In order to make a booking you need to be registered with Clubspark.   For club members the user ID that you used to join/renew is the one to use, i.e either Clubspark id or your LTA, Facebook, Google id.

If you are making pay-and-play bookings, you will need to create a Clubspark login to allow you to book and pay for a tennis court.

The booking module is available directly through the website, or you can use the Clubspark Booker App on your mobile device.

Court booking guidance and rules

  1. Courts may be booked up to 2 weeks in advance for Club Members; Non-members 1 week.
  2. Court booking is restricted to maximum 1.5 hours.
  3. Court booking is restricted to 2 sessions in any one day.
  4. Court Booking sessions are available in half hourly slots from 8am up to 10pm
  5. Please delete your booking if you have to cancel your game.
  6. Please lower the nets and lock up the clubhouse/court gate after use.

 

Digital Gate

  • Our new digital gate means that when a court is booked, Clubspark will generate a code to grant you access to the courts. The code generated will be unique to each member
  • The unique code for each member will always stay the same but will only grant you access at times that you have a court booked
  • The code will let you enter the courts 5 minutes ahead of your time and will work throughout the length of your booking

 

Floodlighting

  • Our floodlights are now controlled online via Clubspark
  • If you book a court at a time when floodlights would be required, you will need to pay £1 per 30 minutes on court to cover the floodlight cost (floodlight tokens used to cost £1.50 per 30 minutes)
  • Floodlights will then come on automatically 5 minutes before your booking time and will switch off 5 minutes afterwards
  • Do not use the manual floodlight switch if you have asked for floodlights online as the online system will override this
  • If you are using the manual switch (which should only be done for open sessions and matches), please make sure the lights are switched off
  • A reminder that court 4 does not have any floodlights

 

Ball Machine

  • You can now book our ball machine out via the court booking system - please book both a court and the ball machine in order to secure both for the period that you intend to use the machine
  • Using the ball machine costs £5 per hour and is payable when you make the booking
  • The ball machine is stored in the cupboard in the back left corner of the clubhouse along with a bucket of old balls to be used with the ball machine
  • Please unplug the machine before removing from the cupboard
  • Please be careful when removing and replacing the machine to avoid breakage to the machine itself or the charging cable
  • The ball machine takes x hours to recharge so if you can see someone else has booked the machine that day, please leave x time between your booking and theirs.


Please note the rule for members playing with non-members (if NOT booked onto our pay-and-play court). "No one may be admitted as a guest on more than four occasions in any calendar year." (reference Constitution 16.3).

This rule does not stand for pay-and-play bookings. If you book via the pay-and-play system, you can book as many times as you like.

Please make a payment of £2 per adult / £1 per junior into the black box in the clubhouse, labelled 'Guest Fees/Ball Machine' if you are playing as a 'guest' of a member and are not using a pay-and-play booking. Thank you.
