Hirer responsibilities
The hirer must be a responsible adult who will look after the hall, its contents and the safe use of the car park and will indemnify the Committee for the cost of any damage to the building or contents, incurred during the period of hire or as a result of the hiring.
It is the responsibility of the hirer to carry out their own risk assessment and to advise the Committee of any hazards. The Committee has carried out a comprehensive risk assessment and has made all the necessary changes to adhere to the advice of the WRCC.
The hirer will not use the premises for any purpose other than that described on the Booking Form.
The hirer must read the notice on the board in the foyer showing emergency exits and the location of the fire extinguishers.
The hirer agrees not to adjust the heating controls.
We recommend that all hirers follow Government advice and “make informed decisions and act carefully and proportionally to manage risk to themselves and others”.
Keys
There are 3 key safes – one for the front door, one for the accessible entrance and one for the side kitchen door. The code for all three is the same and will be given to you near the date of your hire.
Rubbish
As a result of the new collection schedule introduced by Warwick District Council, as well as problems with the collection of our bins when rubbish is placed in the incorrect bin, we are having to ask hirers to please take their rubbish home with them.
Cinema Equipment
The hirer must also take full responsibility for the safe and careful handling of the cinema equipment and will indemnify the Committee for the cost of any damage to the cinema equipment. There is a Sound system for the use of hirers. Please request full instructions.
Non Smoking Policy
The hirer must ensure that all people using the hall comply with the prohibition of smoking in public places provisions of the Health Act 2006. There is no smoking in ANY of the indoor OR outdoor areas of the Hall property.
Insurance
For insurance purposes, the use of candles is allowed for celebration cakes but must not, at any time, be left unattended. Please undertake your own risk assessment before lighting such candles. If there is an accident due to hirer negligence a claim will be made against the hirer.
Cancellation Policy
The Committee reserves the right to cancel the hiring in the event of the hall being required for use as a polling station for a parliamentary election, by-election, local Government election or Government business.
We require at least 2 weeks’ notice for any cancellation.
Parking
There is parking space outside the hall. If you do need to park in the road, please make sure that you are not obstructing the visibility of drivers on the road (by parking only on the same side as the hall). Please do not park in front of the driveways or on the grass verges in front of the gardens of local residents. Cars are welcome to park alongside the Green and people walk down to the hall.
ONGOING COVID GUIDELINES:
- Please take all sensible precautions with regard to cleaning the hall before and after use.
- Please encourage people with symptoms not to attend your activities.
Enjoy using the Village Hall space and take care
