Blue courts?


We've completed our evaluations of the tennis court resurfacing quotations and made our recommendations to the GC and tender board. They'll be making the final decision on contract, but the Ad-hoc resurfacing committee and the GC have done an excellent job of refining the quotations so that either vendor's product should be suitable for our players... Just to recap a few things that I can tell you before the contract is awarded: We are recommending that 4 courts be resurfaced at this time , we are also recommending recycling some of the old turf to repair the remaining 4 courts until their resurfacing later, the completion time for resurfacing 4 courts is 12 weeks (3 months) from time of awarding of contract. We requested that they shutdown 2 courts first to try to maximize playing time for our members before the courts are closed for resurfacing...
One thing we haven't discussed is the color choice for the courts... we sort of assumed all along that we would maintain light green/dark green but many members of the GC and ad hoc committee were rather pleasantly shocked to see Blue courts as a possible color choice.... what do you think of this possibility for either the courts themselves or the backcourts?

i would prefer we stick to green, thank you.
As we are moving towards the rainy time of year are you considering making every night 3 sessions so that everyone gets a chance to play?
Also the new signing time rlue of signing when 32 members are present is very difficult for people who work as others come so early to start queuing. For a game that starts at 6.15 or possibly 6 we have to come by 5.15! Thats a whole hour of someones time just hanging around. PLEASE look into this and consider reverting back or making the signing time 20 mins before playing time instead of 30 mins.
Thank you

Hi there,
Blue courts are great during the day but will it affect play at night? Perhaps the suppliers can enlighten us?
