IMPORTANT NEWS REGARDING CARD READER AND PRICES FOR LIGHTS

We are hoping to install the card reader on Tuesday 24th September. This will operate the lights on all courts. If possible the coin boxes will remain operative at the same time giving a dual mechanism for turning the lights on. You will receive a separate email when we know they are working with dates when members will be shown how to use them.
On a separate issue our contract for electricity has now run out . For the past 3 years we have been paying 16.9p per unit and we now will be paying 31.9p per unit. In light of this we will have to charge £4 per 30 mins which will be £8 per hour. This is the first rise since 2012.
The new LED lights for courts 1 and 2 are on order for installation which is likely to be in January. Members will receive more information when we have exact dates.
