Becoming a member
You can join Talavera for the 2025/26 season - just scroll down to find an option that suits you.
A discounted rate applies to new members, and renewed subscriptions paid before 15 October.
Talavera currently has around 90 members of all ages and stages.
Membership runs for a year, from 1 October to 30 September the following year.
We do not offer casual or short-term membership but this is offered at some other Wellington clubs, including the Renouf Tennis Centre and Thorndon Club. We do offer a discounted rate for people joining from May onwards, over the winter months.
Our membership fee includes the affiliation fee. This is the amount we have to pay to the national tennis body for each member.
If you are a member of another club and would like to join Talavera as well, let us know so we can ensure you only pay your affilation fee through one club.
Talavera Tennis Club’s committee has issued Membership Terms and Conditions for all members to follow.
Making the most of your membership
Our two courts are available from 7am-9.30pm (with lights) every day.
