We decided to open the club for the 2021 season earlier than usual, on 29th March – the earliest date allowed for sports venues – and members seem delighted, especially as it's unseasonably warm and sunny. We are limited to just lawn 1 for the first two days (due to work on the oaks off the north boundaries of lawns 2-5 making the lawns unusable) and it is divided into half lawns. We expect to have 5 lawns in use by Wednesday with them all usable as half lawns or full lawns, and – all being well – 9 by late Summer.
