must be paid at least 28 days prior to the commencement of the booking.

then be made at least 28 days before the next date. No transfer of dates
is allowed except if they are more than 6 months in advance or unless
the room(s) can be re-let.
Cancellations:
Cancellation of a hiring will only be acceptable in writing to the Manager.

re-let. If the room is not re-let than 30% of the total hire fee will
be charged. In all cases the deposit will be retained.

payable are those in force at the date of the event for which the accommodation
is hired. Hire fees are revised on 1 April each year.
- Hirers are reminded that hire fees are calculated on an hourly basis
and that part hours are charged as full hours.
- Any hiring which exceeds the pre-booked time of finishing render
the Hirer liable to pay additional fees in respect of the extra time
involved.

the premises are vacated by the Hirer.
- Smoking is not permitted at any time.
