A big thank you to the club members who volunteered over the holidays to help replace some of the worn court lines. The courts are looking great so please keep them clean and tidy.

The fire exit door is alarmed, therefore members must not open this door.
For security reasons the front door is not to be jammed open. All members are entitled to a swipe card to allow entry into the building.
If you are the last to leave could you please turn the lights out (the switch is in the foyer by the front door).

Please remember that the complex is a complete smoke free zone therefore members are not able to smoke outside our building. Also animals are not permitted onto the Complex so please leave your pets at home.

Well that's about all for now. Have a great season. I am in the office Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10am till 3pm and only too happy to help if you have any queries or problems.
