General information This year, all paid-up members will again be given a shoe tag. It is very helpful to the Committee if you wear your tag on your shoe. This avoids those awkward and embarrassing moments when one of the Committee members approaches you to check your right to be on the courts ! Could we remind all members, including juniors, to make sure the courts are locked if you are the last player. Thank you.
Clubhouse keys are available from committee members on request, cost £3. Clothing A reminder to members that tennis clothing and shoes should be worn at all times at the Club. Juniors are asked to wear ‘sports’ clothing and trainers with non-marking soles. Guest fees You are welcome to bring a guest to play at Priory Park; however we must remind you that there is a guest fee payable of £5 each. Please continue to pay to a committee member, or put through the letterbox of 92 Forest Road. Junior guest fees are £3. Reminder: guests should only play at the club 6 times. After that, we welcome their application to join. There will be another Priory Diary circulated with information about future events. We hope you have a very enjoyable season! April 2011
