Can I be first in line to make a cheeky bid for your racket when you decide, around September time, that you've lost interest and want to flog your new gear?

Don't go to Hove park as the tennis courts per hour are so expensive, I think something like £9 per hour

We've been going to Preston park where it's 7.50 but they don't seem to police it very vigilantly ended up paying some times and others been there for an hour and not been asked at all.

Preston Park tennis courts are free before 10 everyday and free when the attendant decides to abandon their post early.
Other than that, the are about £7.50 per court for adults.

Same for the courts in St Ann's Well Gardens, Hove. Normally, they only charge you for an hour and let you play as long as you want, provided the courts are not all being used and people are waiting to play.

Forgot about them and same for Hove Park, I think. Not sure if Kingsway are being governed this year. Good to hear they used their nuts and didn't charge for over the hour.
I was a Preston Park attendant last year. Great summer job. The amount of attendants have diminished due to cut back. :-(

heard the attendants are pretty lax there BOF
Haha. Now, maybe.
I think the LTA are taking them over soon, so no idea what they plan on doing with them.

Can't believe they've let those two bowling greens just turn into mini forests! They were fantastic for football!

Are they as steep as the north face of the eiger? Not sure I've ever seen a flat piece of ground in Hollingbury?
The ones up Ditchling Road? They're often full. I suppose it depends on the time. (There's a tennis club that meets up there). When I'm working at home I walk past them every day with the dogs.
Off topic a bit, but these prices seem a bit steep. No wonder 'poor' kids don't play and thus we (Britain) miss out on a lot of potential talent.
