Tennis and Squash – both are back but..

admin

We are back!

There are still a few conditions but we are nearly back to ‘normal’!

  • If you are unwell – STAY AWAY
  • Use the online court booking system. From our web page via Pay2Play
  • Sign in! Register is in the foyer beside the main entrance door
  • Bring your own towel and water bottle – using the fountains is not recommended
  • Maintain physical distancing
  • Avoid touching shared surfaces – including not wiping your hands on equipment or the squash court walls
  • Use your own equipment and avoid sharing
  • Bump racquets rather than shaking hands after
  • The other common sense things that apply everywhere apply in and around the club also – sneeze/cough, if you have to, into your elbow, wash your hands, use sanitizer before and after…

The bar will likely re-open from next week.  We have removed some of the chairs and rearranged the tables.  This should enable people to socialise and maintain the required social distancing. This is still a bit of a moving feast so please bear with me/us if this takes a little longer than anticipated.

Next Thursday, I think we will have a squash club night, Kaye is organising and it is likely the last couple of Business house tennis matches will be played also, Jono is getting on to this now.  Club day is now also possible.  I have not heard how/if club day is on this Saturday but certainly from next weekend.

Weather permitting there will be a few playing tennis tomorrow afternoon and I know there are a few very keen squashers who will be on the courts too.  As I write this I note that there are already bookings!   If you are hanging out for a hit, and the weather is good, come down for a hit.  I’m planning to call into the club hopefully find a hit oft Squash and or Tennis.

Play safe, stay safe but play…

Hope to see you at the club sometime soon.

Covid-19; Warkworth Tennis and Squash club is now closed

admin

 

These are different times indeed. Unprecedented.

In line with recommendations and the action of other similar clubs the Warkworth Tennis and Squash Club will be closed until such time as the level of alert is reduced and we are advised and confident it is ‘safe’ for the club to resume its activities.

Isolation has been determined as the ‘best’ way to address the risk of transmission of Covid-19 in New Zealand and you are expected to adhere to the instruction from our national leaders.

In line with the announcements made over the last few days effective from tonight…

There will be no club activities until further notice.

No inter club

No inter house

No club sanctioned/funded coaching or training

No Club days or activities of any kind

No organised competition or gathering of any kind in the club

Given the directive from the Government this afternoon it is expected that there will be no activity of any kind in the club until the situation with Covid-19 is stabilized and we are advised it is safe for people to associate outside their household units.

We trust/hope that you are safe and remain healthy in body and mind during this time and look forward to seeing you back on the courts and at club organised events soon.

Our Tennis and Squash club captains will likely also be in touch.

At this time please do also be aware of those in our communities who are or become extremely isolated due to condition or circumstances and please do what you are able to assist or ensure they also remain well.  This could be anything from making a phone call to check up on them to notifying authorities if you become aware someone is at risk or suffering.

You, the Tennis and Squash club members are an active, proactive, positive enthusiastic and vibrant group of people  You should be assured you are valued by myself and the committee, and in all likeliness every person you have met on court or in the club.  I/we (the committee) look forward to seeing you in the club for a hit and a catch up as soon as the risk has abated.

Stay strong, share the love, look after yourselves.
