Safety glasses are recommended

Staying hydrated is also important.

Wearing a sun hat and using sun cream is recommended

Take a break between games and chat to your fellow picklers.

Please ensure if you bring any guests, they are aware of basic on-court safety.

 

Defibrillator and First Aid Box

There is a defibrillator on the outside wall on the right-hand side of the main entrance as you walk into the club. It is unlocked.  

The first aid box is in the clubhouse cupboard, which is marked with the First Aid sign. It is important to complete an accident report book if any first aid is administered.
