St Joseph\'s Hall <\/span>Booking<\/span> Policy<\/span><\/div>

 <\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

There has been a dramatic increase in the use of St. Joseph\'s Hall which has created issues for the booking schedule and the maintenance of the Hall. This policy aims to ensure that the Hall runs smoothly allowing groups and individuals who wish to use St Joseph\'s Hall to do so. The Hall Committee hopes for as many groups as possible to use the Hall. However, with increased bookings a willingness by all groups to accommodate one another is essential if the Hall is to function successfully for those involved.<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
The Booking Policy consists of Booking Guidelines and the Booking Procedure.<\/span><\/div>

Booking Guidelines<\/span><\/div>

 <\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

1.<\/span> The Committee values the commitment of those groups and individuals who have used the Hall for many years and hopes to ensure their continued use of the Hall. These groups are also asked to recognise the need for some flexibility in their booking to ensure that the Hall runs smoothly.<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
2.<\/span> As the Hall is a Parish Hall priority will be given to individual Parish events and recognised Parish groups in booking the Hall. As a consequence the Hall Committee reserves the right to cancel bookings already made with others even at short notice.<\/span><\/div><\/span>

<\/span><\/div>
3.<\/span> All groups who use the Hall must provide their own Safeguarding Policy. The supervision of children and vulnerable adults both in the Hall, in the grounds of the Hall and the Church grounds is the responsibility of the group or individual who has booked the Hall.<\/span><\/div><\/span>

<\/span><\/div>
4.<\/span> All groups using the Hall must ensure that they have own Public Liability Insurance cover and provide a copy of this when booking the Hall. The Booking Committee will provide authorisation for the use of the Hall up to the date of the expiry of the insurance. If the Hall is required beyond that date a new certificate of insurance must be submitted.<\/span><\/div><\/span>

<\/span><\/div>
5.<\/span> Groups are expected to respect the fabric and facilities in the Hall. In particular groups are asked to take care in the preparation of sets and props for shows. The painting of sets except for the backdrop will not be allowed in the Hall. The Hall and the stage are to be left free after rehearsal times so that other groups can use the Hall. Groups should leave the Hall as it has been found. Any damage of Hall property by a group or individual members associated with the group the person who has booked the Hall is liable for full payment of this damage.<\/span><\/div><\/span>

<\/span><\/div>
6.<\/span> Conscious of the impact on the Booking Schedule of extended periods of rehearsals for shows the Hall Committee will allow no longer than ten sessions for rehearsals.<\/span><\/div><\/span>

<\/span><\/div>
7.<\/span> The Hall Caretaker is tasked with implementing the decisions of the Booking Committee and the Hall Committee and is their representative in the Hall. All are asked to work with the caretaker and respect his decisions on the day to day running of the hall. The Caretaker will make bookings for small events such as funeral lunches, or birthday parties. The Caretaker will inform the Booking Committee at their next meeting of these decisions. In the event of any individual or group having an issue with the caretaker this is to be submitted in writing to the Hall Committee.<\/span><\/div>
