Grr. I have smoke coming out of my ears.


Phoned Harris Sports Centre 10 days ago to book a party for early Dec. Went in with my cheque to pay earlier this week and found that the 3-5pm slot we had booked, "noone had written it in the diary" and so we had to rebook (at 1-3pm, overlapping baby nap time!)


I also couldn't pay by cheque it turned out, but I said I would be in today with cash and made the receptionist promise they wouldn't give away this second booking too.


Well guess what.. they did! When she was writing in their diary, she'd apparently just put my phone no and name, she hadn't actually included that we had booked a party!


It was almost a disaster, but today's receptionist, thank goodness, decided that as there no other free slots over the whole weekend, she would create a 2-4 slot just for us (which will work just about as the party is 1h with the bouncy castle and one in the party room)


I left a written complaint for the manager, I wonder what their explanation will be? I would think twice before trying to book a party there again and I'm still a bit nervous about what we'll find when we turn up on the day.

Eugh, what a nightmare.


I would ask about being put in the classroom across from gym fire e it for the food bit as otherwise don't see how you will have time to set up or clear up afterwards.


I went to a party a while back where they used the classroom and it worked really well. Might take the pressure off a bit.


How annoying.

WEll, it's their problem really. Let's see what the manager says. They just seem really unprofessional, even now they just took my cash and gave me a receipt, there was no form or anything to fill in.

Fuschia,


What I mean is that if the people before you don't get out on time then you wont have time to set your food up, if you plan to do that?


Also, clearing up and vaccuming the room is your responsibility, and I know from the parties I've been to there the room is trashed at the end with food all over floor etc. and people rarely get out on time. Just don't want you stuck there waiting to get in, or under pressure to get out at the end, it may end up that you don't get the full hour in the room.


Anyway, hope it works out.

Usually when you book a venue you should complete a booking form - this shows if you have just paid a deposit, which will then give you a date to pay balance before the event. Form should be signed and dated by whoever took your booking - a copy to be retained by them plus your copy. In the event of a double book - the person who booked first and has paper evidence to prove it - should get the booking.

They don't seem to have any paperwork on the go at all!!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
