Squash Court Lights Payment System
Following the last newsletter some members have queried the need to change the way we pay for booking squash courts.
After more than a decade, paying for courts via the card and light meter system has reached its serviceable life. It is no longer possible to maintain the light meter as the original supplier is no longer in business and the system itself is obsolete. It has therefore imperative that we replace the current system with one that embraces our philosophy of maximising the squash experience for members.
The introduction of the Wazygoose on line booking system in September 2010 provided members with enormous flexibility and convenience. As members evolved their booking habits, a constant complaint has been that peak time courts are regularly cancelled at late notice or on the day in question, preventing other members the opportunity to use the said courts. I‘m sure that all members would agree, we have a personal responsibility to each other to ensure court time is available whenever possible.
To address the objectives above, the new payment system will be implemented on 1st June 2013. It will enable continued ease of booking courts, while ensuring maximum court time available.
As with all change, I am sure there will be some early issues and we will monitor it closely and welcome all feedback.
In addition, I am delighted to report that while supporting the cost of implementation of the new system, the Executive Committee of Northern Football Club has agreed that the membership and court fees will remain the same for the season 2013/14.
We continue to be the most progressive and most affordable squash experience in the area
In the next newsletter we will answer more questions about how the new system will work and the cancellation/refund policy.
