Court Lighting Policy

1. Access to the court lights is via a switchboard in the main Clubhouse, or the Book a Court keypad.
2. Only Committee members, accredited Topline Coaches, and Competition Team Captains are to have access to the Clubhouse and its facilities (including lights) via the key in the Safe Lock Box.
3. Court lights are only to be used for the following:
   1. Competition Play: – To prepare for play, turn on the lights a practical amount of time before the official start. In consideration of the impact on neighbouring households, the lights should be turned off promptly for each court as soon as competition play has been completed.
   2. Competition Practice: - Adult financial members playing competition tennis may utilise lights (where required) for competition practice, but these should be turned off promptly once practice is completed, and in any case must not be used after 10.00pm at night.
   3. Coaching: - Lights (where required) should be turned on at the beginning of a Topline coaching session and promptly turned off at its conclusion.
   4. Book a Court: - Non-junior members, social players with membership and the public can access the court lights through the Book a Court system. Charges apply.
4. In the event of problems with court lights, members can contact Mike Paterson.

All play using lights must be completed by 10pm. Competition can only go later than 10pm if necessary. In this case the lights must be off by 10:30pm.
