Becoming a member
Talavera currently has around 100 members of all ages and stages - we welcome new members.
Membership runs for a year, from 1 October to 30 September the following year. A discounted rate applies to new members, and renewed subscriptions paid before 15 October.
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. It is $63.20 for each adult member, $57.84 for juniors 12-18 and $29.79 for juniors under 12.
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 Terms and Conditions of Membership that must be observed and obeyed by members of the Club.
Making the most of your membership
Our two courts are available from 7am-9.30pm (with lights) every day.
Once registered, you can book courts online and join in other activities, including:
- regular senior club sessions: Tuesday evenings and Saturdays (details on the Contact us page)
- occasional junior/family sessions - notified by email
- coaching through Darren and his team from Cyperus Tennis + Fitness
- Interclub competition (additional fee).
