Online Booking

On-line bookings Details

Welcome to the Southgate Squash and Racketball Club online court booking system.
System is now LIVE (from Monday 21st January 2008) for booking courts from 28th January 2008.

Quick glance at what's available today.

Before you start using the online booking system we strongly advise you to read through the notes on getting started below. You can also download and save the getting started document to your own computer, click on one of the links at the bottom of this page. Click here when you are ready to go to the online booking system.

Getting Started

You can access the on-line court booking system via the Club's web site from any computer connected to the internet by selecting the link to the Booking System. Once in the system, click 'Log in' and type in your Member ID and PIN. The system can also be accessed for booking courts using the Touch screen in the Clubhouse.

You can find your Member ID by using the "Forgot your PIN Code" button on the login screen. Your PIN and ID will be sent to the EMail address held in the Club database. This should be the same address as contained in the "Member Information" file. (Also handy if you subsequently forget your PIN or ID.)

Another way to find out your ID is to use the touch screen in the Clubhouse and press the "Members List" button to access your name & Member ID. Your initial PIN is as set / re-set by yourself during TEST phase (refer initial email / letter from System Administrator).

It is important that you change your PIN to a number only you will know on your first visit (and certainly before crediting your account) as the Club cannot be liable for any loss resulting from failure to do so. You can change your PIN by going into the "Member Information" link in the left hand navigation bar. Input a new PIN, repeat the number and click "Update". This will be your PIN for all future logins unless you decide to change it. You can also revise or add any other personal details, e.g. EMail address or phone numbers. You can elect to request booking confirmations via email as a reminder.

You can now return to the "Booking System" to credit your account and begin booking courts.

You must credit your account before you can make any bookings for play from 20th January 2008.
To do this, "Log in", choose "Pay Online" and follow the instructions to credit your account using your credit or debit card (minimum credit card amount £30). This will take you out of the system so on your return you will need to "Log in" again.

To cover bank charges and help defray the ongoing costs of the system, a charge of £1 for credit card payments and no charge for debit card payments will be made whenever a Member's court booking account is credited. No additional charge will be made when a court is booked other than the appropriate court fee (e.g. peak or non peak).

Members not having access to the internet can deposit a cheque or cash with the Treasurer or System Administrator and use the Touch screen in the Clubhouse to book courts. This process does not carry a charge but immediate account update is not always provided. (Please write your member ID on the back of the cheque). As it will be necessary for the System Administrator to credit your account manually (especially if being notified by the Treasurer) of the amount you have paid, it may be a few days before you can begin booking courts; whereas crediting the system on line has immediate effect.

If you require WCGTrust staff to book courts on your behalf, an administration fee may be imposed over and above the court fee. They will charge £6 whether peak or off-peak.

To book a court select the "Area" you require and the day (drop down options) on which you wish to book a court. Bookable courts will be highlighted in blue with dark text. Click on the slot you require and complete the details. Courts in grey/blue with greyed out text and greyed out courts are not bookable; green indicates one of your own court bookings and red indicates a court booked by another Member. Other colours denote courts block booked for Tournaments, Club Periods, and Matches etc.

When you have decided how long you wish to play and entered the relevant details select "Confirm Booking" and you will be returned to the booking sheet. You can enter the name of your playing partner for the booking, who will be invited to transfer his/her proportion of the booking fee to you when they next log on.

If you subsequently wish to relinquish the court you can delete the booking by clicking the booked court and selecting the "Delete Booking" option. If you delete (cancel) the booking more than 48 hours in advance the system will automatically credit your account; after that a refund will be made only if the court is subsequently booked by another member.

You can check your account at any time by clicking "My Account" in the navigation bar. Similarly you can view your open bookings, from the same navigation bar, by choosing "My Bookings". The system will provide options for you to follow. Always remember to "Log out" before leaving the system.

You will be automatically logged out after a set period of time if the system has not been accessed. This ensures no one else can enter details on your behalf.
