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 hard courts 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.
