What is a Block Booking?
A block booking is a court booking that runs for a set period of consecutive weeks and is paid for upfront, thus allowing the user to avoid the need to access the booking sheet each week to secure their desired court. Users pay a higher rate for the privilege of block booking.
Changes for the 2024/25 winter season
Our closing time will be extended from 9pm to 10pm Weds – Fri from 23/10/24 onwards. This will allow an additional hour of peak time court time to be created on these days.
Members will also now be able to book the Indoor Tennis courts from 6am – 8am on weekdays.
Peak time block bookings will be permitted only from 8.30pm – 10.00pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The court schedule will be amended to create 3 available block booking slots on each evening.
Off-Peak time block bookings will be permitted for 90 minutes only, at any time between 6am – 4pm Mon – Fri.
Block bookings will be offered in two rounds – an 8 week round from Oct – Dec (w/c 21/10 – 16/12) and a 12 week round from Jan - Mar (w/c 6/01 – 24/03).
Members & Users will be able to apply for a block booking during a two week ‘Block Booking Application Period’ prior to the start of each round.
Where two or more members have requested the same slot, the successful recipient will be drawn by ballot.
Each member will be limited to one block booking slot only.
Members & Users who are unsuccessful in the first round ballot, will be given higher priority in the second round should they re-apply.
