not sure how many on here belong to the currnt lta membership scheme, but i have just recieved details of the new scheme and it is broken down into membership £25 per annum (or 15 if you dont want to be in the wimby ballot) and £35 for Ace and the BT mag. Also to get Ace subscrition i think you have to be a member, so if that all you are interested in maybe better to get whsmith to order it for you? (no  bt mag tho)

so thats £60 in total. i cant remember how much i am currently paying, but i am sure its not that much. but what benfits do you get that currently you dont?

listed benefits:

Wimby Ballot - old
E-newswtter - new
membership/Discount card - old
tips from top coaches & players - well this wasnt includded b4 but its not worth anything is it, infos all out there, plus its in ace.
lta player rating - old
online members area - new (maybe will help find opponents which could make it good value, although london tennis forum can already do this for free)
emails on local competitons - new
entry to prize draws for GS trips - not sure, think new
discount on pre-wimby events - again not sure
ongoing benefits??


also i dont think the mimi BT mag isn't that great, somtiems they have reviews of the challengers/futures etc with the odd good interviw. but often the interview is posted on the lta website anyway, and most of the rest of the mag is boring imo.
