Booking a session
We have set out how a legally binding agreement between you and us is made.
- A booking at Strike can either be made online or in person.
- Each session lasts for 10 minutes per person per game (ie if two people book two games, the session length would be 40 minutes).
Online bookings
- To book a session online, simply book a game of ten pin bowling. It is important to read and check your booking carefully before submitting it. Your booking will then be acknowledged via email.
Walk-in bookings
- If you are unable to book a session online, a member of the team at Peterlee Leisure Centre will assist you to book a session in person.
- All you have to do is visit the leisure centre, review the relevant terms and conditions and pay for your session. Once you have paid for your session, you will receive a printed confirmation ticket.
Once you have received either an acknowledgement email or printed confirmation ticket:
- a legally binding agreement will be in place between you and us
- we will provide the services as agreed during the booking process
We may contact you to say that we do not accept your booking. This is typically for the following reasons:
- we cannot carry out the services (this may be because, for example, we have a shortage of staff)
- we cannot authorise your payment
- you are not allowed to buy the services from us
- we have to close the facility or building due to any foreseen circumstances
Cancellation period
- You have the right to cancel your booking and therefore this agreement within seven days without giving any reason.

- If you cancel your booking within seven days, we will reimburse all payments received from you.
- If your booking is cancelled outside of the seven day cancellation period, your booking will be non-refundable.
Effects of cancellation
- If you cancel your booking and this agreement, within the seven days cancellation period, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you.
- If you cancel your booking session(s) after the seven day cancellation period, your booking will be non-refundable.
