MLTC – Social Play during the COVID 19 virus

Dear Members

You would now be aware that the 2020 Badge is currently postponed indefinitely due to the recent issue with the COVID 19 virus.

While all members should now be aware of the appropriate precautions that people need to undertake to combat COVID 19 – no handshakes, washing hands regulatory , disinfecting hands where possible, keeping your distance and of course do not attend if you are feeling unwell or have been in contact with someone who is unwell.

MLTC will endeavour to disinfect surfaces within the Clubhouse of often as possible, however due to the lack of availability of supplies this will not always be possible. As such Members should be prepared to bring their own personal sanitiser where possible.

In light of recent announcements the Bar will remain closed until further notice.

I think it is important that people keep exercising during this crisis period, but I think that members, particularly our older members should consider keeping social gatherings after tennis to a minimum.

After some consideration, the committee has decided there will be social play on all 6 courts from 1.00-4.00pm commencing Saturday March 21.

A Committee member will be rostered on as Court Captain for the next 8 weeks ending May 9. Members willing to assist in putting sets on would be appreciated by the Court Captains.

Any Badge team wanting to practice can do so after 4pm on Saturday or anytime Sunday on Member courts.

Hygiene details supplied by Tennis Australia are on the Notice Board and in the toilets where hand sanitizers have been provided. We urge all members to be respectful of each other during these difficult times.

President
