NOTE about furniture

Please note that hirers are expect to leave the rooms they hire as they found them. Please ensure you leave enough time and manpower to arrange the furniture as you want it and in particular to clean and return the furniture afterwards, since the caretaker is not allowed lift the large table on his own.

NOTE about the main hall floor

Accidents happen, that's life, however, if you do have a spill please could you wipe it up, after the party is over will do.

Drinks are sticky and when they dry they catch dirt which gets ground into the floor.

When you do clean please can you use PLAIN TAP WATER ONLY, do not use any detergents, they will spoil the finish. (a soft mop and a hand spay of water is available in the cupboard furthest from the kitchen in the downstairs corridor, along with brushes and a dustpan and brush)

If you do not clean up your own spills, we may have to use some of your deposit to employ a contractor to come and deal with the floor finish.

It is a beautiful sprung maple wood dance floor, so lets try and keep it that way. Thanks for your help, and enjoy your event to the full.

LOST PROPERTY

If you find any lost property would you please leave it in the office. If you have lost anything, please ring the caretaker to see if it has been found and when you could collect it.

Please remember that your booking is not pencilled into the diary until you have requested a contract and given a postal address to which it is to be sent to, and your booking is not confirmed until you return a signed contract with a deposit cheque. The deposit cheque is banked but will be returned after your event. The full fee is then due three weeks before the event.
