Facilities & Committee
As a committee, we are focused on upgrading the ASRC facilities in a responsible way, taking measured decisions when it comes expenditure.
- Essential maintenance: Following our review of the electrics at the club, we are carrying out essential works soon. As a result, the entire club will be closed on Wednesday 4 December. We apologise for the inconvenience, however, we must ensure the works can be carried out safely.
- Courts: We can confirm that Courts 1 & 2 will be closed for the week commencing 16 December. This is for a full refurbishment to the same level as Courts 6 & 7.
- Committee vacancy: We have a vacancy on the Committee. We'd love to fill it with an individual who is passionate about the club and has supervisory and/or HR experience. If you'd like to join us, please email [email protected].
