All team members are required to be financial when playing. (Junior and Senior)

 

If you are not a current financial member please be advised that your insurance under Tennis Victoria will not be active and you will not be covered while you are playing anywhere.

With the increase in postage costs we can no longer afford to send communication via snail mail please read the emails we send.

A list of current financial members will be available near the phone and updated as needed.

Members may obtain a key to the courts by following the process below. 

1. Request a key from the Membership Secretary once your membership is active. Our Rules for the Use of BBTC courts will then be forwarded to you to inform you about your responsibilities when at the club in unsupervised sessions.

2. Pay $20 into the Burnt Bridge Account clearly stating the name and key payment. Burnt Bridge Tennis Club Inc. BSB 063223 Ac. 10046997.

3. Upon payment of the $20, the Membership Secretary will notify the Coach, Daniel Kittelty, to give out a key at an appropriate arranged time. Daniel will ask you to sign for the key stating you have read the policy prior to collecting the key.

Members may invite friends or family to play on vacant courts, usually on Saturday afternoons, Sundays, and weekdays before 4pm plus some weeknights in daylight hours during summer after 7pm. The cost of a non-member (accompanied by a member) to play is $5 per session. Juniors under 12 are free. We encourage all visitors to become members of the club. Members using the courts for casual play should be reminded to wear the correct footwear and make sure the courts are bagged and watered after play.

Membership Payment
There are currently 3 methods of paying your membership. We encourage all members to become members of ClubSpark online even if you do not pay your membership by credit card. This will enable you to update your own changes of email, phone or address. If you are renewing membership and your details have not changed please let the membership secretary know.

1. By credit card
Please refer to the links above for the different types of membership. These will take you to Clubspark where you can follow the prompts. The member joining should be the player. In the case of a junior the junior should join not the parent, with the parent as the contact.
