Hallamshire Lockdown Update - 

​

Dear Members,

​

The Hallamshire is COMING BACK, in stages, as follows:

​

PHASE 1 return: 29th March 2021

​

STEP 1 – What is returning?

On Monday 29th March the outdoor tennis courts will reopen, and the following activities are expected to return:

• Singles Play

• Doubles Play

• Limited Socials

• Coaching

• Box Leagues

• Tennis Club Championships 2021

• ​

Courts will be bookable 2 weeks in advance from Monday 15th March. The Tennis Club Championship draws and box leagues will also be released on Monday 15th March. Social and match practice sessions will also return, but you may only play with up to 6 different players in the session. The social and match practice sessions will be available to book on the 15th March for the first week back on 29th March. All sessions from the week commencing 5th April will be back to the normal 48 hours in advance booking rule.

​

STEP 2 – When are the courts open?

When the club reopens on Monday 29th March, the opening hours are

Monday to Friday 6.55am to 9.15pm

Saturday and Sunday 8.55am to 5.15pm

These are the first steps in the road to reopening and we will constantly monitor the court usage and amend if the demand is there.

 

STEP 3 – What to do before you return?

Renew your membership – Contact us on the days and times below to renew your membership so that you are ready to book straight away. We have direct debit options as well as 3, 6 and 12 month memberships.

Not a Tennis member? You can temporarily alter your squash, racketball or gym membership to tennis. Email helen@hallamshire.net for more information.

Top up your account – Between 1st March and 29th March the Hallamshire will add 10% of any prepayments from £0.00 to £200.00 and 15% of any prepayments from £201.00 to £250.00 made over the phone onto your account. Top up £100 and receive £10.00 additional credit!

​

STEP 4 – Last minute things to remember.

• All bookings must be made prior to arrival at the club.

• Only the outdoor areas can reopen on 29th March. This means that there will be no access to the main club house beyond reception in the early weeks back.

• Balls and grips will be available to purchase at reception.

• Remember to bring a snack and bottled water if needed.

• There will be a toilet to use.

• Please remember to arrive just before your booking.

• Face masks must be worn at all times when inside and passing through the Hallamshire.

• Please remember to use hand sanitiser.

• If you think you've been in contact with someone who has coronavirus please do not attend the club.

• Please maintain social distancing while at the Hallamshire.

​

Days and times to contact the Hallamshire reception team

​

Every Monday, Thursday and Friday 9.30am to 3pm there will be a member of staff at the club to take your calls, to renew memberships and to top up your account.

If you are unable to contact us then, please email helen@hallamshire.net and we’ll arrange a different time.

​

Potential PHASE 2 return on 12th April 2021

We are still awaiting further information on the next stage of the club’s return to normal running. What does seem certain is that the gym will reopen and the café/bar will be able to serve drinks outside in the patio areas.

The government has not fully advised as to how that will work moving forward, but we are looking forward to serving you all soon. We have purchased additional seating in preparation.

There is a possibility that squash, racketball and indoor tennis may return in limited way as part of Phase 2.

​

And lastly for now…

​

We are very much looking forward to seeing you all again soon. Remember to book a game, contact your friends, book a box league match, sign up to a social session or a match practice session, book a coaching session, or do all of these things.

​

Kind regards

​

The Hallamshire Team
