At the end of your hiring please leave the premises as clean and tidy as you would wish to find it. The hall is run by a small group of volunteers who try to maintain the hall for the whole community at a minimal cost.

Brooms and an excellent new mop and wheeled bucket, with floor cleaner (a “glug” per bucket of warm water) are to be found in the locked janitors (key supplied) cupboard just inside the main hall on the right. Other cleaning materials are in the cupboard beneath and to the right of the kitchen sink.

Before you leave please attend to the following items.

• Kitchen
  • Sweep and damp-mop the floor, wipe surfaces and clean the sink
  • Empty bins and take away the rubbish – the dustman does not collect from the hall
  • Wash and dry all utensils, crockery etc. and put away neatly
• Entrance Hall and Main Hall
  • Tidy and remove litter
  • Sweep/vacuum floor and damp mop any dirty marks you may leave
  • Ensure chairs are safely stacked (max 6 per stack) and tables stowed in the large rear store
  • Leave curtains open
• Storeroom
  • Ensure chairs and tables safely stacked
• Toilets
  • Flush WC’s
  • Remove litter from bins
  • Sweep and damp mop floors
• Exterior and Garden
  • Please check for litter that may have been left as a result of your hiring

And finally:

• Please ensure that lights and taps are all switched off
• The heating is off or thermostat down (10ºC in winter)
• All doors and windows are closed and locked

If these requirements are not complied with the trustees reserve the right to make necessary deductions from your deposit:

• Extra cleaning-as required minimum £20
• Lights left on £20
• Heating left on £20
• Rubbish not removed £20
• Taps left on £10

Please let us know straight away of any accidents or breakages or if the hall was not clean on your arrival.

THANK YOU – IT REALLY HELPS IF EVERYONE DOES THEIR BIT!
