Dear [[firstname]]
We are pleased to announce that our Kent Mixed 1 team who are in the top division have a home playoff match for the shield on Saturday 23rd March at 10.00 v Bexley. Our Kent Mixed 2 team have their last group match on Friday evening and might also reach a final - if so this too will be played at home on Saturday around 13.30. If you'd like to see some great tennis, come up and support our teams!
In the meantime, we'd like to remind you about a few important things:
1. When booking courts, all other player names are to be added and certainly no less than 24 hours before your booking. This is mandatory and ensures that everyone who uses our courts is a member which is fair to all. Also remember to check-in online or on the screen located in the tennis pavilion.
2. Members are welcome to bring guests onto the courts, accompanied by payment of a guest fee of £5 for an adult and £2.50 for a junior. Each guest can only play up to 3 times in a season. It is your responsibility as a member to ensure any guest fees are paid before you play. All guests’ names must be entered on the sheet in the tennis pavilion.
If you are bringing a guest member, please ensure you select the ***Guest opponent option on your MyCourts booking.
Please pay to the Club account with the reference ‘Guest’:

3. Parents wishing to play on court with their children need to purchase either a Family membership or a Senior and Junior membership, depending on which is most cost-effective. We strongly discourage parents either just joining themselves, or just joining their children as juniors, and then using the courts together on a regular basis.
Please help us ensure that everyone pays fairly towards the upkeep and maintenance of our fantastic facilities.
4. If you are hiring the Club ball machine (which is currently out of action but a replacement is being sought), please ensure you have selected the ***Ball Machine opponent option on your MyCourts booking. Members must pay the £5 for hiring the ball machine before playing and should check the machine is fully charged before taking it on court.

If you wish to play on your own for serving practice, please ensure you have selected the ***Serving Practice opponent option on your MyCourts booking.
Members must not use the courts for these activities Monday to Friday 10am to 12pm and after 6pm, and before 5pm on weekends.
5. We invest heavily in the ongoing maintenance of our courts with a rigorous programme of renewal, resurfacing and repainting. To ensure they stay in as good a condition as possible, however, we ask for your help as follows:
• Make the most of any spare time to tidy the courts and clear any loose debris.
• Make the effort to join us for any of the organised leaf sweeping sessions (you’ll hear about these via email).
• Do not loosen nets after you have played; they should be left at the correct tension to prolong their life (and the life of the winders).
• Do not bring food or drink onto the courts that could leave a mess. Bins are provided, but if you have recyclable rubbish, please take it with you when you leave.
• Sweep the clay courts after use following the method shown in the information located in the tennis pavilion.
• Contact the Facilities team at maintenance@blackheathlawntennisclub.org.uk or a Committee member if you spot any issues with the facilities or concerns about their use.
Thank you.
