Reminder to Opt in for LTA Wimbledon ballot

Written on .

Dear members,

Did you know that now is the time to start planning for your visit to Wimbledon 2026? It might seem a bit early, but the LTA Public Ballot for next year is now open.

Some of you may have read the email from the LTA last week, and already have put your names into the hat.

For those who haven’t, or didn’t get the email, the process is as follows:

1. Log into your LTA Advantage Home account. (If you’re not signed up to Advantage yet, it’s easy and free. Visit this page to start with https://www.lta.org.uk/advantage/ and select Advantage Play.) 

2. Click on MyBenefits on the left hand side, and choose the Wimbledon benefit.

3. Once there, click the Opt In button

The deadline to Opt in is Saturday 31 August, and the balloting process starts in November. 

It’s also worth noting that the ballot is open to juniors over 13 years old who have a Junior Advantage Play+ account.

Good luck in the meantime!

The Tennis Committee.

Tennis Leaders (03/07)

Written on .

On Saturday 3rd July, Marina will be running a LTA Tennis Leaders Course at Brondesbury for our teenage players (13 y/o +). 
It will run from 11.00am - 3.00pm and the cost is £40.

The content is suitable for those just starting out on the tennis career pathway. 

The Leaders then have to complete 6 voluntary hours at the club working with their coach, after which they receive a T-shirt and a Certificate and can then work as a 'volunteer', for which they get 'paid' their expenses. This course will allow them to help out with the Junior Programme.

To book please email Marinawith the following:
- Full name
- DOB
- Address
- British Tennis Membership number (can sign up here)
- Parent's mobile
- Leader's mobile
- T-shirt size (Adult Unisex S – XL)
