MEMBERSHIP PLATFORM
INTRODUCING OUR NEW MEMBERSHIP MANAGEMENT PLATFORM, COURT RESERVE
From July 1st 2025, DINK Brighton is transitioning from a full pay-to-play model to a membership-based system.
To support this change and improve organisation, all bookings will now be managed through the Court Reserve platform. From this date, all sessions, regardless of type, must be booked via Court Reserve.
To access sessions, players will need to hold either:
A FREE Guest Membership (higher session prices, no priority booking, no perks), or
A Paid Membership (discounted pay to play session prices, priority booking, perks and more)
We’re excited about this next chapter and appreciate your support as we grow!

MEMBERSHIP FAQs
Why are you moving to a membership model?
Earlier this year we moved from DINK Brighton being a business owned by one person to being a fully constituted not for profit unincorporated association managed by a committee of volunteers from the player base. It was decided that to drive loyalty, and give back to loyal members it was important to allow people the opportunity to become member, which would then allow us to give back to those players the benefits and perks of membership. The committee also believe this is the right thing to do to ensure a healthy club going forward where the members have a voice and the opportunity to influence the club’s future direction.
What memberships do you have?
Initially we are keeping it simple.
Adult Standard Annual Membership. This will attract an annual recurring fee, currently set for the coming season as £60, but will have benefits and perks that come with it, not available to non members.
Guest Adult Membership – FREE. Due to Court Reserve’s model, every user has to be linked to the club in order to access the booking platform, therefore we have create a guest membership for those people who don’t want to commit to being an official member of the club, but can still access the sessions and events we put on. This membership does not offer any benefits or perks of the paid membership.
Why do I have to pay for full membership?
The current model is low cost pay to play, and only covers facility hire, and not always that if we don’t get enough sign ups. So going forward the committee has set the membership fee to also allow us to cover insurance, balls, tape, website fees, membership platform fees and more. Additionally as we enter more and more structured leagues and events we could potentially need to prove a player is a registered paid up member.
We would love you to be a full member but we understand that this might not be for everyone, so you can still access all the great sessions and events we put on, just sign up for FREE Guest Membership.
Are there any launch offers?
