The courts are well maintained, and we have a clubhouse with toilet facilities. Playing on grass is seasonal and weather dependent. We aim to start in April/May and finish in September/October. We ask members not to play if the courts are wet.
Members must book courts through Club Spark
The courts are available for visitors’ specific hire or block booking through Chris Bennett 01308 482610. There is a combination lock on the gate. You will be given the number on paying your fee. Please do not reveal this number to anyone, as we have had trouble with vandals in the past.
See the Events page for club session times.
There is a block booking on Wednesdays from 2.00 pm until 4.00 pm for one court.
The courts can be used at any other time, but please use the booking system or contact Chris Bennett. If both courts are busy, members must vacate after their allotted time or by other mutual agreement.
