The property of the Tennis club and other members property remains their property and should be treated with respect – i.e. Clubhouse in general /tennis balls/ table tennis table/racquets/balls etc… - property should be returned or replaced as it was used!!!
All bicycles etc should be put against the parity walls (The outside walls) and NOT the clubhouse wall.  (paint damage etc).
The Practice wall has overhead netting – if a ball gets tangled in the netting there should be no attempt to recover same – they will come down eventually.  
The private properties adjoining the external walls of the Tennis club should NEVER be entered – unless explicit permission has been given by the property owner.

When the courts are full and more members require a court – those playing singles should 
	 (a) double up with another singles court if available OR 
	 (b) finish up their set of play or remain for 30. Mins  - which ever comes first ! –  	NOTE : Those requiring a court should always make 	it clear to those playing that 	they are waiting for a court.  Obviously 	those  who have been playing the longest will 	be the first to vacate the  courts.
