SBG Bury Terms & Conditions

CLUB RULES

All SBG Bury members and Pay As you Go (“Members”), guests, and those periodically visiting (together “you”)  SBG Bury Ltd (a “Club”) must comply with these Rules. These Rules are incorporated into a Member’s Contract with us, and compliance with these Rules is important both to maintain the standards at our Clubs and to enable Members to get full enjoyment from their Membership. 

Any person who does not comply with these Rules may be ejected from, or denied access to a Club, or may have their Membership terminated by SBG Bury Ltd if the non-compliance is serious.

Your safety and that of our people here at SBG Bury Ltd, is our highest priority.

As a result of COVID-19, things will operate a little differently around here and we are continuously monitoring the situation to make any necessary changes. As such, the Club Rules will change slightly. If in doubt, please ask a member of our team.

Any measures in the additional club and operational rules (on display in various parts of the club) take precedence over any others for the time being and they are in place to provide a safe environment for all; for training right, in line with best practice for social distancing, hygiene, cleanliness, club operations and team & member safety.

We reserve the right to make reasonable amendments to these Rules, or our individual Club operational rules, at any time. If we do this, we will give Members reasonable advance notice by placing the new Rules on a notice board.
