Important enrolment information During the enrolment process, all attempts will be made to match your requests with a confirmed activity booking. However as there is limited availability, this is not always possible. Once an activity is full, a waitlist will be created. If a vacancy becomes available, an Adventurer from the waitlist will be contacted. Experience has shown that using such a system allows greater opportunity for participants. You are required to list your top three preferences for Adventures. All Adventure descriptions and details are listed in this booklet. The Leisure Centres endeavour to award one excursion to each participant. There is no limit to the number of activities that can be requested. Enrolments are allocated in a random draw, to ensure the process is fair and equitable. If you would like your form to be processed with another person’s form, please staple them together. Please be aware that there are two options for payment: 1. The most convenient option is to include your credit card details on your enrolment form and allow your entire enrolment to be completed on your behalf. 2. The other option is to pay via cash or cheque at the reception desk at the City of Joondalup Leisure Centres – Craigie, once you have been allocated your activities. Please be aware that once you have been allocated your activities from your preferences, you will be required to pay for this activity, as you have been allocated a spot ahead of other adventurers.
