These terms have been set by the Talavera Tennis Club committee and are subject to change at their discretion.

Booking a court

You need to book a court to ensure it’s available.

1. In making a court booking you agree to fully abide by the terms set out below, and the ClubSpark terms and conditions for using their online booking system.

2. You need to be a member (at the time of booking) to book a court.

3. You can book one court, for up to 1.5 hours maximum on any day. You can book on the day and up to 28 days in advance.

4. You’re welcome to bring a guest (non-member) to play. There is a guest player fee of $5 per non-member, which you can pay online when you make the booking or using the honesty box on the back of the main door into the clubroom.

5. If your guest wants to visit and play more than twice, we expect them to join the club.

6. Should your plans change, please cancel any booking you make as soon as possible to enable others to take the slot. Any payment for guest players can be refunded, less administration costs.

Using the facilities

1. All conduct and behaviour while using the facilities is to be of a high publicly acceptable standard, including but not limited to: use of acceptable language, acceptable noise levels and general standards of public behaviour. Members are responsible for their playing or non-playing guests.

2. Acceptable attire and non-marking tennis footwear is to be worn on court at all times.

3. Any coaching at the courts is to be determined and coordinated by the coaching provider approved by the committee (see Coaching section).

4. Alcoholic beverages and/or glass containers are not permitted to be brought onto the courts.

5. No food is to be consumed on the courts.

6. Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the property.

7. Dogs are not permitted on the courts.

8. Any rubbish is to be taken with you when you leave the courts.

9. When you leave the courts at the end of your booking, please ensure all doors and windows are closed and locked and any keys returned to their usual location.

Night lights

We have lights! When you need them, you can turn the lights on at the switchbox at the city end of the clubhouse.

As a courtesy to neighbours, the lights are programmed to stop working at 9.30pm.

Regular club sessions

There are currently three regular club sessions for senior members, meaning the courts may be unavailable for member bookings. See the Contact us page for times and who to contact.

Other club activities

There will be other days during the year when the courts will not be available for booking. For example, the annual working bee, junior club days and Annual General Meeting. We will notify members by email of specific activities or events.
