Organised Social Play

On Saturday afternoons, social play begins at 2.00 pm and continues until approximately 5.30 pm, after which time members are free to arrange their own sets. Sets of about 25 minutes are arranged and displayed on a board in front of the clubhouse. On arrival each member is requested to place their name on the board so that they are included in the next round of sets. Please remember to give the member rostered on board duty at least one set’s notice if you intend to leave early.

Courts are available on Sundays for social play, however priority is given to adult and junior pennant matches if these are being played.

Members may organise their own play on the grass courts at any other available time. On Mondays the grass courts are unavailable due to the grounds maintenance and members’ play is confined to the hard courts.

Saturday Social Play Roster

Members who play regularly on a Saturday will be rostered during the summer season to open the Clubhouse, organise the afternoon’s play as well as arrange the afternoon tea. The Roster is established for the season and is posted on the noticeboard and website and will also be distributed via email to members.

Termination of Membership

Members who are not financial for more than twelve months without having been granted Supernumerary status shall cease to be members of the A.P.T.C. and will therefore be liable to any further entrance fee. Members who seriously or repeatedly violate the Club code or fail to pay outstanding fees may have their membership suspended by the Board of Management as per the club constitution.

Court Use Outside Organised Play

All members are welcome to use the courts outside organised play as available but MUST vacate the hard courts if a member of the public arrives, having booked and paid for the court. Members may book and use the hardcourts for free during daylight hours, but must pay for lights at night ($5 per hour) and pay the $10 visitor fee, if applicable. Courts are booked via the APTC website booking function.

Members may invite VISITORS to play on the grass courts outside organised play, in which case a fee of $10.00 must be collected by the host member and paid to the Treasurer. Contact details are on the APTC website (www.allenparktennisclub.com.au).

Club Code

All members are expected to abide by the Club Constitution and to adhere to the general code of conduct and correct tennis etiquette.
