We make reasonable efforts to ensure information published on this website is accurate and up to date.

However, club information can change. This may include fixtures, team information, opening times, events, membership details, availability, prices and other information.

We cannot guarantee that every piece of information on the website will always be complete, accurate or current.

If you are relying on information for a particular event, booking or activity, please contact the Club if you require confirmation.

4. Sports, Fixtures and Events

Information about cricket, other sports, fixtures, training sessions, teams and club events is provided for general information.

Fixtures and events may be changed, postponed or cancelled for reasons outside our control, including weather, competition arrangements, availability or other circumstances.

Where possible, we will update the website or our other communication channels when changes occur.

5. Membership

Information about Heaton Sports Club memberships is provided for general guidance.

Membership applications may be subject to eligibility requirements, Club rules, availability, approval processes and the relevant membership terms in force at the time.

Submitting an enquiry or application through the website does not necessarily guarantee membership.

6. Function Room Hire

The website may allow visitors to enquire about or book The Milne Suite for functions and events.

Availability displayed through an online booking system is subject to the Club’s booking procedures and any applicable Function Room Hire Terms & Conditions.

Where separate Function Room Hire Terms & Conditions apply to a booking, those terms will take precedence over these general Website Terms & Conditions in relation to the hire.

Submitting a booking request does not override any requirement for Club approval where approval is required.

7. Online Payments

The website may allow payments to be made for certain Club services, bookings, memberships, sponsorships or activities.

Payments may be processed by an independent payment provider such as Stripe.

Payment information is processed securely through the relevant payment provider and is subject to that provider’s terms and privacy practices.

A successful payment does not remove any separate eligibility, availability or approval requirements associated with the relevant service.

Businesses and individuals may be able to sponsor players through the website.

Sponsorship is subject to availability and any applicable Club requirements.

Where appropriate, sponsor information such as a business name, logo and website address may be displayed publicly on the Heaton Sports Club website.
