Rules

Tennis club rules and etiquette

We are a pretty relaxed club but:

  • Wait until a point is finished before crossing behind a court.
  • We do expect members to wear suitable tennis clothing.
  • We do ask members to wear proper tennis shoes (non-black/court-marking soles).
  • We ask people to mix in when playing club sessions, and to vacate the courts after a short set (first to 6 games), if other people are waiting to play.
  • Floodlighting costs £6 per hour when required and tokens for using it should be bought from a committee member during the social sessions.

Read our full Constitution Rules.

Important notice

  • Do never share the code of the gates with anyone, even if you suspect they are also a member. 
  • You are responsible for any guests you bring to the club, and also responsible for collecting their guest fee if they play.
  • Always close and lock the gate when leaving the club if no one else is left.

Not following the above rules subject you to a warning and recurrent behavior may lead to suspension of your membership. Please help to keep our club safe and sustainable.
