What if I can't remember my PIN?You no longer login with a PIN. Please select 'Forgotton your password' to set a password for the first time or to actually reset it, if you have forgotten it. For security reasons, reception is no longer able to assist you with a PIN or new password. Reception can though check the email address we have on file for you, to check you are using the correct email address to login. An incorrect or old email address will mean that the system is trying to email you to reset your password but it is unable to reach you.
-
I don't want to pay everytime I book?Online bookings must be paid for at the time of booking. If you are a member and do not want to pay before you play then you are welcome to book either in person or by calling our main reception on tel:01582 418873 (option 1). You then must pay before your booking commences. We feel that booking and paying online speeds up the process for you as a member and you will also then receive a confirmation email of your booking. There is now also the ability to store your card details in your personal 'wallet', this means a quicker booking and payment process as you don't need to enter all your cards details everytime. Please be assured that this is fully secure and no one but you has access to view, use, delete or modify your card details.

It says my booking is unconfirmed?Any bookings showing as 'unconfirmed' in the manage bookings section means that you haven't yet paid for it and you must do so to secure your booking.

I didn't receive a bookings confirmation email?Only bookings that are paid for (or zero amount) will receive a confirmation email. Remember, until you pay, your booking is unconfirmed and will automatically be deleted.

How to cancel online?You can't, unless the booking is for zero amount (e.g. an exercise class). Should you cancel your booking within the late cancellation period then you will be charged the full amount unless the slot is re-booked. Refunds for bookings already paid will be issued if cancelling outside of the cancellation period but this must be done by main reception and cannot be processed online. There are no refunds for no shows or late cancellations (see t&cs for late cancellation details).

It is advised though that you cancel your paid booking via main reception so a refund can be arranged.

It comes up with an error when I login?If an error comes up when you login in then there could be various reasons for this e.g. your membership has expired, you have too many outstanding arrears to pay... Please contact reception and we will try and clear this up as soon as possible for you.
-
Why is it saying no slots available?The main reason for this is simply that the slot has already been booked by someone else.

-
When exactly can I book 7 or 15 days in advance?Our new online booking system works to exact days and times so we have adjusted things to 7 or 15 days in advance (or whatever your booking privilege is for that particular activity), to not disadvantage members from not being able to book 14 days in advance as they are in a class or on court.

Payment is showing as owing but not sure what for?The majority of payments owing in your basket are self explanatory but if there is a payment showing with no obvious explanation then this may be a charge for an exercise class no show or late cancellation charge?
