15. Kitchen Use
There will be no charge for the use of the kitchen for serving refreshments to the hiring organisations own members provided that they supply their own provisions, serve themselves and leave the kitchen in clean and tidy state. The Town Council reserves the right to make an additional charge if these conditions are not met.
Any organisation using the kitchen or its equipment for fundraising or where they are charging the public for refreshments will pay for the use of the kitchen. A charge will also be made where exclusive use of the kitchen is required for full catering purposes.
Children are strictly forbidden to access within the kitchen area.
16. Cancellations
The Town Council reserves the right to cancel the hiring in the event of: -
- The premises being required for use as Polling Station for a Parliamentary or Local Government Election or By-Election
- The Town Council reasonably consider that such hiring will be in breach of licensing conditions or other legal statutory requirements, or that unlawful or unsuitable activities will take place at the premises as a result of that hiring
- The Hirer failing to provide suitable evidence of a CRB check in the appropriate cases
- The premises becoming unfit for the use intended by the Hirer
- The premises being used for an emergency to accommodate victims
In any such case the Hirer shall be entitled to a refund of any monies already paid for that hiring, but the Town Council shall not be liable to the Hirer for any resulting direct or indirect loss or damages.
A cancellation fee will be payable by the Hirer where the booking is cancelled less than one month before the hire date at a rate of 50% of the booking fee. If a hiring is cancelled less than one week before the hire date the charge will be 100% of the total booking fee.
17. Variation to Rates of Hire
The Town Council reserves the right to increase the rates of hire provided that they give the Hirer one month’s notice in writing.
18. Extension of hire period
We are unable to extend the period of hire, for parties, unless the hirer gives a clear 7 days notice and completes a new booking form complete with payment. Party Hire CANNOT be extended on the day of the event.
19. Alcohol
Alcohol is allowed at the Selsey Centre but it must be for the hirer’s consumption and must not be sold to any other person on site. It also cannot be given to persons under the age of 18. We reserve the right to stop a function or refuse entry if in the opinion of the duty manager or staff, the quantity of alcohol bought to the premises exceeds an appropriate amount for the numbers attending or the type of event taking place. Hirers for community events may apply for a temporary alcohol licence after seeking permission from the Selsey Centre manager.
