It is the responsibility of the Member/card holder making the booking to ensure that all participants attending a session (e.g: badminton or squash) have their own valid membership allowing free access within these terms and conditions. If all players are not members, an appropriate non-member fee should be paid in Centre prior to use.
Go Active operates a policy of allowing card holders up to 7 Online activity bookings per day and a maximum of 10 booking items may be held in the checkout basket at any one time. Users can access the Online service at any time and may book selected activities up to 7 days in advance and Fitness Classes up to 6 days in advance, in line with the standard Go Active booking policy.
