It is most important for both the Association as well as a prospective member to identify the players tennis requirement.

Does the player wish to play:

  Social tennis
  Competition tennis
  Receive coaching lessons

All of the above and when is the player available?

Thus, we recommend that any prospective member discuss with the Membership Secretary their needs prior to filling out any forms. It is also important that prospective members look at the Court Allocation Schedule such that they can assess whether their planned playing times and the availability of courts allows this to occur.

To actually join, a prospective member will need to fill out a Membership Application Form and pay the appropriate fees as detailed. Approval by the Committee of Management is also required.

NOTE: All students in the coaching program MUST be financial members of the club.

If a member no longer wishes to remain a member then the Association would appreciate the courtesy of being informed so that the needless sending of mail and SMS messages occurs. Members will need to ensure that all outstanding fees are paid and if any keys are in their possession, returned.
