The 4th court now has temporary lines and a net. It will still require a top coat of paint in a couple of weeks time to bring it to its full glory, but at least we now have four courts which will be very useful to you all and especially Joe during the summer match season. The 4th court floodlights also now work but are not to the standard of the others: Joe has the key. We are looking to upgrade the lights in due course.

When the court gets its full paint job, it will be dark green within the actual playing surface and light green around that. That should look wonderful and will highlight the actual playing area, so no reason whatsoever then to hit the ball out, though you will still need to get it over the net - we are  working on that one for you.

We will have to arrange for the court to be marked our for 5 a side football as well but have cunningly arranged that those lines will not impinge onto  the tennis court at all.

We are in discussion with the Estate and the church to agree times when we have priority on this court and those will then be bookable in the same way as the other three courts. However until we have that agreement, the use will be on a first come first served basis with Joe having first option.

This is just the first of many improvements we are making this year. As you know, we are the 'best little tennis club in North London' but why stop there!
