Discount With Aquaterra

We are pleased to announce a big reduction on Aquaterra platinum leisure cards for staff and volunteers of organisations that are members of Voluntary Action Islington.

By arrangement with Aquaterra we can offer the platinum leisure card for £260 per annum to the staff and volunteers of organisations that are Voluntary Action Islington members. This gives those who sign up:

Membership of seven leisure centres in Islington (Archway, Cally Pool, Finsbury, Highbury Pool, Ironmonger Row Baths, Islington Tennis Centre and Market Road, Sobell Leisure Centre)
Free gym, swim, sauna, exercise classes and water aerobics
Priority bookings and discounts for football, suntanning, tennis, Turkish baths, badminton, squash and skating

There will be no joining fee for staff and volunteers taking up this offer plus there is a saving of £250 per person on the usual price of a platinum card.

To join all you have to do is complete a Leisure Discount Card Application form (obtainable from Rosie Norton at IVAC) and send a cheque for £260 made payable to Islington Voluntary Action Council for each member of staff or volunteer taking up this offer. You will then be sent a membership voucher for each person to present at a Leisure Centre to obtain their membership card.

Please note that if your staff or volunteers are already annual members of Aquaterra they can cancel their existing membership and have a refund for the period that it still runs in order to take advantage of this arrangement.
