It is not a service to the next member coming on court but reflects our need to maintain the courts\u0027 life span.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe courts need to be brushed after every hour in a circular, snail pattern from the outside in. The area that needs most brushing is at and behind the baseline, where players are most, so the 2-3 meters behind the baseline need to be part of the brushing area. This is a larger area than we typically sweep at the moment. This will prevent the surface from compacting, reduce the size of puddles during rain, and avoid undue wear of the surface by ensuring that there is sufficient sand on the baseline area.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDo not brush the courts from side to side since this removes the sand from the court.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSweeping needs to take place in all weathers, regardless of how wet the courts are or if it is raining.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSweep before your booked hour is up. Leave yourselves 5 minutes at the end of the hour to sweep the court. You shouldn\u0027t eat into the hour of the next people on court.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIf the court sweepers are too heavy, please feel free to ask other members to assist.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe last people to leave the courts in the evening MUST close the doors and gates to ALL the courts. This prevents foxes from entering the courts during the night, defecating on the courts and chewing on the tennis nets and drag nets.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePlease take all your balls with you after play. We have regularly 5-15 balls on the courts that create confusion amongst players and need to be collected and disposed of in the crate we have provided (they are donated to dog homes).\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThese actions apply to adults and juniors.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 16px;\u0022\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 14px;\u0022\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor the groundsman\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOn a weekly basis, use a leaf blower to remove leaves, twigs and other debris from the court and to distribute sand from the sides of the courts into the middle.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAlso on a weekly basis use a brush to brush the courts, brush the lines, and then brush the courts again. This will take at least one hour per court per week and we must let the groundsman do this work without interruption. Courts will be unavailable for play during this time and we will indicate this on the booking board.
