You, the hirer, will be responsible for ensuring those attending your activity or event comply with the COVID-19 Guidelines while entering and occupying the Centre.

1. You must not enter if you or anyone in your household has COVID-19 symptoms. 
2. If you develop COVID-19 symptoms within 7 days of visiting these premises alert Test, Track and Trace. Alert the booking team on [email protected] and alert the organiser of the activity you attended. 
3. Maintain 2 metres social distancing when possible: Observe a one-way system to reduce risk. 
4. Use the hand sanitiser provided on entering the premises. Clean your hands often. Hand-sanitiser provided.
5. Avoid touching your face, nose, or eyes. Clean your hands if you do. 
6. “Catch it, Bin it, Kill it”. Tissues should be disposed of into rubbish bags. Then wash your hands. 
7. Check the organisers of your activity have cleaned door handles, tables, other equipment, sinks and surfaces before you arrived. Keep them clean. We cannot ensure all surfaces at the Centre are cleaned between each hire. 
8. Take turns to use confined spaces such as corridors, kitchen and toilet areas. Standing or sitting next to someone is lower risk than opposite them. Briefly passing another person in a confined space is low risk. 
9. Keep the Centre well ventilated. Close doors and windows on leaving.

* Touch points – Door handles, light switches, window catches, toilet handles and seats, wash basins, kitchen sinks, water kettles.

We will have the right to close the hall if there are safety concerns relating to COVID-19, for example, if someone who has attended the hall develops symptoms and thorough cleansing is required or if it is reported that the conditions above are not being complied with, whether by you, your attendees or by other hirers, or in the event that public buildings are asked or required to close again. If this is necessary, we will do our best to inform you promptly and you will not be charged for this hire.
