CLUB RULES

 

THESE RULES WILL BE REVIEWED AT THE END OF EVERY YEAR.  IF ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS ARISE BEFORE THIS TIME, THE      COMMITTEE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE AMENDMENTS.

 

1. Play at all times is subject to the rules and regulations of the recreation ground, which are displayed on the Cricket Pavilion.

5. Sensible footwear must be worn on the courts.  No hared soled or ribbed trainers or black soled shoes.   This is to conserve the surface and it is therefore in everyone’s interest to adhere to this rule.
