Following updated guidance from the LTA we are really glad to share with you that all Club Sessions can now re-start. This means that our Monday & Friday mix-in sessions will take place on all three courts between 6:30 – 9:00pm. In addition, our afternoon club sessions on Monday’s and Friday’s will take place on two courts between 1:30 – 3:30pm. However, we are continuing to keep the clubhouse closed for the time being in the best interest of keeping our members and players safe. We will continue to review this and hope to open the clubhouse in the not to distant future.
The new guidance from the LTA also enables us to re-start more of our coaching activity for juniors and adults. If you would like to find which sessions are back up and running see our coaching schedules or contact our Head Coach, Alan on headcoach@denmeadtennis.org.uk. Whilst it is fantastic we can start to get more club activity back underway, we ask all members to continue following the Government & LTA guidance.

Since the easing of the lockdown restrictions we have been cautious in only allowing 2 courts to be open. However after review we will be opening the middle court for bookings from Friday 19th June

Following the Prime Minister's announcement on Monday evening (23 March), we will unfortunately now also be closing the tennis courts from any use. We are following advice from the Government which states the closure of 'communal places within parks, such as playgrounds, sports courts and outdoor gyms'.
We really appreciate all of the continued support from our members and players at Denmead Tennis Club. As you will be aware, membership renewals are due on 1st April and therefore the committee will postpone renewals until members are able to use the courts again. We will of course continue to communicate with you via email and our social media channels. Thanks again & take care.

Court booking and 1:1 and 1:2 coaching will still be available but the clubhouse will be out of bounds. A newsletter has been sent to all members and can be read here
The following is an extract from a newsletter sent to all members:-
'Following guidance from the Government and the LTA, we have been specifically advised that tennis is in fact one of the best examples of social distancing in practice, and so should be encouraged as long as the guidance permits. Tennis is also specifically identified as currently being a sport that is OK to play....' Therefore we will continue with current activities albeit with adequate precautions as is outlined in the newsletter which can be read here There will be a committee meeting on Monday 23rd March and a further update will appear then. |
