Booking for UCD Gym

Stopped Development, booking of gym was removed after a couple of months and before worked on further functionality

Automated booking for UCD gym so you don't miss out on the time slot you want.

Since reopening of gyms in Ireland (after closure for the Covid19 pandemic) my university gym requires booking the gym.
Booking for each timeslot opens 3 hours before the respective timeslot. This became a problem for me when undergraduates returned and the slots booked out almost instantly (even at 6 in the morning). This program is written to prevent me having to get up at 6am and refreshing my browser just to get a gym slot 3 hours later.
