📣 A FRIENDLY REMINDER – PLEASE BOOK YOUR SESSIONS AT PAR TRACK! 🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♂️

We’re delighted to see so many people using Par Track to stay active and healthy! 💚 To help us keep our facilities running smoothly, please remember to book online every time you use the gym, attend a fitness class or use the athletics track.

Here's why booking is so important:

💻 1. Avoid disappointment

Booking secures your place and lets you check availability before setting off. If a session isn't showing on the booking system, it means the facility isn't available at that time. Please don't just turn up and assume you can use it!

📅 2. Helps us manage our facilities safely

Bookings help us manage numbers, coordinate activities and provide a safe environment for everyone. This is particularly important at our athletics track, which is shared by runners, athletics clubs, footballers and other groups.

🏃 3. Check track availability before running

If a track session is showing as unavailable, there is a reason. It could be an athletics club training night, an organised event or football being played on the pitches inside the track.

⚽ IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT RUN ON THE TRACK WHILE FOOTBALL IS TAKING PLACE.

This is a safety issue. Footballs can come onto the running track unexpectedly, putting runners and players at risk. Please respect the booking system and use the track only when it is available.

🛠️ 4. Helps us maintain and improve our facilities

Accurate booking records help us demonstrate how well our facilities are used. This information is vital when applying for funding and grants for future improvements and maintenance. For example, demonstrating how many people use our athletics track helps us make the case for funding when it needs resurfacing or other major investment.

⚖️ 5. Supports our insurance requirements

We need accurate records of who is using our facilities and when. Online bookings help us maintain these records in line with our insurance requirements, providing important documentation should an incident occur.

😊 6. Keeps things simple for everyone!

Booking in advance means less confusion, fewer interruptions and a smoother experience for everyone. Even if you're a regular member or have been using the facilities for years, please remember to book every time.

👉 READY TO BOOK?

Visit https://partrack.org.uk/book-it to book your gym session, fitness class or athletics track visit.

Thank you for your cooperation and for supporting your community-owned Par Track. By booking every time, you're helping us keep our facilities safe, accessible and sustainable for the whole community. 💚

Please book. Please check availability. Enjoy your session!

⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE – PAR TRACK ⚠️

Please be aware that there is currently a large branch hanging from one of the large trees on the far side of the athletics track.

As a precaution, we have barrier tape in place around the affected area. A qualified tree surgeon will be visiting the site later today to assess the tree and make it safe.

🚫 PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THE TAPED-OFF AREA UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

This is for your safety and the safety of everyone using Par Track. Please keep children and dogs away from the area too.

Thank you for your cooperation while we get this dealt with. 🙏
