Aldersbrook Lawn Tennis Club

Opening Hours:  The courts are open from 7:00am to 9:30pm. To book a court, please use our online booking system here.

Floodlights:  The floodlights are controlled as part of your court booking and there is a charge of £2.50 per 30 minutes of floodlight usage. If your court booking is for any time after dusk, you will be charged for the use of the floodlights for any 30 minute period after dusk. The floodlights will come on at the start of your booking time and will turn off at the end of your booking (unless someone else has booked the court immediately after you, in which case they will remain on).

The lights automatically go off at 9.30pm, due to local authority planning restrictions.

Club Tournaments:  Members are encouraged to enter our annual club tournament. The club tournament takes place from April, with club finals day being a big event. Read more

Social:  We organise numerous social events throughout the year, including some regular favourites, such as our annual curry night in December. The finals day of our club tournaments are always a big occasion. The bar is also open during our Tuesday club sessions. Read more

Guests:  Guests are welcome at ALTC, on payment of £5.00 per visit. A guest can come a maximum of three times  without becoming a member.

Dress code:  We are not a “tennis-whites” kind of club. However, we are here to play sport and expect our  members to dress accordingly: no jeans or beachwear. We insist on tennis shoes being worn to protect the courts and yourselves: and if you have an urge to remove your shirt in the summer months, please desist.

Rules & Regs:  Displayed on the club noticeboard. ALTC club rules are obvious and largely common sense. We require respect, courtesy and consideration towards  fellow members and club premises. We all aim to keep the courts and pavilion clean and tidy at all times and we don’t like swearing, racquet abuse or cheating. Read more
