Is membership worth it?
Every member booking saves £8 on the court rate, and the free off-peak hour each quarter is worth £32 — about £11 a month.
On the £25/month founder plan, booking a court around 2 times a month covers your membership cost when you also use your free off-peak hour each quarter — before the longer booking window or the discounts around Surya Centre.
