Our reception procedures ensure a fair approach, and are as follows:
Card Issues – “Three Strike Rule”
Strike One – If you forget your card/band (for whatever reason) you will be informed of needing to produce it every visit/booking. Admission will be permitted by reception after checking your details; however, a note will be entered onto your membership.
Strike 2 – If you fail to produce your card/band on a second occasion, then you will be reminded of the need to produce your card every visit and that failure to do so will result in full payment being requested for future visits. You will be reminded of the previous incidence already noted (in the last month only). Admission is then permitted by reception after checking your details and making appropriate notes on your data entry.
Strike 3 – If you fail to produce your card/band on a third occasion, then you will be reminded of the need to produce your card, the previous incidences already noted (in last month only) and informed that you must pay for this visit as per the information below.
Where the 3rd strike warning has already been given, you will have to pay the non-member fee for your activity. If you have lost or had your card/band stolen, you can purchase a replacement from reception.
This procedure applies to pre-paid Activ8/Swimming memberships and LiveMore and LiveWell Leisure Card holders (as discounts apply).
