The revised guidance from the LTA is now available through the link below, which confirms there are now no current restrictions on movement around the club, numbers attending and accessing the clubhouse. With the removal of Covid restrictions from Saturday 24th July we will return to open "social play" on Saturday afternoons and Tuesday evenings. For some of our recent members this will be something new. Open social play will start from 1pm on Saturdays and 6pm on Tuesday evenings, and of course everyone is welcome and encouraged to come down and mix in, even if you can only make if for an hour or just one set. Boldmere has always been known as the friendly and welcoming club, with much of this reputation coming from our inclusive approach to social play on Saturdays and Tuesdays. Everyone coming down will mix in, getting a chance to meet new members and to have a great range of play. Hopefully after the fantastic sunshine we've had recently the weather will remain kind and allow for a great afternoon for many of you to get down for our first restriction free social tennis. Local guidelines through this link. For now though the detailed guidance from the LTA is available through the link below.
