At the October committee meeting, it was agreed that floodlighting should be switched from card payment to a free system over a year to assess cost impact and then complete a further review of the appropriate longer-term approach to adopt. As of today, the floodlighting control boxes have been replaced with straightforward on/off switches. Cards are no longer required, but please ensure that you turn the lights off when leaving the courts after play!

However, the electrician found an issue with one of the underground cables and until this is fixed there will be one light out of action until a cable repair is completed but that should not impact play too much – the remainder are fully operational.  If you find any issue with the new system please get in contact with me.
