Booking Heritage Hall

Regular Users

Local Organisations wishing to use the Heritage Hall  on a regular basis should write, or e-mail  stating the day(s) and time(s)  you would like to book.  If you are considering a long-term let we would ask your organisation to nominate a key-holder, over 18,  who will be fully responsible for the Hall during your use. We would ask that this nominated person makes sure that lights and heaters in the hall are switched off  before you leave and that the building is properly secured on departure.

 

Particular Dates

If you are making an individual booking, perhaps for only one or two evenings, please call and we can check the Hall Diary for you to see if your date is available. You can call 732701 to speak to John.  If you are leaving a message on Centre answering machine (739739) please be sure to leave your contact name and number.

 

Rules

  • We hope that you will enjoy the use of the Hall- it is for the use of all the community- so please leave it at you would hope to find it on your next visit.
  • Please make sure that any activities in the Hall are properly supervised at all times.
  • The Hall is not suitable for indoor games of football, cycling, skate-boarding – so please don’t!
  • Likewise smoking, gambling, alcohol (or any other anti-social habits you may have)  will not be looked on favourably.
  • Please try to look after the fixtures and fittings. W e know they are not much- but they are all we have for the moment. Your donations will help to refurbish and replace equipment for your use and for others. So, if you break a cup – bring us a new one on your next visit!
  • There is a book in the kitchen area for you to note any faults or comments- light bulbs needed, no loo paper, no water etc. We will try to rectify any problems as soon as possible- if you let us know about them.
  •  We will require a deposit of £5 for key-holders (this will be refunded when you return the key at the end of your let). Replacement, or lost, keys will have to be charged for.

Hello - Is this the only way to e-mail you?
I wish to pay for a gift membership for John Kennerty Snr. (known as Jack). On 24 November 2011 I arranged a visit with them to see their roots in Culter which included an arranged visit to the Heritage Centre. I helped them trace their family in Culter back to mid 15th century, but do not think there is any Kennerty family left in Scotland.
I would like to arrange and pay online - can this be done please?
Thanks - Eleanore McKay, Cults.
