Club Constitution
Every organised club has a constitution which defines how the club should operate and what the function of the club is. This is designed to aid the smooth running of the club and to ensure that the club has a management structure which will allow the club to develop.

Club Rules
The club has a number of rules aimed at making sure everyone is safe and can enjoy their tennis, and our courts and facilities are maintained in good condition.
The following is a shortened version of the club rules. The full club rules are available from our Committee. If you are a parent of a junior member please make sure your child is aware of the rules.

- Only members may use the courts outside of club-organised coaching and events; however, any member may bring guests on up to three occasions for free. Should any member wish to bring a visitor to the club they must inform the club at membership@bishopbriggstc.com prior to the guest visiting.
- Members must wear shoe tags at all times within club grounds.
- Play must not begin before 12pm on Sundays.
- All players must brush their court after they complete a match – failure to do so will cause damage to the playing surface. Anyone who repeatedly fails to brush their court after play will be subject to disciplinary action.
- Do not play on the courts if they are flooded or have puddles on them. Only the groundsperson has authority to remove puddles from court.
- The clay court surface can be seriously damaged by incorrect footwear so proper tennis shoes must be worn. Shoes must not have a deep tread, raised studs or ridges. People without the correct footwear will be refused entry to the courts and people found on court with incorrect footwear will be sent off court and will be subject to disciplinary action.
- Football/rugby tops are not allowed to be worn on court.
- When going on court to play, and when leaving court, do not walk behind a court when play is ongoing. Equally, do not retrieve a ball from behind another court where play is ongoing. Wait until it is safe to do so.
- The club accepts no responsibility for belongings left in the clubhouse or on court.
- Please use the bins provided for litter. Chewing gum is not allowed on court.
