FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
As a member you are entitled to use all the Club’s facilities.
In theory we are open all day and court availability is subject to the summary timetable on the home page. Keys to our entrance and the clubhouse are available from our treasurer, in return for a small deposit. This means you can let yourself in at any time. However, you need to consider that the main car park may not open until after 8am and will often be closed in the evening by the ‘Post and Wicket’ or by one of the other sports clubs when they finish. In addition, our floodlights only operate until 11pm at night.
