Welcome to the Eden Epsom Tennis and Squash Club. We trust that you will enjoy the use of our facilities both socially and competitively.
A swipe key is issued to members on payment of their subscription and a $25 refundable key deposit. The key will open the club house doors and operate the tennis court floodlights and the squash court lights.
Keys are not transferable and must not be lent to any other person. Lost keys should be reported to the Manager, who has replacement keys available at a charge of $25 per key.
Honorary (non playing) members and casual players are not issued with a key.
Eden Epsom prides itself on its relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere so whilst the rules are not vigilantly policed it must be appreciated that they are necessary. The rules are sumarised below for your information and guidance.
On court players must wear sports clothing. Mens shirts must have sleeves. Singlets and running shorts are not permitted. Shoes must have nonmarking soles and be suitable for tennis or squash.
In the lounge a reasonable standard of dress is required at all times.
Members are responsible for their visitors who must meet the required dress standards and pay the visitors fee which is $10 per person per game. The fee is payable upon entry to the clubrooms before your booked game in the case of daytime tennis visitors deposited through the posting slot in the office wall using an envolope system.
Casual players pay their $10 per person per game to the Club Manager or to club staff on arrival at the club.
Booking sheets are provided for both tennis and squash and may be made up to one week in advance. Only two unused bookings may be current at any one time and the names of all players must be shown for the booking to be valid. At the end of the booked period players must vacate the court if other members are waiting.

Lights are activated by members access key from the lighting control box . Members wishing to practice alone or casual players may do this by borrowing a spare key from the office or bar.
NB. Members may not enter neighbouring properties at night to retrieve balls.
The lounge and bar area is for the use of senior members only.

The weekly email called "Good Hitting" is the main method of communication with members and is sent weekly on Thursday night or Friday. It has Items of tennis or squash interest and what is happening around the club. Copies are displayed on the noticeboards in the foyer.
Please advise the manager of any change of email, address or phone number (especially mobiles) so that the computer list can be kept up to date.
Resignations should be made in writing and keys returned to the Manager or admin office .
The Manager will generally be in attendance at the Club from 10am to 6pm Monday to Friday. Please do not contact the Manager at home except in emergency.
A master switch controls all lights and is located at the main door. Please turn this switch off if you are the last person to leave the building, or on if you are the first to enter.
Because the club is located in the middle of a residential area, noise must be kept to a minimum. Keep vehicle noise down in the carpark and observe parking and traffic signs. Our neighbours have been most tolerant in the past and we wish to keep it that way.
Children must be kept under control and supervised at all times within the club buildings and grounds.
Club play for members and visitors operates for both sports in season and is as follows:
Tennis: Wednesday night 6.30 to 9.30pm
Squash: Thursday Night 7 to 9pm
If you have any further queries about the club please contact the Manager or any of the Executive Committee members. Contact details for these people can be found by clicking here.
Welcome to Eden Epsom. I hope you enjoy the tennis and squash and I look forward to meeting you.
