Below is some information that will enable you to get the most out of playing at the club whether you are a member or non-member.
There are details about how to book a court, 3 weekly members’ club sessions, tennis coaching, our Club Policies, the Jackpot 100 Club and a list of Committee Members.
We run social events throughout the year – both fun tennis tournaments and other events – and members will be notified of these when they are planned.
Online Court Booking System
Club Members and the general public are welcome to play outside of club sessions 7 days a week BUT you MUST book via our online booking system. The courts get very busy and the only way to guarantee you will be able to use a court is by making an online booking.
COST: FREE for club members and £8.00 per hour per court for non-members.
Please use our online booking system to check availability, make a booking and payment if required.
Upon booking you will receive an email confirmation which will include a code to the combination gate locks for access to the courts.

Club Sessions
We run three Club Sessions per week for members to enjoy doubles matches with a range of players.
(all year round)
Sundays: 10-12.30
Wednesdays: 18.00-21.00
Thursdays: 15.00-17.00
Members Playing with Non-Members
If you are planning to play with a non-member there is a discounted fee payable of £4.00 per hour (full public hourly booking rate is £8.00 per court per hour). This payment and booking can be done through the booking system. Please see the information below.
During the booking process you must now ‘Add Participant’ and select whether they are a ‘Member’ or ‘Guest’; if ‘Guest’ the £4 per hour fee is automatically triggered.
The LTA and ClubSpark, in discussions with the government, have added the ability to list all players in a booking session – a version of Track & Trace – so that the club can be aware of exactly who has played on the courts. This is obviously very important for the ongoing Covid-19 situation but is also very useful for the overall management of the club.
As part of this, ClubSpark has now added a much simpler way to collect guest fees for non-members. As a reminder we offer a reduced hourly fee of £4 (£8 full hour rate) for all non-members playing with a member.
Court hire and membership fees are needed to ensure that the running costs of the club are met which includes regular re-surfacing of the courts, renewal and maintenance of the lights, clubhouse maintenance and improvement, provision of balls for club sessions and matches.
