JULIE BROOKS: Then once you have got your sports card,you will need to bring it with you whenever you come to book or use any Sports Centre facilities.Booking over the phone is not allowed,so you have to come here in person,with your card,when you want to book.Our opening hours seem to get longer every year.We are now open from 9am to 10pm on weekdays and from 10am to 6pm on Saturdays.

For those of you who are up and about early in the morning,we are introducing a 50 per cent 'morning discount' this year.This is because the facilities tended to be under-used in the mornings last year.It means that all the sessions will be half-price between 9am and 12 noon on weekdays.
