The top reason given in a poll for why members pick Wimbledon is that ours is a friendly club offering loads of match games. Since beating Streatham in 1892, Wimbledon's focus has increasingly been on inter-club competition and we now play well over 100 matches every year. With 15 teams (8 of them competing in Surrey) players of all strengths get the chance to represent the club
Whilst winning is important to our members (we've won both the Alexander Cup and the Challenge Cup for the individual county championship a record number of times), so too is good relations with other clubs (including sharing management improvement ideas) and supporting the Association. There is also a high level of member participation in running the club to share the administrative burden
Subscriptions vary depending on how many leagues you play in (London and Thames Valley are the other two) but, perhaps uniquely, women and youngsters have free membership
