Covid-19 update
Further to my previous newsletter, it has now been confirmed that London will move into tier 3 from Wednesday 16 December 2020.
There are NO changes to outdoor tennis activities, which can continue in the same way as tier 2. The only additional restrictions are on travel into/out of tier 3 areas but, as the surrounding areas are also tier 3, this should not affect many members.
However, we do ask that members consider their use of facilities when Covid cases are rising, and if using the Club please ensure you are following ALL safe practices and social distancing.
Unfortunately, the squash courts will now be closed until further notice. With the constant changes to what is and isn’t allowed, we have taken the decision to reopen only when facilities can be available to most members in an appropriate format.
All memberships will continue to be on pause and no payments collected. If your renewal comes up and you receive a reminder, please let me know so that I can put on hold.

Christmas closure
With the clubhouse and bar remaining closed due to the current restrictions in place, the Club will close for all organised activity between 21 December 2020 – 3 January 2021.
Obviously, subject to any further restrictions being announced, the tennis courts will remain open to book as usual during this period.
The final coaching groups and drop-in sessions will take place on Saturday 19 December, and restart on Monday 4 January 2021.
The last club play sessions will be Wednesday 16 and Sunday 20 December – the first sessions in the new year will be Wednesday 6 January and Sunday 10 January 2021.
