We are using a booking system called 'EnrolMy' so you will be able to see what's on, book multiple days at once and pay straight away. Once you select 'book now' for your chosen recreation centre, you will be taken to the EnrolMy site where you can make your booking. Please note that EnrolMy uses a secure payment system and that your invoice will have 'EnrolMy' on it.
