ABTC will keep an account of bookings, payments and fees due. The amount owing on this account must be paid (or paid to you if in credit) on resignation of membership. Please monitor your account. See Account Discrepency if you think there is a problem.
To make bookings, members will initially need to have sufficient funds in their account to cover bookings and any fees due. Funds can be deposited by PayPal online or by cash at an agent. EFT (electronic file transactions) can be made but will not be credited instantly.
A feature to allow a negative balance can be enabled on request by e-mail to the treasurer. This feature will also allow EFT to be credited instantly.
A membership joining fee of $20 and an annual fee of $5 each July will be charged to the account of Annual Members until resignation.
To get an idea of when permanent bookings may be available check the booking calendar a few weeks ahead. If a permanent booking is required, an application can be made by e-mail to the treasurer. Once a booking is made permanent, bookings will continue to be made on behalf of the member until the permanent booking is formally ended. The member is liable for those bookings.
Cancellations can be made online or via an agent. A credit will be given to accounts where cancellations are made;
Where a cancellation is made less than 18 hours before the booking (late cancellation) a credit will automatically occur only if the court is subsequently charged to another user.
In the case of wet weather the member must request a credit or notify the agent within two weeks following the booking date. We will reply by e-mail when the credit is processed.
Please note: notification of wet weather can only be given after the timeslot. A late cancellation, will make the court available to others but you must still request a credit or give notification to the agent.
Bookings made online, within an hour of a time slot are free if they are for the use of school children who are registered Junior Members or whose parents are registered Annual Members (an account balance of $6 is needed for Junior members to allow the booking). A fee of $6 will initially be charged but adjusted on approval as "Stand-By". A request to approve each booking as "Stand-By" should be made by e-mail to the treasurer within two days following the booking.
On leaving school, Junior Membership will be changed to Annual Membership, if required.
We will not ask you to supply any bank or credit card details to us, when you make payments online you deal directly with your bank for EFT or directly with PayPal.
Personal details will be used only for the purpose of running the Club. The member should see that details are kept current. ABTC can be joined and details updated, online or through an agent.
Courts must not be re-let or used to conduct a business (other than coaching by a coach appointed by Avoca Beach Tennis Club). It is acceptable to make a booking on your account for somebody else but this must be personal and not a business arrangement.
If, at the discretion of ABTC, we request that the balance of an account is paid, it should be paid in full within fourteen (14) days of the request.
ABTC may terminate inactive accounts after notification to the member or, without notice if the member cannot be contacted or has not responded to a payment request.
