However Limited Parents and Junior members may not play on, or book, courts during 6.30–8pm in the evenings.

• Social (Non Playing)

Social memberships are available for adults with a partner or family member who is a playing club member, or who have a previous playing association with the club. Social members have no right to play nor to vote at a General Meeting of the Club. They may use the Clubhouse, when open, and attend morning tea and other meetings associated with Club Sessions.

Court Bookings

Courts are booked via Pay2Play online system using a booking code issued to adults only. Club Sessions take priority on our courts and are usually pre-booked in our court booking system. Club Sessions mean Club organised social tennis sessions, coaching programmes (junior and senior), interclub matches and team practices, competitions and other events organised by the Club. If a booking for a Club Session is inadvertently missed or needs to be added, private members’ bookings will have to be re-scheduled or cancelled (with apologies).
