Culture, diversity and club rules

We expect everyone who joins Bushy Park Tennis Club to be tolerant, polite, considerate and honest.

We want everyone to feel welcome here and benefit from enjoying a great sport in a beautiful setting. Our values should always be shown to fellow members, officials, guests and social visitors.

We expect members to:

  • act responsibly and try to keep everyone at the club safe at all times
  • consider the well-being and care of junior players and visitors
  • respect the rules of tennis and sort out disputes calmly (we’re not playing in a grand slam event, after all)

We do not tolerate:

  • discrimination due to race, gender, age, religion, disability or sexuality
  • unpleasant, rude, threatening or violent behaviour 

For more detailed information, please read the club's official diversity policy and code of conduct.
