The three astroturf tennis courts near the clubhouse are wearing out in proportion to
their distance from the tennis clubhouse.
The carpet on Court 9 (
nearest the clubhouse) is much more worn than the other two. The least
worn court is court 7 (furthest away from the tennis clubhouse).
The
cost of replacing one court is currently around £10,000, money
neither the tennis club or the Victory Hall has got.
We need to conserve Court 9 to prolong
its life so I would ask all members to avoid that court if others
(including the grass courts and the top court) are available. If you
need a key (and this includes juniors) to open the side gate to
get to the the grass and top astro courts, let me know. 342 2531
In the
meantime the near gate from the clubhouse will be kept locked (apart
from match nights, tournaments and hopefully very busy Saturday social
tennis) and the far gate (which has been mended) used as the entrance to
the courts. This should encourage greater use of courts 7 and 8.
I appreciate your understanding on this matter.
Many Thanks
Terry
