Annual Subscriptions (Reduced from 2024/25 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 2025/26 season and subscription rates have been reduced this year and match fees for those playing in league teams and entering club tournaments have been frozen at 2023/24 rates.
The following annual rates apply for Tennis new members and renewals through to 31 March 2026, with pro-rata reductions (only for new members) from 1 July 2025, 1 October 2025 and 1 January 2026 :
- Family membership (up to 2 adults + children under 19 as at 1 April 2025 and living at the same address) - £80 per annum
- Adult membership - £40 per annum
- Junior membership (under 19 as at 1 April 2025) / Student membership (in full time education as at 1 April 2025 and aged 18-25) / Unemployed membership - £10 per annum
Before committing to joining, why not come and try out the courts and your tennis skills on an organised social tennis night FOR FREE !!
