New booking system with deposits

Content has been removed.

We were when I worked for the CPS, so a government job. Lots of monitor work and you could claim for eye tests. However, being the government it was so ridiculously complexed I could not be bothered. I wear specs anyway and went for yearly checks, which were paid for as part of monthly plan that gives large discounts / accidental damage cover on the specs. Try getting that lot into the government claim form.😂

I dont think it is a case of being generous this is what the law states

"4. Eyes and eyesight testing
The law says employers must arrange an eye test for display screen equipment (DSE) users if they ask for one, and provide glasses if an employee needs them only for DSE use."

i think rather than run the risk of having law suites filed against them for loss of vision etc, the club sensibly took the approach that every employee would have access to a free eye/ear test, they probably struck a deal with one of the major suppliers.

this is what the HSE site says

"DSE work does not cause permanent damage to eyes. But long spells of DSE work can lead to:

tired eyes
discomfort
temporary short-sightedness
headaches
DSE work is visually demanding, so it can make someone aware of eyesight problems they have not noticed before (including changes in eyesight that happen with age).

I think the section I have highlighted, without being disrespectful, probably relates to a lot of wardens, so all praise to the club for being proactive.

" With regard to the screen replacement I'm amazed, shocked really, that some of the screen being replaced could be 13+ years old. Most decent companies replace their tech every 2-5 years. Of course the new screens will be as much use as chocolate teapots if the tech supplying the image can't do so at an appropriate resolution."

well we complain when the club spend unnecessary money, which they have done, e.g. new logo, new uniforms etc. but when you consider that many of the screeens in use on sites are probably only used for 6 months of the year, and when you consider that many are probably only in use 8-10 hrs per day, they probably do not need replacing so frequently, as for the resolution, well the current and probably the future booking system will probably not be high on graphics which require high resolution screens, so even 13 year old screens should be able to cope with what is basically text based information.

Not trying to top thrump you but at my last place the head IT guy had six with two rows of three screens.

Yes agree that two is great.

This is a classic example of an indvidual taking a topic right of thread (yet again. )

It's got nothing to do with the new booking system for members.

I suggest the individual concerned uses their "eyes" to read the T&Cs, although some like threads that wander the club might be relieved we're not discussing the new system....

Wow, that's a lot!  You'd need a special card for that (or more than one computer of course)!!

I don't think I'd need that many. 

Anyway, better get back on topic. 

Hi David the thing is I’ve received an eMail stating my September booking has been transferred to the new system, but has it if the new system isn’t up & running yet 😝
