MEMBERSHIP

 

Do members pay to book courts?

No. If you have a club membership, you will not pay an extra fee to book a court. Before booking, you will need to log into your ClubSpark account using the LTA login you created when you bought your membership. You can login at the top right hand corner of the booking page.

Please note: At certain times of year, there will be a small fee for members who wish to play in the evenings as this will ensure the floodlights are turned on for your session.

​

How far ahead can members book courts?

Members can book courts 7 days in advance.

​

I’m a member – can I bring a non-member with me to play?

Guests are welcome to play, however you will have to pay a guest fee online before playing. Click here for more information on bringing a guest.

​

Can I book a court even if I’m not a member of the club?

Certainly! Courts can be booked by non-members 24 hours in advance and are charged by the half-hour at a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 2 hours. For more information, please click here.

​

How do I cancel my membership?

We’re sorry to see you go – have you checked our membership page for alternative membership options? If you have joined on a non-contract basis, you are free to cancel at any time. Contract members can cancel at any time once they have completed the initial 12-month membership, as per the terms and conditions of membership.

If you wish to go ahead with cancelling, please cancel your direct debit with your bank and send us an email letting us know you wish to end your membership. We’ll take care of the rest from our end.

Please be aware during cold spells that the courts and surrounding areas are not gritted and care should be taken if accessing the courts.
