(I)  Wednesday Night 'INTERMEDIATE-ADVANCED'  Player Competition
     REGISTRATION OF INTEREST NOW OPEN

WEDNESDAY NIGHT COMP REGISTRATION FORM

WHO ~  All Hinterland range club Intermediate & Advanced Players are invited to register interest in participating in Montville Tennis Club's New Wednesday Night Competition. Places are limited to 16 Registered Players per 10 Week round, with preference given to Montville Tennis Club members. 

Avoid disappointment. Register your interest promptly.
MTC's Feb/March '26 club member survey results indicate this is a popular and well-supported new event.


PRIZES ~    The winner of each competition round will receive a
                     2027 MONTVILLE TENNIS CLUB ADULT MEMBERSHIP paid in full, plus more. 

WHEN ~   
Round 1  (10 Weeks) Commences 6.00 pm- 22nd April 2026-  Arrival at 6.00pm-8.00pm.
Round 2  (10 Weeks) Commences 5.30 pm-   8th July 2026-   Arrival at 5.30pm - 7.30pm.
There is no obligation to participate in both rounds, nor each competition evening of each round.
                 

FLEXIBILITY ~ Like the sound of this but can't commit to every week? 

No worries. The competition has been designed with busy schedules in mind.
While players are most welcome and encouraged to participate each session, there is no requirement for you to attend every Wednesday competition evening, nor a need to find a replacement for yourself if you can't attend.

A competition-specific WhatsApp group will be used for player communication, including attendance updates and weather notices. If WhatsApp is not suitable for you, alternative arrangements can be made with the organiser, Debi Latino.    

COST ~   MTC Members           $   5.00  per competition night attended
                Non-MTC Members  $ 10.00  per competition night attended 
       (MTC 2026 Adult Membership = $125.00 pa) MTC Membership Application

                 
Once a player has been offered and accepted a place in a round, Montville Tennis Club will issue an invoice for the equivalent of the first 5 competition nights for that round. This invoice should be paid before the round begins to be eligible to compete. 

After a player has used their first 5 prepaid competition nights within that round, they may then choose to either: 
                 -pay upon arrival each week they play,  or
                 -pay for their next 5-session block in advance.

If a competition night is cancelled due to weather, that scheduled week will still count as one of the 10 competition weeks. However, players will not lose a prepaid session, as that prepaid session will carry forward to the next competition night they attend.
