UDPATE – Fram Leisure Covid-19 Re-opening Announcement
Updated: Wednesday 7 April 2021 at 14:53 BST
We are very pleased to announce that due to the easing of national lockdown restrictions, Sports Centres have been given the green light to reopen from Monday 12 April.
All the measures detailed below have been reviewed and updated based on our experiences of reopening last August, government guidance and our own risk assessments.
Important information regarding membership payments:
- As a gesture of good will Fram Leisure have decided not to charge for April. Members who paid January’s fees will then receive May for free meaning all direct debits will restart on 1st June 2021.
- Annual payers will have their membership expiry date re calculated to compensate for the time the centre was closed.
General Measures we are undertaking include:
Booking:
- Bookings will be taken from Wednesday 7th April – Sunday 11th July 9am – 5pm. Then from Monday 12th April during opening hours.
- To use the facility, you must pre book a session.
- Please book by phone on 01728 727223 or at reception – please leave a voicemail if the line is busy, or by emailing framleisure@framlinghamcollege.co.uk.
- Each gym session will last 45 minutes. The pool sessions will last 40 minutes. 10 minutes is then allocated to change and vacate the centre. This then allows the staff enough time to sanitise hot spots and touch points ready for the next session.
- Limited numbers available (15 for the Swimming Pool and 14 for the Gym per session).
- Please cancel your booking in advance if you are unable to attend to give other members the opportunity to attend a session.
- There will be no limits to the sessions you can book per week, but this will be kept under review.
- Bookings can only be made up to 7 days in advance.
- A waiting list will be used when sessions are fully booked.
