Snippets 14/05/20

3 days to go til your dreams come true!!  An enormous amount of work has been put in by the Executive Committee and various sub-committees to have everything in readiness for Opening Day. 

We are so lucky as tennis players to be one of the first sports to be given the opportunity to play again....but with it comes a huge responsibility. We will be very much monitored to see we keep to the strict guidelines that we have been given. I have no doubt that our members will adhere to all protocols. The full list of MLTC rules (as per Gov. & Tennis Ireland) are on the website.

To summarise:

  • No Cars will be admitted to the club

  • On arrival for your game use the sanitisers which are placed on the wall of the clubhouse and are numbered for each court...and use same after your game..but it is advisable to bring your own sanitiser. ...and water bottle.

  • Please bring your own tennis balls and mark them with your initials.

  • Take note that your game should finish 10 minutes before the hour to allow the next players arrive.

  • The most critical rule of all is KEEP YOUR 2 METER DISTANCE.

COURT BOOKING TIMES:

SENIOR:

Monday-Friday, 9am - 2pm & 5pm - 9pm

Saturday / Sunday: 9am - 2pm & 5pm - 7pm

As there is NO ACCESS to the clubhouse, the Defibrillator has been relocated to the right of the main clubhouse door.

If you'd like to treat yourself to a restring or even some nice new gear, Michael in Grandstand is your man!  He will be working a hatch system at the front door of his shop (Patrick St. D/L) from next Monday., 10am - 2pm, Mon - Fri.  He can be contacted on 01 2300899 if you'd like any more info from him.  As always he'll look after his Monkstown members!

We're all just finding our way in this most unusual situation, so lets feel very privileged and excited to be back in our special club....even the weather forecast for next week is good!

All that is left for me to say is "WELCOME BACK"
