Hirers are reminded that it is their responsibility to ensure that our conditions of hiring are made known to anyone that they employ for or to whom they delegate arrangements for their event e.g. Disco, party/wedding planner or similar.

The hirer remains responsible for ensuring that such employees / delegates comply with our conditions of hiring.

Hirers are also reminded of their responsibility to ensure that noise levels do not exceed the maxima detailed in our Conditions of Hiring. Failure to do so may result in retention of all or part of the security deposit.

Ringshall Village Hall is licenced for the sale of alcohol and we have a well stocked bar.

(please note that the sale of alcohol by the hirer or other parties is not permitted.)

We accept that hirers may wish to provide their own drinks for toasts and to welcome guests to their event however for other alcoholic drinks we would expect hirers to patronise our bar.  (income from the bar is a valuable contribution to our funds, which are needed to operate and maintain the village hall).

Hirers are reminded that when the village hall bar is open it is not permitted for hirers own alcoholic drinks to be consumed. Only drinks purchased from the village hall bar may be consumed.

It is the hirers responsibility to ensure that their guests comply with the above.
In the event that alcoholic drinks not bought from the village hall bar are consumed the hirer will forfeit part or all of their security deposit in lieu of corkage.

For the avoidance of doubt our policy is not negotiable and will be enforced. Our decision will be final.

Users of our hall should be aware that the only way to control the air conditioning is by means of the controllers situated near the doors.  Individual units must not be switched off.  This will cause an error condition and will prevent the system from operating.  Additionally an engineer's visit may be necessary to reset the system and for this a £200.00 call out fee will be charged to the hirer of the hall.
