I would like to announce the great news that our floodlight planning application for courts 1 and 2 has been approved by SODC. We have a green light for installation. Over the next week we will be engaging with a contractor to place the order. Installation to be completed in approximately 12 weeks, ready for when darkness descends early. I would like to thank all the committee, especially Allen levy, who was lead architect responsible for submitting the planning application. Special mention to Lee West, out expert floodlight consultant. The Henley Standard and The Henley Herald are running press releases this week to cover the exciting news.

We are also planning to resurface Courts 1 and 2, hopefully at the same time as the floodlights are being installed. Our preference is for a change of surface to artificial clay. A clay surface is softer on the body and allows all year round play without frost issues . The committee welcomes feedback, or any opinions on the preferred surface. This message will also appear on our blog and I’ll put the links to the newspaper articles. Many thank Col.
