British Tennis Membership - How to get a BTM number

The LTA allocate Wimbledon tickets to clubs according to how many players they have registered with our Club. So to do this, we need as many members as possible to join the LTA, get a free Tennis Membership (BTM) number, and register themselves with New Mills Tennis Club on their system.

Here are the instructions. If you do not have LTA membership (or a BTM no.), then:

• • Go to www.lta.org.uk and click Join in the top right corner

• • Click on Join Now, and enter your details, including username and password.

  • You should get sent a "verify email address" email - click on the link.

  • Click on "Back to Login", and login with your username and password. This is where you select your membership option. Click "Let's get started" when prompted.

  • What best describes you? Player of course - anything else and you might get the wrong membership!

  • Do you have an existing membership at a venue? Yes! Write New Mills Tennis Club when prompted for the venue name.

  • How do you pay? I subscribe to a venue. You can also add other venues.

  • Enter your address. Then are you interested in Wimbledon tickets? I don't know if it affects our allocation, but put Yes just in case.

  • It will offer you Advantage Play + membership. That is what you need. It is free and you will be registered with the LTA at NMTC. Click Continue with Play +, andLet's Go.

If you are already an LTA member, you will still need to register yourself with New Mills Tennis Club:

• • Login to www.lta.org.uk and click Login. Hopefully you have your username and password!

  • Scroll to the bottom of the page to where it says View Account

• • Go down to where it says My venues, and Update venue(s). Add New Mills Tennis Club as a venue.

You're welcome to ask (Maurice McCabe <mvmccabe@hotmail.com>) if you have any questions, though I'm not 100% sure I'll know the answer!
