Covid-19 Update
28 May 2020
We are continuing to work with Tennis NZ and within Government Guidelines to provide a safe facility for our members and the public to play tennis while we are in Alert Level 2. While group numbers have increased, the same rules still apply re registering for contract tracing purposes, staying a safe distance from other players, and maintaining high levels of hygiene. The clubhouse remains closed, although toilets will be available on club days.
Please read our safety guidelines and NZ Tennis guidelines below and follow the required steps - while it's great to have been granted relatively normal access to tennis, it's really important to stay safe, for you and our wider community.
Please note the following conditions for playing at MPTC during Level 2:
- Play is now permitted outside of our bubbles, and as of Saturday 30 May in groups up to 100.
- Before you play, all players MUST COMPLETE the Tennis NZ Contact Tracing Form (failure to this will result in no further play during Covid levels.)
- All gates have been secured open to avoid any contact on entry.
- Remain 2 metres apart from other players at all times, and only use / touch your own equipment (this includes not touching other balls that wander between courts).
- Because there are no communal contact points, we have not provided hand sanitiser. Please bring your own, and wash / sanitise your hands before and after play.
- Club day tennis is running as 'normal' from Saturday 30 May, but please bring your own drink bottles and hand santitiser, and the clubhouse remains closed (although toilets will be available).
- The clubrooms & toilets remain closed at all other times.
- The carpark on Quarry Road has been resealed and is open for use.
