GUIDANCE NOTES AND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF HIRE
The Centre aims to be a place of hospitality and to welcome all those who make a contribution to the life of our community. However we reserve the right to refuse bookings which do not accord with our charitable aims and our beliefs as a Christian Centre.
We want you to enjoy using the Christ Church Centre, but would ask you to be mindful that:
-
we expect you to leave the building in the same condition that you found it. Our charges are calculated to include only routine cleaning and servicing. Please make sure that all rubbish is removed from the Centre when you leave, including bottles, boxes, etc. If the Christ Church Centre has to pay for extra cleaning or rubbish clearing, an additional charge will be payable.
-
you should allow time for setting up and clearing away within the times you state on the hiring agreement.
-
the finishing time stated on the hiring agreement is the time at which you and all members of your party should vacate the premises. This includes the car park and grounds so that the Christ Church Centre may preserve good relations with its neighbours. Running late causes problems and may involve extra cost.
We want to keep all our premises in the best possible condition for the benefit of the local and Church community, and to avoid inconveniencing our neighbours.
