CONTACT

If in any doubt about this contact bookings@polofarm.org. Please also send an email if the booking is imminent.

LOOKING FOR A SPARE SLOT

This system is based on bookings reserved or made - not on what slots are available as it is impossible actually to list these in a flexible times system of course (think about it!).

To simplify searching it is probably best to start in any one month view, check a day, and check slots within that day. The month view can be used to check quickly if a sequence of slots is available. The minibus and clubhouse facilities are rarely used more than once in any one day.

THE MINIBUS

The minibus will likely as not be used for long journeys - and it will be assumed the requirement will be "all day" on occasions it is required. For short periods, however, when known, please state start and end times its use is required.

All users should be displayed as "Minibus Users".

Please make sure any nominated driver has previously passed document details to Roger Snelling for insurance purposes.

Pitch Bookings

Admin Team — Mon, 10 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT

The Club has three all-weather "astro" playing surfaces - one sand-fill, two water-base - and several grass pitches which are available for trainings sessions or matches when not required for regular needs. Two all-weather pitches have top-class floodlighting permitting night use to 9:30pm.

The sandbase is suitable for football with appropriate footwear.

Grass pitches are available for lacrosse, football practice and mini-pitch games (other games by request). The two cricket fields are available for society, touring and inter-firm functions with member links. There is even an area set aside for that peculiarly localised game of Bat 'n Trap. A separate croquet area is also available.

Enquiries on rates and pitch bookings should be made through our Club Administrator, or by phone 01227 769159 evenings or matchdays and weekends, when others are around to help. Use of floodlights will add to pitch costs

Booking Pitches -The small print:
	Please remember that the availability shown is subject to change and cannot be guaranteed. From time to time it is necessary for us to cancel bookings - we will endeavour to give you as much notice as possible.
	Account holders may reserve and will be invoiced in the usual way. Non account holders may be required to pay before any booking can be confirmed.
	If you need to cancel a confirmed booking - please advise us as soon as possible to avoid charges. "No shows" will be charged. Please make a note of any bookings cancelled because of poor weather.
	Please observe any 'conditions of usage' notices that may from time to time be relevant - particularly in respect of correct footwear, pitch watering and floodlights. Several sports groups have to co-exist - so please be sensitive to individual requirements. Please avoid bad language, noise and distraction of other users. If cricket is being played, please wait until "over" breaks before moving to and from the sandbase. Avoid bringing muddy footwear onto either of the allweather pitches -practice only on the allweather pitches when grass areas are muddy. Do not "knock up" against or behind the tennis courts if any play is in progress. The groundsman has absolute say on pitch usage.
