Clubhouse Hire
Our clubhouse is available for hire to both members and non-members. The maximum number of people we can accommodate in the clubhouse is 60, if you expect more than this at any one time then we are unable to agree to the hire request. Rates for hire at present (Feb 2023) are as follows: -
Full members who are also participating (see below) club members: £12.50 per hour.
Non-participating full club members, social members or Non-members: £30 per hour
We also require the hirer to provide a damage deposit regardless if they are a club member or not. This deposit is fully refundable at the end of the hire period providing there is no damage (physical, stains etc.). Should there be damage of any kind or the clubhouse is not left clean and tidy then the refund will be held back until the damage has been repaired or cleaned and that cost will be taken out of the deposit. The deposit should be in the form of cash or a fully completed (and signed) cheque. The deposit for a club member is £200, for a non-member it is £300.
A "full participating member" is any full member who also participates in the sporting activities of the club (e.g. playing, coaching, being a match official, first aider, equipment maintainer or being an officer of the club) for at least 12 days per year AND has been a participating member for at least one year.
Our clubhouse is NOT available for hire to under-21 birthday parties (except if there is parental supervision) due to the problem of policing under-age drinking nor is it available for religious festivals, celebrations or meetings. If the hirer is not a club keyholder then the hire time includes any set-up time (e.g. if the actual hire time is 7pm-11pm (4 hours) but the hirer wants 2 hour prior to setup then the total hire time is 6 hours).
Our bar can be included at no additional cost and is compulsory if alcoholic beverages are to be consumed on the premises. We do not permit persons hiring to bring their own alcohol (including low alcohol) nor do we, at present, support a corkage fee. Non-alcoholic beverages may however be brought by the hirer or are available from the bar. If the hirer has specific requests then please discuss these with our bar manager, we will try to accommodate these requests but cannot guarantee that these will be possible.
Our bar license runs from midday to 11pm; an extension until midnight can be requested for an additional charge as is enforced by the local licensing authority at the time of hire (currently £21). Application for this is on our clubhouse hire form and will be added to the hire fee.
