Update on booking rules for Full Members

Dear Full Member

Further to a meeting of the Tennis Committee we will be making some changes to the court booking rules that will affect you.

As you may be aware, we have not been accepting Off-Peak members for some time now and have advised those that remain that from 1st January 2024 they will no longer be able to book courts during weekends and bank holidays We anticipate this will assist in reducing the number of Off-Peak members and will free up court bookings for Full Members.

To maximise the slots available during the months with limited daylight hours, from 1st October 2023 all members may only book a one-hour slot from 1st October to 31st March. As at weekends, if the next booking session remains unbooked at the end of your hour you may play for a further hour, but the system will no longer allow you to book this as it will pick up that you have exceeded your limit. If you do wish to stay on the court for another hour, please email and advise us so that we can debit your account for the additional hours booking.

We will be reducing the annual membership fee for Full Members from 1st January 2024 from £85 to £50.

We are arranging for the court to be cleaned three time a week at 7am in the morning during periods where leaves and other debris regularly affect the court.

We are also aware that some of the boards around the court are damaged and are investigating replacing these with more durable options.

Regards

WSCL Tennis Committee
