2 Court Bubble
Unfortunately, the Rubis engineers who came to the club last week weren't able to complete the work on the generators so will be back to the club in due course. This means that there will still be no heating in the bubble, we apologise for the inconvenience and will keep members updated.Indoor 2 will also be closed to booking on Thursday 8 Feb from 1-3pm to allow replacement of faulty door handles and locks to the old air lock in the two-court bubble. This work is necessary to ensure the bubble does not have a failure of one of the doors which would result in a sudden loss of pressure and jeopardise the inflation of the bubble.
Hard Courts
The hard court floodlights are now operational again after the power outage 2 weeks ago. As the weather now is improving, we have opened hard courts 1-3 for booking to increase the number of available courts for booking. However, members should be aware that the fences at the back of courts 1-3 are not perfect and are leaning into the corridor so balls may roll under the fence and claiming them back from the corridor could require some ducking and wiggling to navigate the lean. So if this is not acceptable to members, then they should not book courts 1-3. The fences are due to begin replacement works on Tuesday 20 February, from which time all four outdoor hard courts will be closed while the work happens. It's possible that we may be able to put some of the courts into use during the work, but we won’t know till we can take advice from the workmen on site during the replacement.
