WHERE IS WINTER/INDOOR PLAY?
GBPC is offering Winter/Indoor play in 2 locations: The Legacy Recreation Centre in Thedford and the South Huron Recreation Centre in Exeter.
WHERE IS THE SCHEDULE POSTED?
Watch for a monthly schedule to be posted on the front page of our website. See the above chart for the available days of the week and times.
HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR PLAY AT EITHER LOCATION?
Members sign up for either location using SIGN UP GENIUS. SUG is available on our website in MEMBERS ONLY and the SUG app can be downloaded to the home screen on your phone.
HOW MANY SPOTS ARE AVAILABLE?
There are 19 sign up slots for each time slot. In most cases, one spot will be reserved for the convener.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PLAY IN EXETER AT SOUTH HURON RECREATION CENTRE (SHRC)? In Exeter, the cost for play is $3.00 / 2-hour period, paid directly to SHRC each time you play. The convener will collect the money for the group and pay on behalf of the club for each time slot.
HOW DO I PAY FOR THEDFORD? At the Legacy Recreation Centre in Thedford, the club will be using a punch card system. The court convener will simply punch one number on a member's punch card, and the player gains admittance to the 2-hour session.
HOW MUCH IS IT TO PLAY IN THEDFORD? The punch cards are purchased in increments of 5 or 10. Each 2-hour session costs $4 so a 5-punch card costs $20 and a 10-punch card costs $40.
WHERE DO I PURCHASE THE PUNCH CARDS? Members may purchase punch cards using the black PURCHASE button and a credit card through this link: https://secure.pickleballcanada.org/event/winter-indoor-play-punch-cards/38862/ Punch cards may be shared and are transferable from one member to another. Although not refundable, unused punch cards will be valid from year-to-year. We prefer that members make arrangement to pick up their punch card. Once you purchase your punch card on line, you will be contacted about picking up the punch card.
WHAT MAKES A PUNCH CARD VALID? The punch cards will be issued and SIGNED by a GBPC Director.
WHAT IF A MEMBER FORGETS THEIR PUNCH CARD? If someone forgets their card, they may borrow from another member. Members are to work it out among themselves.
MAY A CONVENER COLLECT CASH? NO.
WILL THE SCHEDULE CHANGE? We hope to fill our time slots every day. Conveners are asked to contact the directors through our email or WhatsApp chat if adjustments to the schedule are required: grandbendpickleballclub@gmail.com
