SQUASH SHOES AND OTHER RULES
We must remind players that Shoes with Black Soles are not permitted even if they say NON MARKING. Squash Court 2 & 3 were badly damaged at the weekend because of Black marks.

Also we have had to remove chewing Gum, Stones, Food and other damaging items from the courts. It is very important that we respect the courts and refrain from bringing food, drinks and dirt on court.

LASTLY, some Juniors are NOT wearing their Squash Goggles on court!!!! It is so important that you ensure they wear their Goggles. It is compulsory world wide until they reach 19 year and there is a good reason. If you are hit with a squash ball in the EYE it is very unlikely the eye will recover. If a junior is seen on court without goggles they will be told to leave the court. If they continuously refuse to abide by the rules of squash they will be reported to management.

UPDATE ON TENNIS COURTS

Airhall is fully operational with lights successfully installed on Wednesday. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped on the day.

Courts 5-9 are all back in action. Please take extra precaution when playing on courts 5 and 8 as there is temporary fencing on the side of those courts.

Courts 1-4 are all out of action.

UPDATE ON NEW LED FLOODLIGHTS COURTS 5-9

Please note that Courts 5-9 have new poles and new LED floodlights installed. You will notice significant difference in lighting levels from what we used to have.

Important reminder - All of the new LED lights have a setting where they all remain on ambient lighting levels (5%) by default. These ambient lights are NOT SUITABLE FOR PLAY. You still need to swipe your card to avail of the full 100% lighting level.

Enjoy your game :)
