Following on from our last email of Friday 20th March, where we advised closure of the Club, a number of members and coaches have pointed out to the LTA guidelines recommending outdoor tennis subject to certain conditions.
We did not take the decision to close lightly, having consulted a number of other big London clubs including in the North West London area – we decided to close with a very heavy heart.
