Aside from the club sessions , and official coaching hours (at weekends and weekday evenings – when specific courts are allocated to the coaches), all members, including juniors have equal rights to the courts.
Court allocation tables are printed up near the club house next to Courts 1 & 2. Notices are also displayed, detailing the court allocation rules which apply when all the courts are in use. In that members should vacate the court at the end of a set, or after a league match.
Members are asked to give priority in the summer for tournament matches which need to be played but this does not mean priority for a specific court, merely the next available court.
Never at any point must members feel that they should vacate the ‘show’ courts (courts 1 & 2) in favour of other players.
In free play sessions, members may invite others to join them, either by prior arrangement or on spec. However, in club play sessions, forming a four for doubles is controlled by the peg system and mixing with other players is considered the standard club etiquette.
