NEW COURT BOOKING SYSTEM
05-04-17
Our Chairman, Paul Evans and Treasurer, Roy Fisher had a meeting with
the Sports Centre management on Monday last with regards to the centre's
proposed squash booking process which is explained fully in the attached
letter.
You will note that an off peak charge has been brought in (with
immediate effect) to try and increase court usage and hopefully get more
people playing squash and racketball.
Collection and payment of off peak tokens will be at the reception
desk.
At present, the squash club has a long standing arrangement where we
pre-book all our courts for the year ahead. This arrangement will
continue, so there will NO financial burden to the club. The committee
have agreed, in return, to carry out a review of our club bookings and
advise changes. They will, over the next week, be looking at the club
night court usage and will notify the centre of any proposed changes. At
present we are not making good usage of the courts that are pre-booked.
All other existing arrangements (i.e. Juniors and Team matches on non club nights) will be protected.
In future, after the 1st June 2017, all club night tokens will be purchased from the reception in the bar area as the token machine will be removed.
It also transpired at the meeting, that an extensive refurbishment programme for the maintenance of the courts will be carried out in the summer, costing thousands of pounds, including re-plastering and floor work.
