PARISH ROOM
USERS INFORMATION

There are two means of access to the Parish Room. The main access involves several short

flights of steps and may not be suitable for all users. There is an alternative steeply sloping path

at the perimeter wall. Wheelchair users may require additional assistance (eg; a healthy carer),

when accessing the Parish Room via this path, which is appropriate for an electric wheelchair.

All persons under the age of 16 using the Parish Room facility must be supervised at all times.

In the interest of safety, children should not enter the kitchen or play in the graveyard.

The kitchen is equipped with crockery, cutlery, glassware and modern cooking facilities,

including a refrigerator and a dishwasher. The hirer may use the equipment but must leave it in

a clean and tidy condition. No food must be left in the fridge.

Heating – the room will be set at an adequate level for your booking. If this is not satisfactory,

please discuss with the Parish Administrator or ring the contacts below.

Baby Changing facilities are available in both toilets. Please take soiled nappies home with you.

First-Aid – a first aid box is available in the kitchen adjacent to the boiler. Please follow the

Health & Safety guidelines for reporting an accident.

Smoking is not permitted in the Parish Room.

A notice board is available for use by regular hirers, if required. Please discuss with the Parish

Administrator. Please do not ‘blue-tak’, pin or sellotape notices/decorations etc. to the walls.

Before leaving, please,

● Check that the glass cooker cover is closed. This ensures that the gas supply is cut off

should one of the rings have inadvertently been left on.

● Make sure all lights are turned off, including those in the toilets, and that windows are

closed.

● Replace the chairs on the trolleys provided.

● Remove all rubbish - If the rubbish bins become full, please remove to the bins at the

bottom of the sloping path. Bin liners are kept in a drawer in the kitchen.

● Please check that premises, including cloakrooms, are fully vacated before locking up.
 

PLEASE LEAVE THE FACILITIES IN THE CONDITION YOU FOUND THEM IN.
