6. Tennis Playing Time
6.1 We aim to support our members enjoying our facilities and we ask members to be reasonable and considerate to other members with the amount of tennis courts booked.
6.2 Adult Tennis members can book up to a maximum of 20 hours per calendar month. If 4 members are on court this is an hour of time for each member. Any additional court hire hours will be chargeable. All members and non-members have up to 4 hours to cancel court bookings before losing the allowance.
6.3 Adult Tennis members can book up to 8 classes per calendar month. Any additional classes attended will be chargeable.
6.4 Junior Tennis members can book up to a maximum of 10 hours per calendar month. If 4 members are on court this is an hour of time for each member. Any additional court hire hours will be chargeable.
6.5 Your monthly usage against your court/class allowance will be monitored by the centre team throughout the month. If you are close to reaching your usage limit, we will contact you.
If you exceed your court/class allowance, an “infringement charge” will apply. This charge is calculated by multiplying the number of court hires/classes beyond the allowance by the current non-member cost for court hire or class fees, and then applying a 25% discount.
If you exceed your allowance, we will notify you of the infringement charge and provide details. Payment must be made within 7 calendar days to avoid membership suspension. Failure to pay within the 7-day period will result in your membership being suspended, and you will be subject to non-member charges and terms & conditions. Once your infringement charge is paid in full, your membership will be reinstated.
If you wish to contest the charge, please contact the leisure manager
