St Georges Hill is the venue for the Worldpay NPL Finals 2024 taking place between 29th May - 2nd June 2024. The club's address is: St George’s Hill Lawn Tennis Club, St George’s Hill, Warreners Lane, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 0LL
We are delighted to have Accommodations UK as an event sponsor!
Accommodations UK have prepared a range of hotel options for the Worldpay NPL 2024 finals and all players and spectators are welcome to take advantage of the specially agreed rates.
You can find the full range of hotel options here.
For any enquiries, please call or email the Accommodations UK team:
As St George’s Hill is a busy members club we are anticipating that there will be extremely limited parking on site for Worldpay NPL competitors/spectators as the club is already at or near parking capacity on most days.
There is no scope at all for spilling over on to the private roads inside the St George’s Hill estate (within security barriers), so we are asking all teams to be sensible, so potential problems are avoided.
Teams should do everything they can to car-share, and they will be directed to a designated Worldpay NPL section of the club car park on arrival at the club. Once that is full, arriving competitors/spectators will need to park on the public roads outside the private estate, and walk in to the club (which is about a 4-5 minute walk from the estate entrance).
Old Avenue is the main road that runs up to the security gates, and is no distance, so please be respectful about this situation.
As in previous years you will now be requested to submit a Mini Squad of up to 8 names. If you name the full 8 names, then 6 of the names must have completed a match at the regional stages, the 7th player could have been on your original listing, and not played a match, and the 8th player could be a wildcard player i.e. someone that has not represented any team throughout the competition.
Therefore we are potentially allowing team captains the flexibility of two wildcards following the criteria set out here. We also plan on conducting the draw on teams/zoom, and have plans to do this on Friday 24th May (1pm) which is much later than we normally do, but this year we want to give each captain the opportunity to leave the naming of their squads until as late as possible, so we have more certainty on which players will actually be competing.
As with last year we will also allow team captains the flexibility of changing personnel up to 6pm on Wednesday 29th May with the onus on team captains to speak to Richard Joyner in person at the club or ring him (number provided on request).
If any changes made mean a team would drop from the seeding or ranking they were given, then the NPL reserve the right to retain a proportion of any prize money. We introduced this rule last year just in case unforeseen circumstances affect a team.
Once we receive the squads we will be seeding the top 8 teams (Men’s) and top 4 teams (Women's) based on ATP or WTA ranking, then ITF Pro Ranking of 1500 or better, followed by the WTN combined ratings of your top 4 named players in your mini squad submissions, where we will take the best rating from your singles or doubles into consideration.
The deadline for your squad submissions will be Thursday 23rd May at 12 noon with the draw scheduled for Friday 24th May at 1pm. May I also request that last year’s defending champions Roehampton Men’s, and the University of Bath Ladies both have the trophies engraved for 2023 please.
The Men's and Women's competitions will both follow the same rules throughout, which are slightly different to the regional stages. The main differences are set out below, otherwise it is the same, and after discussions with the LTA permission has been granted to conclude under these rules, so original LTA ratings will be taken into account:
As in previous events the NPL will provide the playing t shirts for all participants, which can be collected on arrival at the club with adequate numbers provided for each team. These shirts will have the team name on the back, and the name/logo of Worldpay on the front.
The teams once again will be playing in colour coordinated tops, and all t shirts will be provided for the teams on arrival at the event.
All male players must wear white shorts and white socks, and suggest you have grass court shoes as well, as well as other shoes should the grass be out of operation.
As above all female players have the added choice of playing in skirts or shorts, but they too must be white with white socks.
Prior to the start of event, each team will be required to present themselves for a mandatory team photo and captain's interview. We appreciate your cooperation in this regard.
It is hoped to play on the grass again this year, so fingers crossed the weather is kind to us once again, and the potential of these pristine grass courts being at their best when we play! We have back up as well with the 4 recently laid Poroflex courts, and 2 Indoor courts available should rain intervene, and scupper our plans.
We are pleased to announce that Worldpay are kindly hosting a welcome evening (meal) for all the teams on the eve of the event on Wednesday 29th May, and there will be 5 places allocated to each team. There is still a lot to plan around the itinerary for the evening, however I can confirm that we will have the great pleasure welcoming Andrew Castle on the evening (more detail to follow). Obviously I know some teams not involved in the competition until the Friday (Ladies seeded teams) may not travel until the Thursday, which is fine as long as you give me advanced notification about not being able to attend, so we can redistribute allocated spaces.
We are delighted to have Nic Tweedy Nutrition supporting our Worldpay NPL 2024 finals event. Nic has kindly offered every player a voucher for a free 15 minute consultation on their nutrition. If they choose to follow this up, they receive a 25% discount off the 1-1 NURTURE package.
Furthermore, teams can receive a voucher for a discount off the Group NURTURE package:

We have plans to have four of the courts televised via the Tennis Channel. We aim to deliver equal live-streaming coverage for both Men's and Women's events.
There will be a lot more access, and choice this year throughout the event, and I will be updating as and when I have all the information available, which is a great thing as the food at the club is excellent! The kiosk facility will also still be available for Paninis/Sandwiches/Hot and Cold Drinks/Soup/Snacks etc but 2024 will see a lot more choice for more extensive meals indoors.
