We joined Harbour Club recently specifically because of the tennis courts for our daughter to practice tennis. We don’t use other facilities. We would be very disappointed if one of the courts is taken away. We would have appreciated if this could have been mentioned when we joined the club, as it would certainly have had a bearing on our decision to join.

The only reason we have became members is so Bella, our daughter can access to private tennis lessons. We have struggled to find suitable times for Bella to join Tennis lessons during the week after school, so she is currently doing on Sundays morning. Moving forward we hope to find a time during the week that she can join a group or private lesson. We are keen in maintaining tennis courts and not reduce the capacity for delivering tennis courts, which is already limited.

I strongly recommend keeping all 3 tennis courts. Three is already barely enough and moving to two will cause conflicts between demand for coaching, clinics, and those just looking for a game. Also indoor paddleball is going to create an awful noise.

We need all 3 tennis courts and the club needs an update. The bathrooms are in a terrible state.

Not enough tennis court yet removing one is a bad decision. Also the nouse will make the other two unplayable.

We definitely cannot afford to lose a court.

We already don’t have enough courts. This doesn’t make any sense.

I can guarantee there are more members who want to keep the tennis courts than want paddle courts. Paddle is a trend, tennis is a lifestyle.

Any reduction in the tennis facilities would be incredibly disturbing, given the difficulty in booking court time already. The club may think of this as a 1/3 reduction in available court time, but it is in reality much greater than that. For many hours, the courts are pre-booked for clinics, private lessons and other programs, leaving only minor availability (especially in non-work hours). Removing an entire court will have a disproportionate effect on availability of non-program bookings. I, for one, will cancel my membership immediately.

As the HC Nottinghill (volunteer) team manager for London Ladies League 3, I can assure you that the news regarding a potential reduction of 3 tennis courts to 2, has sent a tsunami of discontent through the ranks of membership at our Club. The lack of communication around refurbishment to its members, has left everyone (both men and women within the tennis community) questioning their relationship with the Club going forward. Most find it both appalling and direspectful that we have had to hear of this massive change via rumors. Raquet members expect that you will be reducing membership fees to reflect the ongoing loss of court time going forward.

We need minimum 3 courts for league games. Also, we already struggle finding courts for private lessons and playing with order members with 3 tennis courts. Right now tennis is the main reason for most of the members to come to the club. By limiting the area for this key activity, you have suboptimal offers in multiple levels which will not be satisfactory to anyone

You could plan for paddle courts in the parking section.

Hopefully this petition will help you reconsider your plans and prevent the dismantling of a lovely family and friends oriented tennis club!

O would really like Hclub management to consult with the members foe this huge undertaking of reducing 3 to 2 courts. If this happens, I will go elsewhere.

The indoor tennis courts at Harbour Club Notting Hill hold a significant advantage in this area. However, if only two courts remain, it will no longer qualify as a proper tennis venue. We will lose the opportunity to participate in the London Tennis League ! Quite a few new members who are keen to join tennis membership now because of the activities of the tennis program has been running successfully. To remove one tennis court would be an absolutely terrible decision!
