Booking Officer. The premises must be vacated by 11 pm at the latest.

4.    Bookings can only be made up to a maximum of 3 monthly blocks. It will be necessary to reapply after
each 3 month period.

5.    Payment must be made, in the manner stipulated, at the conclusion of the booking, unless prior
arrangement has been made with the Management Committee.

6.    The Centre is to be left in a clean and tidy condition. Any additional cleaning necessary will result in an
extra charge being levied.

7.    Only one large bin bag of rubbish may be left in the Centre after use. Any extra rubbish must be
disposed of by the hirer.

8.    No perishable items are to be left in the fridge after the end of the hire period.

10.   At no time during the booking must the Centre be left unattended. Any damage or loss or damage
occurring as a result of non-compliance will result in an extra charge being levied.

11.   You have booked the Centre and not the church grounds. Please do not use the grounds next to the
church – this is a Garden of Remembrance and Holy Ground where the ashes of the dead are buried. It must
be respected and is not to be walked upon.

12.   Cars are not to be brought on to the church grounds. Hirers of the Centre are asked to park their cars
with respect to the needs of local residents on Hamilton Road and St Agnes’ Road. Wheelchair access to the
Centre is via the church and prior arrangement should be made with the booking officer for car access to the
church entrance.

13. Child Protection. St Agnes’ Parochial Church Council is responsible for ensuring all users of the Centre
are aware of the need for them to have a Child Protection Policy (if applicable). For more information please
read these
guidelines or contact the Chair of the Management Committee.

14. Insurance. The insurance of the Community Centre covers the building and fittings. It does not cover the
activities that you organise. If you are inviting members of the public to any event in which games or other
activities take place we advise you to obtain Public Liability Insurance for your event.
