LEISURE fans in Burnley will be fully in the picture when they take the opportunity of getting a new sports membership card being launched next week.

The Ace Card is a one-off registration card covering activities at the Thompson Centre, Padiham Leisure Centre and Gannow Pool and Fitness Centre, taking care of membership, gym pass, annual or saver cards all in one.

There is no cost when applying for the swipe card and no need to supply a photograph because leisure managers will take their own, via a digital camera.

Anyone interested can register by picking up an application form at any of the centres, and gain automatic entry into a prize draw, with the chance of winning one year's free use of a chosen leisure activity.
