Hello everyone,
As stated in last week’s update all 6 courts are now fully open for booking. Apologies if people have had a few problems last week but we were setting up Clubspark for the changes. Please let me know if you are having problems booking (secretary@shltc.info) or contact Clubspark themselves by asking a question re help and giving your number. They will ring back and will be quicker .
We ask that club members continue to be respectful of social distancing measures. This includes keeping the recommended safe distance at all times and allowing court users to exit and enter courts without coming into contact with each other.
Unfortunately the club house will remain closed unless there is a medical emergency (The AED/Defibrillator and First aid kit are located within the club house).
Thank you for all the people who have entered the club championship. A total of 91 individual members are taking part.
