ACTION IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE - Please see the notice in the foyer for instructions. The telephone in the teaching room may be used to dial 999. Although mobile telephone service in Llanishen can be patchy, a signal can usually be obtained outside the building on the lawned area. Fire extinguishers are provided in all rooms and the building is equipped with a smoke alarm system. Fire exits are clearly marked.he Hall / Y Neuadd, Llanishen was opened to the public in 2004. It replaced an old corrugated-iron building, which had been in existence since 1923. This had served the area well, but had sadly seen better days and unfortunately could not be refurbished, therefore it was decided to build a new hall for a new century, capable of evolving to suit the communities needs long into the future.

BOUNCY CASTLE & SOFT PLAY - The bouncy castle is for the use of children only! All footwear must be removed while using the bouncy castle. No food or drink is to be consumed on the soft-play area or on the bouncy castle - please use the meeting room or teaching room for eating and drinking.

ELECTRICITY - The main light switch panel and the electricity supply switch panel are situated in the small cupboard in the foyer, next to the gents' toilet. The kitchen, conference room and teaching room all have their own separate light switches. Please ensure that only those lights you actually need are switched on, and are switched off again after use. The "outside lights over-ride" switch should be left off in normal circumstances, as the outside lights are controlled by movement-sensors and will go on and off automatically, as required. In the event of a power failure, automatic emergency lights will switch themselves on. Should this happen in the hours of darkness, you may wish to temporarily curtail your activity or perhaps to leave the building until power is restored.

HEATING - The under-floor heating system is thermostatically controlled and is not user-adjustable. In the event of the hall being too cold (or hot!) please call 01600 860790 or 01600 860560 for assistance.

THE STAGE & BALCONY - Children are not allowed on the stage unless they are performing in an authorised production or rehearsal and are supervised at all times by an adult. The balcony area is not a public area and must not be used for any purpose without the prior permission of a committee member.

CAR PARKING - Please park in the marked bays and keep the access road at the rear of the hall clear at all times - this is an access route for Welsh Water to their treatment works on the field and may be needed at any time. Parking is at your own risk. The committee reserves the right to close the car park at any time and to arrange for removal of abandoned or unlicensed vehicles.

SECURITY - The fire-exit double doors at either side of the building are secured with cable-locks when the hall is not in use. Please ensure that the locks are removed from the doors when you arrive, and replace them upon leaving the building. Please close all windows and doors securely before you leave the building.

TOILETS - Please do not put nappies or similar objects down the hall toilets, as these can block the drains. Please take such items home with you. We have had to pay for drains to be cleared recently because of blocked toilets. Also, if you are in charge of children, please make occasional checks on their use of the toilets and ensure that cisterns are flushed after use. Our drainage contractor has told us that it is apparently a common "game" amongst some children to put whole toilet-rolls down toilets - this keeps him in business, which we would rather not give him!

TERMS OF HIRE - All hiring's are subject to our terms and conditions, a copy of which is displayed on the notice board in the foyer. The committee may refuse or cancel bookings and ask for deposits where deemed appropriate. Charges will be made for cancelled bookings. Hirers will be held responsible and charged for anything broken, damaged, defaced or missing after their hire period and deposits will be forfeited to the amount of the cost of repair or replacement.

MUSIC - The hall is licensed by the Local Authority for "music, singing, dancing and entertainment of the like kind". A summary of the premises licence is displayed on the notice board in the foyer. The licensed activities may only take place during the hours shown on the licence summary. The hall is also licensed by The Performing Right Society for the playing of live and recorded music during licensed hours.

ALCOHOL - Our premises licence permits the retail sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises during the times shown on the licence. A summary of the licence is displayed in the foyer. If you would like us to run a cash bar for your event, please state your requirements when booking (extra charge applies - see hire rates). You should note that it is illegal to sell or give alcohol to anyone under the age of 18 years. Because of this, we will not provide bar facilities for events where the attendees are predominantly under 18 years of age.

SMOKING - Smoking is prohibited inside the hall building by law.
