Tennis and Badminton courts schedules

Posted on Friday 30 March 2012 by John Worsley

On 27 March 2012 the committee revised the schedules for the tennis and badminton courts for the coming year.

The main change is to the first session of the day, which used to be from 09:00 to 12:00. This session has been split into 2 two-hour sessions – 08:00 to 10:00 and 10:00 to 12:00.

On the tennis schedule, the women’s match practice night is on Thursday and the men’s match practice night has moved to Friday.

The club is hoping to make better use of the badminton courts and intends to introduce a pay-as-you-go system, hence the appearance of PUBLIC HIRE sessions.

Both schedules can be found on the website under INFORMATION on the main menu.
