Kid’s Camp – Week 2 now live!

As we enter into the second week of our Virtual Kid’s Camp offerings, we hope that all those engaging with the project have found it to be entertaining and fulfilling. As ever, we’d love to hear how you’re getting on so please be sure to contact our designated coordinator Jo with any feedback via the web form or by emailing sportandwellbeing@southampton.ac.uk.

New Pricing Schemes #KeepingItSimple

As mentioned in our last newsletter, I am happy to share with you the latest updates regarding Sport and Wellbeing’s new pricing structure! Starting upon the day of our reopening, Monday the 7th of September, Sport and Wellbeing will be offering monthly contracts to ALL of our customers. Student, staff, and public will all be able to purchase a membership through a monthly subscription.

Additionally, we will be rolling Staff, Alumni, and Public memberships under the same umbrella of “Community Partner”

The new prices will be as follows:

University of Southampton Students: £12.99 a month

Community Partner members: £14.99 a month

Sports Pass: Absolutely free!

Pay As You Go: £4.50 for a session

All membership subscriptions will entail a £15.00 joining fee.

We encourage you to speak with a member of staff on reception at the time of your joining, to see if we are offering any deals or reductions on joining fees. This will be especially pertinent in our first few weeks of reopening.

Sign up will be available via the Join@Home function on our upcoming mobile app! Stay tuned as we look forward to sharing more about this in the future.

The Pay As You Go option will be available for most services offered by Sport and Wellbeing. This includes swimming, fitness classes, court bookings, and gym entry, all for the cost of £4.50 per usage.

Reopening

We would like to take the opportunity to issue a brief reminder that we will be reopening our doors to our customers on the 7th of September, 2020. So far we have made great progress in making sure all of our offerings Covid-19 compliant.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Pre-Paid Annual Refunds Update

As before, we are continuing to move forwards in issuing refunds to our many customers with a fixed term membership. We ask for your patience during this period as we are making our way through several thousand subscriptions.
