Courts may not be booked during recognised coaching sessions and interclub matches. JUNIORS Juniors can use the courts whenever they are free, but as stated in our Club’s Constitution MUST be accompanied by a responsible adult if under the age of 13 years. For safety reasons, no children are allowed on the courts unless they are actually playing tennis or squash. COACHING Tennis coaching is provided by Tracy Bryant and squash coaching by Mike Tonge, two very professional and motivated coaches. Tracy runs an Adult session on Wednesday mornings and Junior sessions on Saturday mornings, both during termtime.

His contact details are tongeoftonbridge@aol.com or 01732 364831 Both coaches are available for individual lessons. (1) MATCHES We are always keen to enlist new team members to represent the club in the Monday night Horam League. So if you think you may have what it takes please do get in touch with Sarah on 07821 633808 or s.e.wilson65@gmail.com. VISITORS Members are encouraged to bring visitors as they are seen as potential members. Each visitor’s visit incurs a £5 fee. This must be paid immediately using the envelopes in the clubhouse. If the visitor subsequently joins any visitor fees paid in that membership year are deducted from the subscription. TEA & COFFEE FACILITIES Cordial, tea, coffee, sugar and long-life milk sachets are provided in the kitchen. There is no charge made for this but we ask that you respect the facilities by cleaning and tidying up after yourself. DRESS CODE There are no strict rules about dress other than the correct footwear i.e. specific tennis trainers or non-marking soles for squash. TENNIS & SQUASH BALLS Tennis balls used for inter-club matches are bought by the club. These are then placed in the clubhouse for all members to use. These balls are to be placed back in the clubhouse after use. Squash balls may be found in the kitchen drawer under the microwave. These are for emergencies only e.g. if your existing ball splits whilst in play. Please replace the club’s stock as soon as you can. SQUASH LIGHTING No extra charge is made for the use of the squash court lights which are a major contributor to our electricity bill. This makes us very unusual for a squash club and we ask you respect and value this by turning the lights off immediately after use. DISCOUNTS FOR MEMBERS Members receive two discounts: Tracy Bryant supplies many brands of tennis clothing and equipment from TennisPlanet.co.uk at 10% - 40% discounts. Please contact her for details.
