    Tennis Court Removal & Upgrades

    The management committee have approved the replacement of Tennis Courts 5 & 6 which are both badly needed, and this will take place in the next week or so from Wednesday 7th August and last for a few days until complete. We will be blocking off multiple courts from use for various days for health & safety reasons to allow the removal of the old courts and installation of the new courts before the start of our Senior Open on 17th August. Please bear with us during this time.

    Sutton LTC Lounge Bar

    During the Senior Open we will hope to open the bar for your use on a daily basis, and have many different non-alcoholic drinks and new drafts, wines plus we will hope to have some event nights for cocktails, gins mixes and other options – we will confirm in next week’s edition.

    Squash

    Reminder that squash courts must be booked in advance and light usage paid for, members are not permitted to just turn up and use the courts without a booking.
