WINDSCALE SQUASH CLUB
BOOKING RULES 2010

The booking of all Courts will be through the Squash Club online booking system.

These rules are designed to give fair access to all our courts to all our members. They should not be seen as a deterrent.

Squash Booking Rules

Members can book courts up to 7 days in advance but not before 7am each morning.
However, members can only book a court 6 days in advance if they already have a court booking 7 days from today.
Members are encouraged to show their opponent's name on the booking sheet.
Juniors may be allowed to book courts but must be accompanied by a full member, or guardian when on the premises at all times.

Member Accounts and Booking Fee(s)

Each member has an account of booking fees within the system.
Members are charged a £2 booking fee when booking a court.
Each member has an £8 overdraft which allows the member to make up to 4 court bookings within the 7 day advance booking period.
The £2 booking fee is automatically refunded when (i) the member signs in to play or (ii) when the court is cancelled more than 12 hours before the start time.
A member having failed to sign-in more than 4 times will need to purchase credit in order to book more courts. Credit can be purchase from the Gym Reception Desk.

Sign-in

Members must sign-in with their PIN number on the touch screen in the foyer to confirm usage of the court. To get your PIN number, you must login to this website, and you will find your PIN number by clicking the "My Settings" link on the left side of the web page.
All courts not signed for at the club will be treated as a "no-show" and the member booking the court will be charged £2 for not turning up (see Note 1).

Cancellations

When necessary, members are encouraged to cancel courts as soon as possible so that the cancelled court may be re-booked and used by other members.
The £2 booking fee is only refunded when the court is cancelled more than 12 hours prior to the start time.
If the court is cancelled within 12 hours of the start time, the £2 booking fee is only refunded if the court is re-booked by another member.
Persistent failure to sign-in or not play on a court will result in punitive action being taken by the committee against the member involved.

Guests

Members are allowed to play with guests.
Guests must become members after playing 4 times.

Other Rules

Players must vacate the courts at the scheduled times if requested to do so by those following.
The players waiting to play a match should knock on the court door at the scheduled time and wait for the other players to vacate the court.
Booking double sessions (i.e. consecutive periods on one court or moving to another court at the end of your session) should not take place during "Prime Time".
Court 4 will be primarily used as a coaching court between 3.30 pm and 6.30 pm Monday to Thursday.
