ATTENTION MEMBERS - Court Booking

The new Court Booking system was reviewed by the Committee at their meeting on 13th May and it was indicated that the majority of members were in agreement with continuing with this system.

A new Online Court Booking System will be introduced shortly and you will be informed of the details in due course.

At the recent AGM it was decided to trial a new booking system to avoid people having to queue for long periods for a court. This will start on Saturday January 5^th 2013 at 12 noon and will be reviewed.

How it works:

Everyone who is in the clubhouse at booking time; (12.00 on Saturday and Sunday, 8.00 weeknights); puts their name on a ticket which is then put into a box on the counter
Ticket books will also be on the counter; if they can’t be found just write them on the back of paper
First name drawn out of the box has first choice of court and time; second name out second choice and so on
Anyone arriving after booking time joins the queue and books their court in the order they arrive as normal
