ACCOUNT TOP-UPS

- Top-Up Vouchers can be purchased either by post from the Hon. Membership Secretary, Jacquie Phillips, 28 Hurstleigh Drive, Redhill RH1 2AA or Roger Crabb, 1 Bournefield Road, Whyteleafe, CR3 0BN (please include remittance and a stamped self-addressed envelope with orders), or at the bar.
COURT BOOKING
- Members are to use the online court booking system (http://reigate.mycourts.co.uk/) to reserve courts.
- The online booking system is to be used by members only for reserving 45-minute playing periods in advance, and the periods of play designated on these online booking sheets are the only times that may be reserved.
- Members may book courts up to 14 days in advance only. When booking 14 days in advance, the courts are only made available to be booked from 7am.
- No pair of players may book two successive courts.
- For access to the court booking system each member is provided with unique username, password and PIN. This information should not be shared and it is the responsibility of each member to keep this information safe and secure.
- The court must be booked prior to play.
- If a court has not been claimed within 15 minutes after the time for which it is booked any other player may claim the court, though the booking member may have subsequent priority.
- Players must leave the court at the end of their time if there are others waiting to play.
- Members must abide by the rules for booking courts at all times.
CANCELLATIONS
- If a court cannot be used, the booking should be cancelled as soon as possible, so that other members may play on it.
- The Court Booking Fee is automatically refunded when the court is cancelled more than 48 hours prior to play. If the booking is cancelled within 48 hours prior to start time, the Court Booking Fee is refunded only if the court is re-booked by another member.
ATTIRE ON COURT
- All users of the courts are required to wear non-marking court shoes whenever on court.
GUESTS
- No guest is permitted to play more than three times during a playing season and at all times must be accompanied by the introducing member.
- Members bringing guests should book a court as normal, selecting member "*** GUEST ***" as their opponent. There is a fee of £2.00 for each guest. Payment should be made using the Credit Transfer facility in the booking system to transfer the appropriate fee to “*** GUEST ***”, with the date of the court and name of the guest(s) included in the memo section of the transfer.
GROUPS
- Certain groups have been allocated limited playing periods as displayed in the booking system. Any member may play on any unoccupied court with the consent of the group supervisor.
The introduction of the new online booking system is a big change for the club and it is in the interests of all members that it is a success. If any member is found to be abusing it the Committee will ask that member to resign.
