As England continues to open up with infections rates still high, the chance of a positive case in our staff or the requirement for staff members to self-isolate is higher and during our key season would result in the centre partially or fully closing. This could have a devasting impact on our business and your use of the centre. We hope our customers will help us avoid this situation by following our guidelines.
