The following are extracts from the Club's current Rules and By-Laws (as they relate to Senior Players).

Membership classifications (ages as at 31 December 2010):   Seniors:  19 years and over   Tertiary Student:  Full-time adult students.

Members are required to wear apparel that complies with a standard of dress that is determined by the Committee.
The standard of tennis attire to be worn at the Club is based on the ruling issued by NZT (with exceptions to the restriction of commercial identification labels and use of tracksuits).  Specifically, all players shall dress for play in a professional manner.  Clean and customarily acceptable tennis attire shall be worn.
Items considered not acceptable include:  dress shirts, beach shorts, rugby jerseys, cargo shorts and jeans of any kind.
Footwear must be manufactured especially for tennis.  Neither training, cross-training, running, Astroturf, touch rugby type shoes nor basketball type boots are permitted.  Stiletto heels, spiked or sprigged shoes, and any type of hard-sole shoes are forbidden, and in any event, marking soles are not permitted.
Dress standard applicable to InterClub teams may differ and should be checked.

Subject to the requirements for organized play (including any club competitions, InterClub and coaching), as determined by the Committee from time to time, Senior and Full-time Tertiary Student Members shall have full playing rights.  Any By-Laws made by the Committee concerning playing times, conduct on the courts, organized periods of play, or any matters concerning court usage shall protect the rights of all members to have reasonable access to the courts and facilities.

Shoe Tags:  At the beginning of each season, Members are issued with a current shoe tag which serves as proof of Membership.  This tag must be worn when attending or playing for the Club.  Without this tag, access will be denied as part of the Club's strict "NO PAY — NO PLAY !" policy.

Security Access Tags (Optional):  $16.00 first year, then $5.00 per annum re-coding charge.  $11.00 refundable on return of tag.
!!!  Mandatory charge for replacement of lost tag is $27.00 ($11.00 refundable on return of replacement tag).

Subject to the allowance of scheduled court bookings for coaching, competitions, special group bookings, etc. which require full Committee consultation and approval with advance warnings given to the interrupted players involved, organized playing times are as follows:

Saturdays:  1:00pm - 4:30pm   Tuesdays:  9:30am - 12:00noon   7:00pm - 9:00pm (under lights, if required)   Thursdays:  9:30am - 12:00noon
Winter Mid-Week:  10:00am - 12:00noon (May 1st until opening day).    Members attending organised play will be rostered for board duties.

Grading:   The Club operates an internal grading system which is designed to assist those on board duty to set up acceptable games for all members.  A computerised system has recently been introduced for organised play times, and an enhanced grouping system (harmonised with the Club's Grading System) is utilised at such times.

Social Membership:   For players who wish to have close connections with the Club, but who do not wish to become full members, the Social Membership category provides members copies of all Club communications and invitations to Club socials and open tournaments.  The fee shall be $20.00 for the season.  Social Membership does not provide for any rights to court usage without additional payment of appropriate fees, neither does the player have any rights to play in InterClub competitions, Club Tournaments, or Club Championship matches, nor have voting rights in any form.

Charges for the hire of Club Facilities outside of playing times are determined as follows (all charges include GST):
Hire of Courts:  $5.00 per person per hour   Charge for tennis balls:  $10.00 per pair (non-refundable)   Charge for use of lights:  $5.00 per court per hour.
Non-members playing with Club members are not exempt court fees, unless special circumstances apply.
Applications for dispensation are to be presented to the President.

Burnside Park Tennis Academy:   Specialist individual and Group Coaching is available through the Club's Academy.  Please call for details.

Resignations:   Resignations must be made in writing, and be in the Secretary's hands prior to the Annual General Meeting, otherwise the Member is liable for the ensuing season's fees.
