Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the book drop off?
To better manage the growth of our annual GABBS bookfair, we no longer accept donations through at the main front office of the Barfoot & Thompson Stadium. Instead, all donations must be taken to the designated donations drop-off site, where volunteers are onsite specifically to sort through all the donations coming through. A map detailing how to get to the site and access times can be found here.
What time do you open & close?
Our business hours are Monday to Friday from 8:30AM to 4:30PM. On weekends we are closed for the general public.
Is there parking available?
Yes, we have free public parking available. Read more info on Venue Parking. On weekdays, our parking spaces will most likely be occupied by affiliates of the Barfoot & Thompson Stadium, Kohi Learning Centre (preschool), Kohi Fitness & Rehab (fitness Gym & physio), and Selwyn College (school). On weekends, our carparks may be full due to various events happening on the premise. See our Upcoming Events to prepare in advance.
How do I book a court?
We accept casual bookings for our Main Floor and Small Gym courts on a regular basis. To enquire, please fill in and submit our Clubs & Casual Bookings Form with all key booking details, and our team will get back to you regarding our availability ASAP.
Do you do walk-ins?
Due to the various events occurring during the week here, we advise all those intending to book a court to fill out our booking form (as stated above). We also recommend calling during our office hours for a quick enquiry of the availability on the day.
Is there gym parking available?
Yes - we have designated parking spots for both gym and physio members at our rear carpark. Any unauthorised vehicles parked in these spots during the gym's business hours may be towed. To avoid this happening to you, please ensure you display a gym member sticker on your vehicle - ask the Gym staff for more information on getting your sticker.
