Attendance Record
It is the responsibility of the Events organisers to know exactly who is attending the event and gather information such as name and contact details, and hold and destroy these in compliance with the GDPR regulations (currently destroy 21 days after the event).
Out of Hours Bookings
We will always try to find suitable rooms within the regular opening hours of our buildings.
In the event that a request is made for space outside of opening hours, charges will be levied to the Society Contact in order to meet the resulting costs, which will include a £20 admin fee. In these instances, we will outline the cost before proceeding and invoice the Society Treasurer following the event.
Please note, we have limited space available at the weekend.
Prior Notice
Timetabling recommends that single-day requests are made at least 2 working days in advance. Requests made up to 24-hours from the intended event may not be picked-up and this is therefore discouraged.
