We are very pleased that we will be able to open the club on Wednesday 2nd December. The club will be open Monday – Sunday 07.00am – 10.00pm. We will confirm our opening hours for the festive period over the coming weeks. Advance booking via the online booking system is essential for all activities. Please include the names of all players in any bookings made. There will be a team member either at reception or in the bar to assist members.
