Snowy courts = no play or snowmen-building

Snow has been disrupting our tennis this week - take a look at Roy's photo for proof! Snow is the only weather condition that prevents play on our courts, and ice can damage the surface. Read about how it (and you) can be protected.

As you may have noticed, the courts are covered in snow. These are the only conditions which prevent us from playing. Ice can damage the courts, so please observe the following:

• Please don't make snowmen or large snowballs on the courts - the snow freezes underneath, damaging the courts, and will take much longer to thaw.
• Please don't sweep or push the snow off the courts in order to play on them prematurely - the sweeping can damage the courts and it creates frozen areas, delaying the overall thaw.
• Please just allow the courts to thaw naturally.

This means that there is no coaching or social tennis (Saturday afternoon or Play & Stay) on the courts this weekend. However, the Clubhouse is still available for use - why not make use of the pool table?

The snow is due to clear after the weekend, so we're hoping play can resume next week. Get in contact with our coaches or a member of our committee if you're unsure.
