The aqua aerobics classes at the leisure centre I am a member of are extremely popular, especially the Monday, Wednesday and Friday classes. There is a class every week day.
Monday and Wednesday mornings are the ones I try to go to each week.
The classes I go to are always full , and book up as soon as booking opens a week ahead.
Booking opens to non members 6 days ahead and to members a week ahead. It opens at 10pm. So, I and all other regulars have alarms set on out phones for just before 10pm so we can be on the booking system at 10.
I do this alarm and book routine if I am out with friends, on holiday, whatever is going on if I want to go the following weeks class. It gets fully booked within a few minutes.
Almost always I am booked in just after 10, but the odd time I haven't been able to get place. You can then join a Wait List.
When someone cancels their booking everyone on this list gets an email, then it's fastest finger first! Of course most of us are not constantly checking our emails so when you do see it that place has gone.
I am booked in for next Wednesday but couldn't get in for Monday. I am of course on the Wait List. Despite have 2 GC yesterday and the little one overnight I have tried to keep my phone with me and set the alert for emails. Nothing between Monday night and today. Then at 7.30 this morning, when I imagine I was sorting out GS3's breakfast, there was a cancellation email! I didn't see it until 30 minute later, when the place had gone. Nothing since then. I have got a place from a cancellation before so I hope I will this time.
Wish me luck, I really don't want to miss my Monday class!!
