BCP moves into Tier 4
As you may already be aware, the BCP area moves into Tier 4 restrictions from midnight tonight (Wednesday 30th December).
Consequently, only the following activities can take place at Southbourne Tennis Club:
1) singles tennis between different or the same households
2) doubles tennis from the same household
3) one-to-one coaching
4) under 18 coaching
5) disabled coaching
6) competitions for under 18 & disabled players
All adult club sessions and group coaching are cancelled.
We will monitor the government restrictions and return to our current level of tennis as soon as conditions allow.
In the meantime, the committee would like to wish all our members, coaches and supporters a happy and safe New Year and hope that we will see you on court as soon as possible in 2021
Best wishes

Adult sessions
We are hoping that you are once again enjoying being able to play tennis in the organised sessions. Can we please remind you that you MUST sign up online (by the day before) for any session which you would like to play in. We have had incidences when far more people have been at the club than should be, and this puts us at a higher risk of exposure to the virus. Very shortly we are hoping that we will be able to make a list available to session supervisors of those who have signed up, which means we can control numbers properly.
Can I also remind you that the Clubhouse is only open for the use of the toilets, and if you do use them, can you please remember to wipe down any surfaces you may have touched.
Wishing you an enjoyable, safe and peaceful Christmas.
With best wishes
STC committee
Reopening of club from Wed 2nd December
Lockdown 2.0
Dear Southbourne Tennis Club Member
As you will now be aware, the government has imposed a state of lockdown until early December.
We had hoped that certain aspects of tennis would be exempt from the lockdown but this does not appear to be the case.
Southbourne Tennis Club will be completely closed from midnight on Wednesday 4th November until further notice.
Please do not attend the club until we inform you that the club has reopened.
We will monitor the ongoing situation and plan to reopen the club at the earliest opportunity.
Best wishes
David Bull
Chairman, Southbourne Tennis Club
