Folkestone Sports Centre Cafe & Bar

Let down by Stour centre for a 5 a side indoor booking. This came Folkestone sports centre to the rescue, the indoor area is actually better here, staff are very quick to change over the court area from previous bookings eg badminton etc. You get a full hour as paid for. Plus it was £10 cheaper here for the booking compared to the stour centre.

I was uncertain about going back to the gym after the last 18 months, especially with covid cases on the rise again. But looking at the Trust's website I saw they were limiting numbers to 8 per 15 minute interval, with a maximum session time of one hour. The booking system shows how many slots were available and it was easy to see there were only a handful of sessions booked for early morning. So I booked an early session and went with the intention of leaving if I felt it was unsafe. I found the gym had been expanded to provide more space between each piece of equipment, there was plenty of hand gel and disinfectant spray to wipe down the equipment and it was easy to have a workout and keep well clear of other members. I've been 5 times in the last 10 days, each time early morning and each time numbers have been very low. I have not looked at numbers at later times in the day, but I'm quite happy to continue going with the precautions that are in place
