PLTC offers a range of playing membership categories for adult and junior players, individuals and families, plus social membership. 

The Membership Year

Each membership year runs from the 1st April to the 31st March.

New Members

New members can join at any point in the year. In September and January we reduce our membership fees on a prorata basis to reflect the remainder of the membership year. 

Adult Tennis playing membership is thriving at PLTC. During busy time in order to prevent demand for courts becoming too high sometimes we need to close full playing membership to new members. When full membership is closed we encourage those wishing to join as a full playing member to first join as an Off-Peak Member and then contact us to join the waiting list. 

Renewals

All membership renewals must be made before the 1st April.  Renewals are sent out on 1st March each year and any members who fail to renew by the start of April will be lapsed and deemed to have resigned. Lapsed members can join again as a new member at anytime but may have to join the waiting list for full playing membership at busy times of the year.

PLTC values all its members and we aim to retain as many as possible year on year. If you have any difficulty in renewing your membership (for whatever reason) please contact us and we can see where we can help.

Membership Open to All

Club membership is open to all and PLTC is committed to ensuring it remains open, accepting and accessible to all sections of society.  To achieve this commitment PLTC considers and champions Equality, Diversity and Inclusion issues throughout all aspects of the organisation by welcoming diversity, accepting difference and challenging all forms of discrimination and unjust behaviour.

Club ‘Citizenship’

The club is run entirely on a voluntary basis and so depends on the energy and enthusiasm of its members.  All members have a responsibility to contribute to running the club in some way, at some point. This, of course, does not have to be a major commitment and will depend on several factors, such as job or family situation and could take several forms – including a formal role on the committee, occasional volunteering, taking charge of a specific event or activity or lending technical expertise.

If you are the sort of person who likes ‘getting involved’, we will be pleased to hear from you.  We welcome any help, as little or as much as you want to give.  Contact us if you would like to see where you can get involved.
