Joining the club
Can I try the club before I join?
Yes. Prospective members are welcome to come along to one of our social sessions to try us out and use the courts and facilities. It is a good way to see the club, meet members and get a feel for the place before committing. Email me********@********************co.uk to arrange a visit.
How much does membership cost?
For the 2026/27 season, adult senior membership is £380 a year, and there is a first-year introductory rate of £290 for new adult members. Junior membership (11–18) is £115, cadet membership (10 and under) is £70, and non-playing social membership is £35. There are also reduced rates for 19–24 year olds, over 65s, weekday-only members and parents playing with their children. The full list is on our Club Membership page.
Is there a discount for my first year?
Yes. New adult members pay an introductory rate of £290 for their first year, instead of the full £380 senior rate.
