Hello 2019 Dunmoore Members,

We hope everyone is keeping well during these times and we wanted to let you know what is happening at Dunmoore this year as we noticed you have not yet signed up for the 2020 season.

Memberships:
If you hold a valid 2020 Dunmoore Membership (Adult, Junior or Family), your 2020 Membership will carry over into 2021. This will also apply to League and Team fees as we do not anticipate that there will be any organized play this season.

You can register on-line if you haven’t already done so. Go to https://dunmooretennisclub.com/home/memberships/

The nets are now up at Dunmoore so tennis is finally back, but in a limited capaticy.

In order to open Dunmoore Tennis, the Executives have had to ensure some stringent guidelines are followed by participants in the wake of the pandemic. A waiver has been created that details all the additional rules to abide by for play.

1. Physical distancing must be maintained at all times. There are to be no crowds at the club and the bleachers will be restricted.

2. Only singles tennis will be permitted until we are told otherwise by the City (there will not be any league, teams or social events for the time being).

3. Members are asked to wait for a court to open up and remain outside the club. The 30 minute rule will still apply (i.e. the court that has been occupied the longest by players will have to leave 30 minutes after they have been advised by players waiting for a court).
4. Each member will be asked to review, sign and return the attached waiver to the Club Secretary at secretary.dunmooretennisclub@gmail.com. You can either print it off and sign it, scan or take a picture of the signed waiver and email it back or mail/hand deliver it (address upon request).

5. Once your signed waiver has been received, you will receive the new gate code. This code is for your use only – please do not pass it out to others.

6. Once you have used the court, we need members to send an email to secretary.dunmooretennisclub@gmail.com with the following information. This is mandatory information requested by the City of Pickering:

First and last names of members playing on the court
Arrival and departure time
Date
7. Members are required to sanitize their hands prior to entering the gate code and opening/closing the gate and when possible, sanitizing any surface they have touched. Members will be asked to bring any supplies they require with them.

8. Members will need to bring home any recycling or garbage with them. Garbage cans and recycling bins will not be available. Any forgotten items will be thrown out (with the exception of tennis bags of racquets).

9. Members will NOT be allowed to bring any guests with them to the club.

10. Public washrooms will remain closed for the time being.

11. Anyone exhibiting respiratory symptoms on the courts should leave immediately.

Any violation of the above rules will put you at risk of having your membership suspended and possibly revoked.

We understand that these conditions are not ideal but the safety of all members is priority for the Executive and the City. Let's all work together to keep everyone safe and healthy.

We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding during these difficult times.

Thank you,
Dunmoore Executive Committee ... See MoreSee Less

(COVID-19 Latest Update as of May 15th, 2020)

Hello to the Dunmoore Faithful

I do truly hope that during this very challenging time you have all remained safe and healthy. I hope your families have had time to bond (possibly too much) and they have also remained safe and well.

I do know all of you have been very patient and awaiting the opening of our club. Although the Province of Ontario has allowed the courts to open, there are many new guidelines we will need to follow. Those guidelines have not been released at this time. We are absolutely closer to opening but at this time the courts are still NOT allowed to be accessed for any purpose. We will be preparing the club as soon as we get those guidelines and will reassess our club events and leagues with the Executive Committee to maximize the events.

The Executive will be discussing the modification of the membership fees for this season once we know the opening date of the club. For those who have paid and are no longer interested remaining a member this season, a refund is always available to you before the club opens. Please contact our membership director, Christina, atmemberships.dunmooretennisclub@gmail.com.

Your patience is appreciated and I do hope we will be able to see each other very soon.
Below is the notice received from the City of Pickering today, May 15. I will keep everyone updated as soon as I have more information.

Thank you again,
Craig Rowsell
President – Dunmoore Tennis Club

City of Pickering Information:

As part of the Province of Ontario’s phased reopening strategy, tennis courts are permitted to open on May 19. As such, staff will be working on a set of guidelines each association must abide by to open and operate. We will work hard to get the tennis courts open as soon as possible, but until safeguards are in place, play may not commence without written approval from the City. We are committed to have you out using the courts and enjoying your sport & the sunshine as soon as possible. More details and updates will be provided.
