No reallocation will be arranged by the LCSD if the leisure facilities are not available for hirers’ use because of inclement weather or operation problems of the venues.
If a hirer wishes to cancel the booking for the free use of a leisure facility, he/she may return the completed application form for cancellation of booking or a written confirmation for this purpose plus the permit concerned to the LCSD by fax, e-mail or in person. Upon receipt of the written notification, the LCSD will delete the booking of the facility from the computerised booking system. The facility will then be released to other people for booking/to the walk-in applicants. Application forms for cancellation of booking are available at all booking offices at LCSD leisure venues or can be downloaded from the LCSD website.
If a hirer fails to take up the booked facility 10 minutes after the start time of the booked session, the facility will be reallocated to any walk-in applicants on a first-come-first-served basis. The walk-in applicant who is so allocated a facility does not need to surrender the facility to the original hirer upon the latter’s late arrival. Registration for use of all vacant leisure facilities will begin after the start of each session.
If a hirer of an indoor basketball / netball / volleyball court fails to take up the booked facility 10 minutes after the start time of the booked session or if there is insufficient number of participants to use the facility, the LCSD reserves the right to reallocate the booked facility for other uses (e.g. a badminton court) to meet the needs of walk-in applicants.
