If your sports club or organisation has a Hello Club access and light control system installed, this may include a kiosk touchscreen which you can use to turn on the court or table lights for your booking.

Our series of help articles explains how to operate the kiosk touchscreen and use it to activate your bookings. This article explains how to start a session without creating a booking first.

Note: This feature is only available if you facility is using the Flexible light control setting. For the automatic or check-in light control settings, you must make a booking first in order to start a session.

Once you’ve signed in to the kiosk touchscreen, tap the SELECT COURT button that should appear between the new booking and logout buttons:

On the area selection screen, you can now select an area to start your session on:

Tap on any of the available areas that aren’t in use to continue.

Tap any of the available session types to continue.

If your facility is using the Automatic or Check-in light control settings, it is not possible for members to start ad-hoc sessions without a booking. Please create a new booking first to activate the lights.

No, this is no longer possible. If you want to use a pre-paid booking to activate your lights, please check-in to your booking first and follow the steps to start your booking.
