After booking a court you must add the name of your opponent to the booking to allow them access to the club via the door fob entry system. Both players can only gain access to the club 5 minutes before the booking time.
Both the online and in club systems are easy to use, but please don't hesitate to ask another member if anything is unclear.
You can top up your account online using Paypal, just click on topup credit in the main menu of the booking system.
The club secretary can also credit player's accounts if cheques are posted to him (please note there is a minimum amount of £30 to be credited, cheques should be made payable to Ferriby Hall Squash Club. Bank transfers can also be arranged just speak to the Club Secretary.
The court times are staggered to avoid congestion during changeovers. The court-side timers and the displays on the court controllers indicate when time is up. The main console also displays the used and remaining time for all courts.
Peak court times will be from 5.20pm until the end of the day, every day.
All members pay the same for court use - £5.50 for off peak and £7.00 for peak courts - which includes the booking fee and the lights. For pre-booked courts 50% is paid when booking the court and the balance is paid when the second player activates the lights using their fob.
All courts are simultaneously released at midnight on a 14 day rolling basis. Each day, a further days courts will be available for booking (two weeks in the future).
A full refund will be credited if a booking is cancelled more than 48 hours in advance. This falls to 50% refund between 24 and 48 hours and 25% refund if lthan 24 hours. Courtside Controllers
Small control boxes equipped with a fob reader and an LCD display are installed outside every court.
If a court is booked, the LCD display shows the name of the person that has booked it plus the time left for that session. The name of the second person appears when his/her fob is used to activate the lights.
This feature allows the court cost to be shared by both players. One member will book the court and pay for half of the court cost in advance. The second player activates the court lights at the time of play by placing his/her fob onto the court side controller. One of the two players must do this or the lights will not turn on.
You should hold the fob on the reader until the display confirms that the fob has been accepted. If you hold it on for longer, you may be charged for two or more extensions. It works best if you make sure the fob is pressing the edge ridge when you press it to the sensor.
