Public Access:
On Saturdays, non members are permitted to use 1 court (Court 3) from 12-4pm free of charge. Entry to the court is via the public gate (ie beside the bike racks), this will be left unlocked during those times. No booking required – use of the court is on a first come/first served basis. Play is limited to one hour if there are others waiting to play. The club rules as posted on the fence must be obeyed. No entry to the clubhouse. The other courts may not be used. Non members must vacate the courts by 4pm. Note: Public Access may be suspended if the courts are needed for league matches or internal competitions.
Carraig Club Opening Hours
As a member you will receive a fob which gives access to members through the main gate to the club grounds and to the clubhouse. The club is accessible between 08.00 and 22.00 every day. There is a short grace period after 10 p.m. (about 20 mins) to allow for switching off floodlights, activating the alarm and exiting the property. After that time the electronic access shuts down, so it is important to be off the premises (as your fob will no longer work).
Note: Junior fobs only permit access to the courts from 10am-8pm.
Court Booking
Members must book courts in advance via the court booking system, Skedda. If you cannot play please cancel your booking in good time and notify members via the WhatsApp group that a court is available. Penalties will be imposed for repeat ‘no shows’.
Clubhouse Alarm
When you arrive at the club, at any time of day, if there is no one there before you then you must assume the alarm is on. So if you intend using ANY PART of the clubhouse, open the main clubhouse door FIRST and then go straight through the kitchen door into the foyer [you will need to use your fob to access the foyer] and deactivate the alarm [enter the code into the SMALL grey keypad which is located to the left of the main door in the foyer].
Note: don’t assume that the alarm is not set just because you cannot hear it as you enter the kitchen; it is only when you open the door to the foyer that you hear it.
When you are leaving the club, at any time of day, if you are the last to leave, then you must activate the alarm [enter the code into the keypad AND then press SELECT].
Note: Do keep your fob on your person at all times. In case of an emergency, contact any member of the committee.
