The club offers a variety of membership packages as listed below and you can either pay monthly or annually in a lump sum.

How to decide which membership package to choose

The membership year runs from 1 April to 31 March and which package you need is determined by your year of birth, in line with LTA rules for competition play. For example, this is 2024 and if you were born on or before 2005, you qualify for an Adult membership (since you are at least 19). Similarly, if you were born in 2010, you qualify for a Junior 16 & Under membership because you are 14. See the LTA Competition Age Group Calculator about the middle of that page if you are unsure.

Taking out a membership package will allow you to play in regional and national competitions.

Pick a membership package

Pick the membership package you want (see above), then click on either Pay in full, or Pay monthly, then click Join Now.

If you are not already a member, you will be asked to fill in a form with your name and address, contact details and so on. Once you have filled in all of the fields, click the button Continue to member details.

Follow the steps (and as described in the GoCardless tab above and the downloadable guide) to complete your membership. The process of paying via GoCardless is straightforward, and there is a dedicated tab that gives a step by step tutorial (above). You can also download the document to follow if you would prefer.

Taking out a membership package will allow you to play in regional and national competitions.

Payment options

The GoCardless option gives you the choice to pay monthly or yearly by Direct Debit. Selecting the GoCardless option for payment means you will be made an active member almost as soon as you finish the application for membership. If you choose the BACS method, there will be a delay in making your membership active of up to a week or more.

The BACS option only allows payment as a lump sum and you need to renew this each year.

Being a member

Being a member will allow you to book courts free of charge, take part in competitions locally and nationally, and so on.

The club has a Constitution in place, the terms of which apply to all members. It is a large document so we have a much smaller and simplified version that has most of the points you need to know. If you want to read the full Constitution, click here.

British Tennis Membership

Once you join the club, you can also become a "British Tennis Member" (BTM), free of charge. We recommend you do this as there are some benefits to this and some competitions you cannot enter without being a BTM member.

Junior Coaching packages

The club also offers coaching packages for junior players. You do not need to take out a membership in order to purchase a Junior Coaching package. but be aware that these packages may not let you participate in regional and national competitions.

Junior coaching is available all year round and runs outdoors during the spring and summer months and moves indoors to the nearby Activity Centre over autumn and winter.
