Terms and Conditions

Please ensure all members are aware of the terms and conditions relevant to the facility you use.

Please refer to the Sports Centre Child Protection Document (PDF) and the University's policy regarding under 18s and vulnerable adults on campus if this is relevant to your booking.

Booking procedures and cancellations

These vary depending on the type of booking.

  • If you are a staff club, please read the staff club regulations (PDF)
  • If you are an external club using Sports Centre facilities, please read the external club regulations (PDF)
  • If you need to cancel a booking for any reason, please be aware of the cancellation (PDF) procedures that apply to your type of booking.

Outdoor Facilities

Following feedback received in regard to the processes involved in booking outdoor group activities (excluding tennis) a new facility rate will be introduced from 1 August 2011.  This will make it much easier for groups to make use of these facilities in line with our core aim of increasing participation in sport.  Non-members will be able to take part in outdoor group sports at economical rates and if you are a member making the initial booking you get great discounts.  If you hold a Gold Passport and make a booking off-peak you get the facilities free of charge even if non-members are taking part in the activity.  There is no longer a requirement for all players to hand in membership cards at reception prior to playing.

This allows those not wishing to benefit from the other facilities available through the Passport membership to enjoy group sport at an economical rate and also allows for occasional and new members.
