THE PARK CLUB EXCHANGES CONTRACT WITH DAVID LLOYD CLUBS; FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Why has the The Park Club entered into a commercial agreement with David Lloyd Clubs?

Ever since we have acquired The Park Club site back in 1997, interested parties have approached the owners seeking to purchase The Park Club for their own use. Throughout this period the owners have resisted, wishing to keep the Club family owned. 3 Keys factors have led to a change in this view:

i. David Lloyd are extremely well positioned in the UK health and fitness racquets sector to provide the level of investment required for a site of The Park Club’s magnitude

ii. David Lloyd have promised to provide a wide range of world-class facilities, whilst retaining the existing character of the popular club.

iii. The owners now have their own growing families to concentrate their energies on.

2. Will David Lloyd be investing in The Park Club?

Yes, they have promised to invest £8 million and transform The Park Club now into a David Lloyd Club, opening in April 2018. 

3. Does the Park Club have to close?

The club will be closed for a number of months. The Park Club and David Lloyd have looked at many ways to keep the club open while the work takes place, but unfortunately, such is the scale of the works, it’s just not possible, particularly from a health and safety perspective. On this basis the club will be closing on 15th July 2017 and re-open at the beginning of April 2018.

4. Will any of the outdoor space remain open when the club closes?

Whilst the main Club will close, Club des Sports, which remains under the management of The Park Club and The Hogarth Group will continue to operate.

5. What is happening to the team at The Park Club?

The Park Club and David Lloyd Leisure will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure staff jobs are retained either at CdS, HHC or other DLL Clubs, wherever possible.

6. What happens to my membership?

Your membership can run until completion whish is scheduled for 15 July 2017. There are several options regarding your membership. Whatever option you choose, The Park Club can assure you that as you have a Contract with us, you will be refunded for any unused part of your Membership should you wish to take this up. 

Annual Members 
In the next few days our membership team will be writing to those members with memberships that extend beyond 15 July 2017.

10. I was about to renew my Park Club membership – what should I do?

If you are due to renew as an annual member at The Park Club, you can renew for the annual amount pro-rata for the period taking you through to 15 July 2017.  If you would like to renew for the year, we will happily transfer your membership to The Hogarth Club, at reduced Hogarth membership rates, from that date and allow you access at both Clubs whilst The Park Club is still open.
