·       Discounts are automatically applied to members at their court rates at time of booking. A minimum 12 hour notice is required to cancel a booking. Cancellations by members made outside the 12hr period will receive a credit for use on a future booking. This credit is not transferrable and can only be used on their next booking. Cancellations made within a 12 hour period will not be refunded.

·       A minimum booking time of one hour applies with increments of 30 minutes thereafter.

·       Cancelled bookings by casual hirers will not be refunded if cancelled inside the 12 hour cancellation period.

Access Pin Holders

·       Membership and use of an Access Pin is not transferrable. You must be present in the Badminton Centre at all times when your pin is being used for a court booking.

·       Each B&DBA member has a Badminton WA member No and this forms a part of their access pin code. This code entitles the hirer to discounted booking fees.
