Conditions of Hire 2024

​

Please read these booking instructions carefully before you hire the hall.

Full conditions of hire can be found here

​

The main hall is available for hire at very competitive rates (see below). 

There is ample car parking (at the owner's risk) and bar facilities are available if desired.

A kitchen is also provided for those who hire the main Hall. 

A small meeting room is available for separate hire.

 

The main hall measures 18 metres long by 11 metres wide, min height 3.5m, apex 4.25m. and 200 seats can be accommodated. 

Bouncy castles less than 3.2m high may be accommodated at the far end of the hall or just outside the end doors on the small triangle of land. We must advise you that we do not have insurance for Bouncy Castles and Inflatable devices.

We need to see and retain proof of valid insurance from the hirer of the equipment.

We also need to ensure that any relevant conditions of the hirer's/provider's insurance are adhered to.

 

So this means, assuming you are the hirer, that you need to have your own insurance and adhere to any conditions that might come with that and we need to have proof that is the case.

This should be common knowledge to the equipment provider and it may be that you have already arranged but we do need to see that proof.

It may be that you have hired with inclusion of insurance and supervision by the supplier which would be ideal, if not then we could be in a troubling position.

 

Without meeting the above conditions then I am afraid we cannot allow Bouncy Castles and Inflatable devices on FLGCA premises, either inside or outside.

 

If the main hall is too big for your requirements it can still be sub-divided into two smaller rooms using the dividers.

 

To hire the facilities, use the instructions below, if you need help please ring us on 07932 141405 or email here.

• We have a wonderful community hall, it should be found and left as shown with all tables put away, and chairs in rows around the walls.

• Currently we do not hire out the field due to clashes with fixtures for the resident football and cricket teams.
