The club offers a variety of annual membership packages as listed below and you can pay by Direct Debit monthly or yearly using the GoCardless option. Selecting the GoCardless option for payment means you will be made an active member as soon as you finish the application for membership. If you choose another method, there will be a delay in making your membership active of up to a week.
The process to paying via GoCardless is straightfoward, but we have a document you can download to follow if you want to. Click here.
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.
When first joining, you will be asked to create a log-in account. Being a member will allow you to book courts free of charge, take part in competitions locally and nationally, and so on.
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 a BTM.
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.
