RESUMING TENNIS: RULES
Great though it is to be able to play again, Covid-19 has of course not gone away. We must be aware and responsible in returning to the courts. Please read and observe the following carefully:
1. Social distancing must be strictly maintained. Keep your distance at all times. Change ends by passing at opposite ends of the net.
2. In the event that all four courts are in play and someone is waiting for a court, please be fair and courteous and observe the simple club rule: whoever has been playing longest will play for a maximum of 20 minutes before “rotating”. While waiting to play, stay outside the courts.
3. As part of maintaining social distancing, allow each other plenty of space when entering or leaving the courts. In particular, please do not sit on the low bowling-green wall outside the tennis court gate; please sit in the area with the benches outside the clubhouse.
4. Except for the toilets, the clubhouse is strictly out of bounds. Do not use the clubhouse. Please ensure that the door is locked each time you exit: the public must not have access to our toilets.
5. Do not leave anything on the court when you finish playing.
ENJOY PLAYING. KEEP YOURSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE SAFE.
