Annual Subscriptions (Frozen at 2023/24 Rates!)
From the 2023/24 season, we restructured / simplified the approach to memberships to make club membership more attractive and affordable and to grow the club. For example, a new membership category for families was introduced, a flat rate membership for adults, whether social members or league playing and all juniors/students paid the same rate.
This has continued for the 2024/25 season and subscription rates and match fees etc have been frozen at 2023/24 rates.
The payment year commmences 1 April and runs through to 31 March each year.
The club is also introducing Pickleball during early 2025. Memberships for pickleball will be made available in due course when there is sufficient demand to run social Pickleball sessions and the subscription rates are set out below. In the meantime you can sign up for a free Pickleball membership below so that we have your details to contact you when Pickleball activities start in 2025.
