​(MAY 5) - CALL FOR COURT MONITORS
​
As mentioned at the AGM, this year we are planning to hire a couple of Court Monitors for our Club. While we will likely need only one on site at a time, the seven days per week operations of the Club dictate that more than one Court Monitor will be required to cover the hours. 
 
Among other things, they will open and close the clubhouse at a regular time, make certain that everyone proceeding to the courts is either a paid member or a registered guest, and also help ensure that the Club's rules are being followed.
 
You might have a son/daughter, niece/nephew, or a neighbour who would be suitable for this role. Please see the Court Monitor position description below  and feel free to share it as you see fit.
