The Hirer is responsible for leaving the facilities in good condition, as found. Damages and/or breakages to any item/fabric in the Parish Room must be reported and may be charged for.

The Hirer should not also roll or fold the mats, as this can cause damage. If they are not needed, simply move them to the side.

The Hirer shall ensure that the Television/AV equipment provided is treated with care and used only for the purpose of the booking. The Hirer is responsible for any damage, loss, or theft of the equipment, including damage caused by attendees, and will be liable for the full cost of repair or replacement. The TV must not be moved from its position without prior permission.

 

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.
