CLUB DAYS
Club days at the Waikato Tennis Centre are Thursday evenings (when daylight saving is on) from 5.30pm and Sunday afternoons from 1.30pm. Players put their names on the blackboard and are allocated doubles matches, alternating with different partners about every 20-30 minutes. Members can play singles subject to court availability. Every month we have various forms of fun tournaments, points days and barbeques. Drinks will be available in the club rooms after club days.
Outside of normal club days and interclub, members can come down and use allocated courts to play with other members. It is recommended to fill in the booking sheet with your name and “Lugton Park”.
Friends who are non members must pay the court hire.

For the social player wanting to improve rapidly, joining the Interclub competition is the means. One meets all styles and ages, and is given the chance to play “away” games as well as home games. Anyone wishing to play Interclub must be a financial member and register their name with the Club Captain, Grant Perry on Phone 854-7791 or 021 1058811.
LEAGUE TENNIS
League Tennis is organised for the winter. It is designed for those who enjoy a game of singles or doubles, with the games being arranged between the players. Register your name and phone number on the Club Notice Board at the end of summer. You can contact the other Club Members on the list for matches.
WINTER TENNIS
During the off-season the Club runs a Club Day on the first Sunday of the month ( Second Sunday in June due to Queens Birthday Weekend ). If the first Sunday is rained off then it is held on the second Sunday. If that too is rained off then that month is cancelled. This club day is good for keeping skills and contacts up over the winter period.
CASUAL PLAYERS
Casual players may join in with club days at a cost of $10 which needs to be paid to the committee member on board duty. Players may play at club days for 3 times and thereafter must become a full financial member. Members bringing friends for casual court use must also pay this fee.
SQUASH CLUB Reciprocal Discount Offer
The tennis club has an arrangement with the squash club whereby we can offer a $50 discount off our full senior sub of $200, hence the cst being $150. The Squash Club will offer the same discount off their full sub. Please show proof of membership when paying your sub.
