Bookings, Access Cardholders and Using the Centre

Bookings

Individual lanes cannot be booked. The only exception to this for approved and qualified coaches who are charging for their services. When coaches have made bookings the Availability Calendar will specify which lane(s) have been booked. The other lanes will be available for Casual, Unlimited and Limited Hours Access Card holders to use with a maximum of four people. Those lanes cannot be booked or used by teams/groups. 

Bookings cannot be made on line. All booking requests must be sent by email to tsct@xtra.co.nz. Please check the Availability Calendar to ensure the date and time of the proposed booking(s) is available before submitting booking requests.

If you click on a particular booking on the Availability Calendar you will see the time the booking starts and finishes and details if the booking is not for all three lanes.

All bookings of the Centre are required to be recorded on the Availability Calendar at least 3 hours before the start time of the booking. To enable this to be achieved booking requests should be submitted as early as possible to give the Trust sufficient time to process the request and record it on the Availability Calendar. The Trust does not guarantee booking requests will be able to be processed in time to meet the 3 hour requirement.

Where a booking request is for a start time of 10.00am or earlier the booking request must be received by the Trust before 8.00pm the night before.

The above also applies to bookings of individual lanes for one on one coaching where the coach is being paid for their services.

Bookings will not be accepted for dates more than 12 months in advance.

Group Booking Rates

1. Adult Groups – $80 per hour
2. School Age Groups – $60 per hour
3. Where a combination of school age and adult participants, excluding the coach, are involved the adult group rate will apply to that booking.

The above rates are GST inclusive. We are unable to accept EFTPOS or credit cards.

Groups and people booking the Centre must intend to use the Centre. Bookings will not be accepted if the intention is to use the Centre only if the weather at the time of the booking is not good.

Using the Centre

When Access Cardholders present their card at the card reader the door will unlock for five seconds to allow them to open the door and enter the Centre. If the door is not opened within five seconds it will re-lock and the access card will need to presented at the reader again. Once the card holder is in the Centre the door will close, lock and remain locked.

Users of the Centre cannot manually unlock the door and leave it unlocked. In the event any members of a group do not enter the Centre with the Access Cardholder or leave the Centre and return later they will need to press the doorbell button, located above the card reader, to advise that they have arrived. The door can then be unlocked by someone in the Centre using the door release button, located in front of the viewing area, or someone can go to the door and open it. When the door closes it will re-lock.

Please note: The door can be opened manually from the inside by anyone at any time.
