COURT LIGHTING
Our court lighting is about to be installed, in the week beginning 22 July. The ‘Tweener’ lighting system* that we’re installing involves minimal disruption, with no trenchwork across the courts and no excavation and erection of columns. Installation will therefore take only 2-3 days – weather permitting, the probable days are Monday 22nd and Tuesday 23rd – rather than weeks and the Club will not have to close.
Courts will remain open for play, but at any given time during working hours one (or more) of the courts will have to be kept clear for the installers to do their work. They will be as accommodating as possible, but at times they may need to work across the courts and will have to ask you to stop play. If you’re playing in the daytime, during their working hours, please be tolerant of any interruptions. Please play on courts as far as possible from where installation work is taking place, and if at any point you are asked to stop play and/or move to a different court, please be understanding and do so immediately. And of course take care throughout. Many thanks.
* Detailed info about the Tweener lighting system was sent to all members last summer. In case you missed reading it at the time, or are a new member who has joined since, we will send the information again shortly.
