Inverness Leisure User Group
The Inverness Leisure User Group meet bimonthly and it is our aim to provide advice, support and suggestions from the users of the facility to the staff and board of Inverness Leisure.
We are a group of individuals representing clubs and organisations who use all parts of the facility from the wet and dry sides to the athletics park, climbing wall and fitness areas of the centre.
It is important to note that the quality of service that we receive is a very high priority for Inverness Leisure and we form part of their external monitoring process.
