Floodlight Play - floodlights are operated by tokens obtained from the clubhouse. For evening Social Tennis on Monday (Cat. F), Tuesday (Cat. C) and Thursday (Cat. A), tokens are provided free of charge. Members fixing their own games under floodlights will need to purchase tokens at a cost of £1 each. Three tokens should provide just under one hour’s worth of lighting on the single courts and four tokens should provide a similar time on paired courts. Sessions are ’6.30 to 8′ & ’8 to 10′ pm and may be booked but no more than a week in advance.

Balls – members are required to provide their own balls (in good playing condition) for Social Tennis and fixed play. Tubes containing 4 balls can be purchased from the Bar at reasonable cost.

Playing times – every day 9am – 10pm by when floodlights must be extinguished.

Social Tennis – you just turn up and mix in for doubles play during the following sessions:-

• Category A members: Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings are the most popular times – these can be busy sessions and all courts may be used with the exception of one court for juniors (Court 1 if they require it) and for coaching on court 4 on Thursday evening up to 7.00pm. Saturday and Sunday afternoons are also intended for Social Tennis but they are not currently popular times and on these afternoons some courts may be required for matches and coaching.
• Category F : Saturday mornings from 9am on three courts (with group coaching for the first hour at a small supplemental fee payable on the morning) and on Monday evenings on two courts.
• Category B (but also open to Category A & F members): Tuesday mornings from 9am on four courts (coffee and biscuits usually supplied by those participating in the session).

Junior Club Evening – takes place on Tuesday afternoons from 4pm. Please ask the Club’s coach for details of group coaching sessions appropriate to age and ability and coaching fees. In addition to group coaching unsupervised mix-in play is available to responsible juniors on all other courts on Tuesdays subject to good behaviour and parental permission. On other days at least one court is available for junior play at all times here.

Fixed games – outside the times allocated for Social Tennis members are free to make up their own games on available courts. Doubles take precedence to singles. Single play in progress ends at the close of the game currently in progress if a ‘four’ is waiting to play and no other court is available. For sessions under floodlights these are bookable in advance and more detailed information is displayed in the booking diary to be found in the telephone lobby.

Matches. – Middlesex League Matches require three courts on selected Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings from May to the beginning of August. Junior matches are mainly played on either Saturday or Sunday afternoons. The bar is usually open during adult league and cup matches
and spectators are welcome. Team selection and entry to the Club Championships is only available to Club members whether senior or junior.
