Important Court Booking Information
Court booking rules are in place to ensure our members have free access to our courts. So if you are a member, we need to recognise you as such. So please make sure you are logged in with your LTA account when booking courts.
COURT BOOKING RULES (MEMBERS)
- We only allow one booking per member, per day, and bookings may only be made a maximum of 7 days ahead. This is to ensure fair use of the courts by all members.
- Booking slots are available in 30 minute intervals up to a maximum of 90 minutes; the default 30 minute interval can be extended using the drop down 'finish time' box when booking. Multiple members using a single court should only have one booking between them not exceeding 90 minutes in length.
- If you no longer require a court please remember to CANCEL your booking so other members may use the court.
JUNIOR MEMBERS
Court booking will be unavailable to junior members at the following times.
Monday to Friday after 6pm
Saturday afternoons 2-4pm
Sunday mornings 8am-1pm
However, with the exception of senior mix-ins, if courts are not booked by others at these times (this can be checked on the court booking system/app) juniors can still come down and play.
We do want to encourage juniors to play and hope this won't inconvenience you too much. If a junior has reached a good standard of play and has sufficient maturity to play with adults, they can be awarded 'Promoted Junior' status when approved by the Coach and the Committee. Promoted juniors have senior rights to play in the mix-ins, in the teams and have unlimited access to court booking.

CLUB MIX-INS
For members who want to participate in organised social tennis, the club runs regular 'mix-in' sessions where you can play doubles with other club members. The mix-in sessions are always listed on the court booking calendar, but are generally on the following days.
Wednesday mornings, 9:30am - 12pm.
Thursday evenings, 7pm - 10pm.
Friday mornings, 9:30am - 12pm.
Saturday afternoons, 2pm - 4pm.
Sunday mornings, 11am - 1pm.
COURT BOOKING RULES (NON-MEMBERS)
- Courts 3 and 4 are available to book for non-members at restricted times of the week (12 - 2pm on weekdays) at a cost of £3 per half hour. Please be aware of daylight hours when booking as access to the floodlight coin operated meters cannot be guaranteed for non-members.
- You may book a maximum of 2 slots (60 mins) per booking, and only make 2 bookings in any 7 day period.
- Refunds will be issued automatically for bookings cancelled at least 24 hours in advance.
- Wearing of suitable non-marking tennis footwear is mandatory.
- No chewing gum or glassware on courts.
- Respect our neighbours with regard to noise and behaviour.
