Dover Tennis Club Guidelines for Safe Return to Play - COVID-19 - May 21, 2020
The Port Dover Tennis Club has been notified by Norfolk County that the courts will be opened by the end of today (May 21). The PDTC will not be organising any activities at this time, players will have to organise their own matches.
All players should still follow all Provincial and local rules on social distancing and generally apply common sense in their use of the courts. Click the link below for the list of recommendations based on OTA guidelines with additional suggestions specific to the Port Dover courts.
APRIL 17, 2020 FOLLOW UP
Due to the corona virus closure of the courts (see March 31, 2020 notice below), the executive committee has unanimously agreed to waive payment of club membership dues for 2020.
The club has sufficient financial reserves to cover the needed cost of insurance for the year, and is attempting to get a rebate on the premiums paid.
If restrictions are lifted sufficiently to allow club functions, they will be funded on a pay as you go basis.
Hoping to see you on the courts later this year, in the meantime please stay safe and keep in touch with your tennis and other friends.

President PDTC
MARCH 31, 2020 - IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

The purpose of this notice is to communicate the impact of Covid-19 on our Tennis Club's activities.
Norfolk County has closed all recreational facilities, including our tennis courts. No adults or youths are permitted on any Norfolk Sports Complex property unless they are just "passing through".
