New lighting/heating system - contactless

Hi all,

As per recent WhatsApp message we are installing a new court lighting/heating system - hopefully next Thursday (2nd). The courts might be out of action for a bit.

This is moving us away from the inconvenient token system and you will be able to pay by debit/credit card, Apple Pay, Android Pay etc. Your bank account will be directly debited.

If you have any tokens and would like to be reimbursed then please let either myself or Yan know and we will debit your account.

The new charges will be:

Lighting - 30 mins - £3
Heating - 30 mins - £1

Therefore playing with just lights for an hour will cost £6, and with heaters £8. There will be no charge for booking the courts (see below). This represents a small increase in cost and implicitly includes a small booking fee, covering the monthly charge for the new system and also higher electricity prices. Effectively this represents a 50p increase for 30 minutes play.

We are also close to also having a new court booking system which will be App based - more details to follow.

We hope the new system will go smoothly but if there are any teething problems do let me know. Fingers crossed it goes well and makes things more convenient for you to play in the future.

Thanks,

Shane
