Scanning Your Membership Card

For 2024, all Members entering Members’ Areas, including Micky Stewart Members’ Pavilion, Peter May Garden, Lock Balcony and Laker Balcony, will have to scan their Membership Card and again when exiting.

This information will enable us to ensure we are offering the very best service in the Members’ Areas, and they do not go beyond capacity.
