joining the normal Club Sessions. These are proving popular and I feel are a vital part of club sessions to help bring more people into the Mix In Club Sessions.

All feedback is welcome.
