Question

How do I book a court for 30, 60 or 90 minutes?

Answer

The booking system has now been changed so that you can select the length of your booking. 

• BEFORE you select your start time, click on ‘Duration’ in the black ‘menu band’. 
• You can select 30, 60 or 90 minutes.
• The default period for a booking will always be sixty minutes if you do not select a duration, and this value is shown at the top of the list.

Once you have selected your required duration, you can then book as normal

Points to note:

• Whichever period you choose, you will only be able to select a period of that length – so for example if you choose a duration of 60 minutes, you will not be able to book a 30 minute slot
• If you choose a booking period of 30 or 90 minutes the booking grid will be shown in 30 minute slots.
• Please DO NOT leave 30 minute gaps between bookings
• Please DO NOT book back to back courts with the same people – especially on the artificial clay courts
• You will need to select the ‘Duration’ EACH TIME you book a court, otherwise the duration will default to 60 minutes
