SAUNA

Why not enjoy the refreshing and relaxing effects of a sauna.
Just a few minutes trying this form of bathing is enough to
help you forget even the busiest of days. Switch off, relax
and recharge your batteries. Taking a sauna will restore the
natural balance of body and mind. A short sauna does you good,
keeps you fit and is fun into the bargain.

Bookings for saunas are accepted up to 7 days in advance either
by telephone (594000) or in person at the reception.

Sessions last for 45 minutes, and include 15 minutes apres sauna.

The sessions cost :-
Staff Member £2.60 - Student £2.40 - Non-member £4.60
Includes a FREE swim. Towels are not provided.

When you arrive for your sauna please pay at reception. You will
be issued with a key for the sauna room, for which a deposit will
be taken (£3.00 non member, or membership card for members).
Unfulfilled bookings may be charged for, but you will not be
expected to pay if you cancel at least 2 hours in advance.

SAUNA OPENING TIMES

SUNBEDS

New .... New .... New .... New .... New !
Tancab - the new dimension in tanning technology. A remarkable vertical tanning
system. A new dimension in quick, even and comfortable all over tanning.

It's cool
An ultra powerful fan combined with tancab's unique power flow vent system gives
a constant breeze and more than 2000 air changes per hour. Overhead grips allow
comfortable tanning of those awkward areas conventional beds miss.

It's quick
Not everyone has a lot of time to spend on a sunbed, with Tancabs the 160w vhr
tubes reduce tanning times to a mere 5 minutes.

It's hygienic
With vertical tanning systems there is no perspiration or contact with the
tanning surface, which makes the whole process extremely hygienic.

For those of you who prefer the more conventional tanning experience, we also
have two new 30 tube, 2 facial, high power sunbeds.

Each Tancab session lasts for five minutes.
Each sunbed session lasts for ten minutes.

The cost per session is :-
Staff members £3.80
Student members £3.70
(including 50+ and unemployed)
Non-members £4.40

Bookings must be made in person, and the required fee paid at the time of
booking (up to 7 days in advance). Persons arriving late for a booking may
be refused admission, and therefore you should be punctual and ready to
use your bed at the time booked.

When you arrive for your sunbed, you will be issued with a key for the sunbed
room, for which a deposit will be taken. £3.00 non-members / membership card
members.

In the event of cancellation, fees will only be refunded if 24 hours notice is given.

YOU ARE ADVISED NOT TO USE SUNBEDS IF :-

  • You are under 16.
  • You are taking medicines or drugs that increase sensitivity to ultra-violet rays,
  • or if you have a medical condition which is worsened by sunlight.
  • You have fair, sensitive skin that burns easily or tans slowly/poorly.

  • You have a large number of freckles and/or red hair.
  • You have a large number of moles.
  • You or anyone in your family have had skin cancer in the past.
  • You are pregnant.

HOW OFTEN ?

As a general guide, it is best not to exceed 20 sessions per year. You should have
at least 24 hours between sessions, and you should not sunbathe on the same
day as you have a sunbed.
Take a break from all tanning for at least four weeks each year.

BEFORE USING THE SUNBED :-

  • Remove all cosmetics from your body.
  • Take off all jewellery.
  • Always use the protective goggles provided (better still - buy your own).
  • Ensure that your body is not wet.
  • Ensure that you are fully aware of how to operate the sunbed,
  • (if not, ask a member of staff).
  • Sunbed users are advised to spray the acrylic sheet and wipe with the towelling provided before and after use.

AFTERWARDS

If you notice any lumps, sores, unusual moles or skin discolouration, you should consult
your doctor.
