Membership Cards
Everyone will now be able to have their membership cards printed at the reception desk. You will need to swipe your cards on the turnstyles to enter the Sports Centre.

A couple of instructions that the Sports Centre has asked everyone to follow:
- please go to the reception desk individually and not in large groups before or after training,
- please have your cards printed when there aren't long queues at the reception desk,
- if you are a member of more than one club, only one card is necessary,
- members of clubfit, access, or fitness will be able to use their respective cards and will not require a separate club membership card.

The gates within the Sports Centre will be activated on Tuesday, the 11th of June (next Tuesday), so we encourage all members to get their cards as soon as possible.

ps. A photo will be taken of you so you may want to look your best.
