When you have finished, make sure you leave the kitchen clean, dry and ready for the next user. The Hall does not have a general rubbish collection, so please take your bottles, cans and other rubbish away with you.
When playing a football match, one person (usually from the home team) will be given a key to the outer doors of the changing area. That person is then responsible for the security of the changing rooms and everything in them during the match and until the changing rooms are vacated at the end of the hiring.
If the changing rooms and showers are included in the hire, then one person will be given a key and must take responsibility for the security of everything in there during the hiring.
Football boots should be removed before entering the building and not washed anywhere in the building. The changing rooms and showers should be left as clean and tidy as possible, and you should take any rubbish home with you.
