It is an ideal venue for children's events (the building and grounds are as safe and secure as we can make them) and parties for adults (yes - alcohol is permitted on the premises, although you must not sell it or charge for it). We have a Public Entertainment Licence for events (although we do ask for music to stop by about 11 pm out or respect for people living within earshot).
Facilities:
- A large main hall with a sprung wooden dance floor; with partition doors halfway through In 2006 we spent a four-figure sum having the entire premises redecorated
- The facilities are cleaned and maintained to a high standard every day of the week
- Central heating throughout, adjustable by thermostat
- Modest but sufficient kitchen facilities: a gas cooker, kettles, assorted crockery and cutlery. At present you need to provide your own glasses for wine and beer - perhaps via the local supermarket free-of-charge hiring scheme?
- The ordinary ladies and gents toilet arrangements; with an additional large facility for those with special needs for extra wide cubicles for wheelchair use, etc. Also an ideal quiet space for nursing mothers who want a bit of privacy
- Tables and chairs are available as you would expect: we can seat about sixty adults, with a total capacity of eighty or so. This is our maximum to comply with fire regulations
- We have a piano which is serviceable
- Feel free to use the internal and external notice boards for publicity for any events you may wish (but no commercial advertisements, please)
We simply ask that you treat the building and contents with respect (not damaging our new redecoration by sticking or tacking anything to the walls; or dragging tables across the polished floors); and leave everything in the condition in which you hope to find it. Just secure the doors and turn the lights off before you leave!
A good venue to run your club:
Have you any particular passion that is unexploited but legal? Have you ever thought about arranging a weekly or monthly meeting for those with the same weird passion?
Bring your own tea and coffee or something more substantial and enjoy yourselves.
