Welcome to Potential and New Tennis Members
Whether your motivation for joining is fitness, competitive playing, or sociability you’ll be very welcome.
​
To find out more about the club, email members@bgbtc.co.uk . Please note the club is run by volunteers so there may a delay in replying.
​
Weather permitting, club members meet for club tennis on Sunday mornings every week all year round at 11am to 1pm and on Thursday evenings from 7pm.
Please note: these sessions are not for beginners or ‘rusty’ players who are asked – or can ask - to have an initial assessment with our coach James Mott before taking part. The standard for club sessions is not a high one, but people should be able to play a game of tennis rather than just hitting the ball. They need to be able to serve consistently and consistently sustain a basic rally by hitting at least two to three shots.
We also hold round-robin format sessions, usually in conjunction with events or Grand Slam finals on a Sunday.
Welcome to Potential and New Tennis Members
We always welcome new members and want to make the process as simple and transparent as possible.
​
Our membership secretary - who receives the emails above - is happy to have a chat with any potential new members before they apply.

FAQs
Attire:
Don’t worry about having all the gear, wear something comfortable that you can run around in, and it’s very handy to have pockets that you can fit a tennis ball or two into. Please don’t wear shoes with studs or anything that would damage our all-weather courts. Trainers or sports shoes are fine.
Court Booking:
We use the LTA’s Clubspark’s online booking system - Clubspark. Once you are a member and invited to use Bounds Green’s Clubspark, you can book courts on the website or the ClubSpark Booker app. Booking is free. Regular times when all three courts are in use are Sunday 11am to 1.30pm and Thursday from 7.00pm, when we have club tennis tennis sessions. Saturdays are busy with coaching until 12.30pm, usually followed by men’s and women’s team practice, although there is generally one court available to book even at these times. It’s best to check using the booking system. Courts are also booked in advance for home league matches and other coaching sessions, including kids’ camps during the school holidays.

Floodlights:
The floodlights cost £1 for 15 minutes. The meters for the lights can be found on your left just inside the clubhouse door. Labels on the coin box indicate which court is which.
Guests:
If you wish to play with an adult who is not a member of the club you are required to pay a guest fee of £5. This should be paid by bank transfer. A guest can play up to three times before they need to decide if they are going to join the club or play elsewhere – we hope they’ll join!

WhatsApp groups:
There are various WhatsApp groups to help new members integrate and get the most from the club, including one for women members. You can be added to these once you become a member.
