Hello to all our wonderful followers,
As you know our gallery is located at the heart of Grantham Tennis Club. Our opening hours are in tune with theirs. The club are doing their very best in keeping young and old people active on their OUTDOOR courts in twos or fours mindful of safe distancing.
It’s a difficult time for everyone. If there is anything on our facebook or instagram posts that you are interested in please message us and we’ll try our best to help you. Remember to keep supporting your local artists and businesses as much as possible where you can. Thank you.
We want to keep our community and the wider community safe.
Please remember:-
1. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms associated with the virus such as a new cough, fever or shortness of breath, we encourage you to be responsible and NOT
attend the club.
2. Please keep use of Grantham Tennis Clubhouse to a minimum. If players and parents need to use the clubhouse, please follow the guidelines of keeping social distances and follow signs for handwashing etc. All doors are open to ensure free movement around the building.
