We host events in all kinds of weather, so if rain is forecast on the day or your event, come on out anyhow because we will be there (and what else are you going to do on a rainy day?). Our staff is experienced in “switching gears” for those inevitable days and will work even harder than usual to provide your group with a great day of fun.
Guests should bring bathing suits, towels and tennis equipment (if they are planning to swim and play tennis, that is). High Meadow provides all other sporting equipment. Guests should also dress appropriately for the weather and bring sunscreen if desired. And of course, a fun attitude will ensure a terrific experience.
No. Under the terms of our Connecticut State liquor license, the customer may not bring their own alcohol.
The CT Dept. of Revenue Services has established special rules with regard to purchases of “meals”. We are happy to supply your group with the specific information needed to complete the exemption process. If your organization is based in Connecticut, you must provide proof of either CT sales tax exemption status (with an “E” permit), or Federal tax exemption status with a US Treasury Letter showing 501c3 exemption. If your organization is based outside of Connecticut, then you must provide proof of Federal exemption status with a US Treasury Letter showing 501c3 exemption. Connecticut will not recognize any New York, Massachussets or other out-of-state exemption permits, but will honor Federal tax exempt status. Once exemption status has been proven, there is a particular CT exemption form that must be completed. We can assist you with the proper form.
