The PLTC season runs from 1st April to 31st March each year and, pending availability, you can sign up at any point throughout the year for an Off-Peak, Student, Junior or Social membership.
How to apply: Full membership
Applications for Full membership only take place on an annual basis. Applications open in January.
Every February and March we run a series of Play-In days to meet all the potential new members.
This comprises a short informal group interview with the selection committee and then a session on court supervised by our coaches and match captains.
We therefore get to know you both on and off court and you get to find out a bit more about us.
Once the membership renewals have been completed on 31st March, we'll know how many spaces we're able to offer to potential new members and all applicants are then notified accordingly.
