Dear Member. Please read this urgent message from Craig Beaton, Tennis Captain.
We need your help.
We emailed recently requesting that ALL our members opt in to the Wimbledon Ticket Ballot for 2015. However, some emails have gone to SPAM folders. The email is reprinted below:
It appears there is some confusion about what this actually means.
We have put this Q & A together to answer concerns. Please read the info below:
Q1: What is the point of opting in? I have no interest in tickets.
A1: The number of tickets Clarkston receive for Wimbledon is based on the number of our members who 'opt-in' to the ballot. If all members do this we will receive approximately 20 pairs of tickets, if fifty members opt-in we are likely to be given only 4 pairs. Currently we have only 79 members who have ‘opted in’ out of 212 that are eligible to do so.
Q2: If I opt in to the Wimbledon Ballot, does that not mean I could end up with tickets I don't want?
A2: No, opting in does not mean you could end up with tickets. However, only those ‘opting in’ will be given the opportunity to be entered in the ballot for Clarkston’s allocation of tickets.
Q3: Okay, that's a relief! I am happy to support the club! Can all members opt in?
A3: All members from age 9 and over can opt in. Parents or carers should opt in on behalf of Junior members.
Q4: How do I opt in then?
A4: Go to this link: https://www.lta.org.uk/Members-Area/Ballot-Administrator/British-Tennis-Members/
and log in with your username and password.
Q5: Oh dear, I cannot remember those details, what do I do now?
A5: Like all online log-ins there is a password retrieval service. You can click on that and follow their instructions. They will email your details straight back.
Q6: I can't remember any login details though, I never log in to the LTA website.
A6: Hey, not a problem, either find an email from British Tennis and this may have your username on it or call the LTA on this number: 0208 487 7000 and they will help you.
Q7: This has been helpful but I am still a wee bit confused about all this ballot stuff, is there someone I can talk to at the club?
A7: Absolutley! Call Craig Beaton, Justin Notley or Carol Milne on any of the numbers below and they will help you through this.
Craig 0781 282 9401
Justin 0771 130 0327
Carol 0797 166 0125
The deadline for opting in has been extended to February 14th. Please help out your club by opting in and giving as many of Clarkston's members as possible a chance of a Wimbledon ticket.
Many thanks in advance!
Craig Beaton
Tennis Captain
