Lighting  System

If this does not resolve the problems with the present booking systems , we then plan that all players will have to sign in at the bar before they go on court

During the year the ability to top up your court booking account online was introduced. To follow on from this, control of the lights has been integrated into the court booking system. This means that when a court is booked, the lights will come on automatically if needed and the cost of the lights will be split evenly across all names on the court booking.

With this new system in place, members will only have one account for both court bookings and lights which can be topped up online using the ‘Manage Account -> Add Credit’ button within ebookingonline.net/box/box3.php?id=138

There will be no longer a need to contact the office to add credit to your account.

When will this come into effect?

The new lights system will come into effect from Saturday the 26^th November. Any bookings made after this date that require lights will have the lights included by default in the cost of the court booking.

After this date, any money remaining on your lights account will be transferred over to your court booking account. NOTE: this is a manual process, so may take some time to complete for all members.

When will the lights come on?

The new lights system is based on sunset minus a configurable offset (set to 10 mins). If sunset (minus 10 mins) falls within the booking period, the lights will be automatically switched on for the duration of the booking.

Here is a list of the booking times for which the lights will be switched on automatically for the coming year.

• 4pm: 30 Oct – 30 Jan
• 5pm: 1 Feb – 2 Mar
• 6pm: 3 Mar – 25 Mar
• 7pm: 26 Mar – 6 Apr
• 8pm: 9 Apr – 11 May
• 9pm: 12 May – 6 Aug
• 8pm: 7 Aug – 4 Sep
• 7pm: 5 Sep – 29 Sep
• 6pm: 30 Sep – 26 Oct
• 5pm: 27 Oct – 28 Oct
• 4pm: 29 Oct – 31 Jan

Junior Court Bookings

The lights for junior players are switched on by the club. All junior courts should be booked by emailing the club at courts@stannestennis.com. The office staff will let you know which court is reserved and switch on the lights as needed. Unfortunately, the names can’t be added to the court booking (otherwise the names on the booking would be charged)

Coaches Bookings

Please note when a coach is booking a private lesson (senior or junior) during hours that require lights, the coach will be charged the total cost of the booking which includes booking and lights costs.
