The monsoon rain that we suffered on New Years' Day caused a flood of rainwater to enter the clubhouse and create significant damage to the carpets and floors.  The rainwater flooding has drained away quickly but left considerable damage which we are starting to deal with.  We have already met with the insurance loss adjuster to start the process of repair and replacement.  

The clubhouse is very damp with sodden carpets and condensation so is closed for use of the bar, and all social events, indoor sports and socialising until further notice, which is likely to be several weeks.  The carpets and probably the hard floors will have to be removed and replaced.  

The clubhouse can be accessed to switch on the tennis floodlights, and use the toilets.  The light switches are safe to use but the sockets retain moisture and must not be used by members for the time being.  Members must be careful moving around the various rooms because there are drying machines and cables on the floors.  The drying machines must not be moved nor their settings altered.  

Tennis can be played on all the courts.  Coaching sessions are being run as usual, and social sessions can go ahead as can winter league matches.  The bowling pavilion can be used for shelter from bad weather, changing clothes, signing match scorecards and for socialising in small groups.   

The green has escaped any significant damage and should be open for play as planned in March.
