As a non-member the same applies, but you must either play with a member as a visitor or book a court using the public booking system described below,

Courts may be unavailable for several reasons, inter-club matches, coaching and club tournaments etc... to find out what is happening on the day you want to play check out the club diary here >>>>> (insert hyperlink when available).

When matches are being played a sign on the gate to the courts will be displayed showing "Match in Progress", but there may still be a court available. Just ask and one of our friendly team players will be happy to tell you.

COURT ETIQUETTE
When the middle court is in use, please wait until the game has been finished before opening the gate. If there is a match being played you may be asked to wait until the match has been completed before going on court, as it can be very distracting.
Courts should be shared between any club members who wish to play whether senior or junior. As a matter of courtesy, if there are other members waiting to play, it is expected that a court be vacated after one short set (i.e. first to six games) OR after half an hour, whichever is the shorter. The only exception to this rule is when a club competition match is being played, in which case the match may be played to completion.

VISITOR’S FEES & PUBLIC BOOKINGS
Visitors are allowed to play three times at the Club (with a member) at £3.00 per visit and should then apply to join as playing members, paying the appropriate membership fee.
The public may book a court at a cost of £5.00 per hour. Bookings can be made via the Parish Council Office in the Marford Hall (open mornings only) on 01582 832541.

Club rules (there aren't many!!!)
1. You must wear your membership tag, or have it with you, every time you use the
courts or you will be asked to stop playing and leave.

2. Non marking soled shoes should always be worn on court and should a player be seen
wearing shoes that could damage the court, he would be asked to cease playing or change
to suitable footwear.

3. Due to obvious fire risks, there is a NO SMOKING RULE in the clubhouse or the verandah.

4. Club members are requested to park their cars in the Marford Hall car park and not in
Brocket View.

5. Do not over tighten or swing on the net as this can damage the net posts.
If nobody is coming onto your court after you have finished, please lower the net taking care not

6. When you leave, please make sure the outside gate is locked. If you are the last to
leave ensure the clubhouse windows are closed and the door is securely locked.
