These are detailed on the Club’s official website which can be found here on the 'how to Join' page. 
We have the following regular categories:  Full Senior Member; Off Peak Senior Member (OPM); Full and Off-peak Member 19 to 28; Youth Member (with two bands of subscriptions payable according to age); Student Member and Off-peak Student Member for those over 18 but still in full-time eductation; Playing Parent Member; and Social Member (non-playing.)

We continue to offer our Family Membership Discount. If two or more members of a family residing at the same address are full Members of either the Tennis or Squash Section we offer a Family Discount of 10%. This applies to Full Senior and Off-peak Senior category members only with effect from 1st April 2022. This discount only applies to subscriptions and not to Joining Fees. We have also introduced a restricted membership called Playing Parent for those who only wish to play with their junior children. This does not allow play at other times than youth restricted hours and not with other members or guests. Find out more on our website or contact the office for details.

Then you receive both discounts provided you qualify in each respect. We recognise that you are part of a family bringing other participating players to our Club, and also that you play and subscribe for both sports.

The Joining Fee is currently £50 and is payable for admission to Full Senior Member, and Off Peak Senior Member playing categories only. It does not apply to those members who are within our 19-28 or Youth playing categories nor to Playing Parent or Social Members.

This category is now closed to new applicants.

No, for 2022 - 23 the eligible hours during which OPMs can play tennis remain as before. Those hours apply throughout the year, and are: Weekdays 9am to 6pm, and Weekends 2pm to 6pm only.

It does not. OPM eligible hours remain unchanged and general play; arranged games; team practice sessions; and organised mix-ins may be played by OPMs only within those hours.

Yes, the Managing Committee decided this eligibility should be restored from 2016-17. OPM entry into our tournaments is subject to the same entry fee requirements as for Full and other members.

All of them, provided an OPM would be gender or age-qualified to enter. At the present time the Club runs a Summer Open Tournament; Veteran’s Winter Tournament; Box League Tournaments; and in summer months also a Mid-week American Tournament. OPMs continue to be eligible to enter any of these in their particular gender/category. As the Club’s tennis programme develops, other tournament events may perhaps be offered and the Managing Committee would expect these too to be open to OPMs on the same basis.

It does. The Off Peak Tournament was only commenced a couple of years ago and very few OPMs ever registered with the result that the tournament has never actually been held. Unless our OPMs particularly consider that the OPM Tournament should be continued, the Managing Committee believes that inviting OPMs to participate in general Club tennis tournaments is the better way to go.

Yes, they can. But the basis on which such a tie can be played may take either of two forms:
• if a particular tournament tie is played within OPM eligible hours, then the OPM may play without any further payment beyond the overall tournament entry fee
• if a tie is played for any reason outside OPM eligible hours then a Supplementary Subscription of £5 will be payable by the OPM for each such occasion on which they play

We very much hope that in the spirit of our Club all participating members will try, just as they do now, to arrange to play tournament rounds at mutually agreeable times. Consideration of other members’ circumstances and availability is a basic tenet of any members club. However, our Full members pay through their significantly higher subscription for unrestricted court eligibility and your Managing Committee believes it to be fair that a Full member can ultimately ask for a tie to be played outside OPM hours if that is unavoidable. For this reason, it will be a condition of entry for OPMs wishing to play in any in-Club tournament to accept that they may on occasion be required to pay a Supplementary Subscription in order to play a particular tie. If they do not do so they will as a consequence be required to concede the tie.

OPMs benefit from a substantial discount in their membership fees and in return accept that their court usage is restricted to times at which the Club is generally less busy. For tennis, Full members currently pay £295 annually, and OPMs only £190. Your Managing Committee believes that charging a modest additional subscription of £5 for each in-Club tournament or inter-club team match which an OPM chooses to play outside those hours is fair on balance to all our members, both Full and OPM.

No. Guest Fees apply only where a non-member enjoys a game at our Club, or perhaps where a single-sport member wishes to play the very occasional game of either squash or tennis as the case may be in their non-membership category. Guest play in either sport is strictly limited under Club Rules to only four occasions maximum per twelve months to protect the interests of our membership overall. This restriction on non-member play does of course help encourage those who decide that they enjoy our wonderful environment at SLTSC to join the Club! In contrast, OPMs may play any number of times within tournaments or if selected for match teams provided they pay the Supplementary Subscription for each individual occasion that they play a particular game outside OPM-eligible hours. This is certainly not limited to only three occasions.

All teams which represent SLTSC in events against other Clubs. Naturally, gender and age-group qualifications will still apply, but if a team represents the Club then OPMs are eligible if selected by Team Captains.

In exactly the same way as any other member: make yourself known to Team Captains as being available for selection; be prepared to play when those matches are scheduled, including paying the Supplementary Subscription on each occasion that match hours of play make that necessary; and most importantly play to the relevant standard – Sheen teams are competitive and have a successful history!

No, it is a Supplementary Subscription which allows OPMs to participate more widely than their eligible hours would otherwise allow and it must be paid for any relevant game, played both home or away. Fees for OPMs playing in away fixtures which take place during non-OPM hours must be paid to the Team Captain before the match commences who will then pay them to the office at the next opportunity.

The Managing Committee decided that this widened OPM participation should apply from the tennis subscription year 2016-7 onwards.

Under LTA regulations only Tennis members are eligible for a free Affiliated British Tennis Membership (BTM). Squash and Social Members should not be linked to the Club but may retain or join British Tennis independently as Non-Affiliate BTMs. Squash and social members who do this will be eligible to enter the LTA central ballot for this membership type.
