Hi,

Does anybody know where I can hire a free room for a charity event?

Do you want the room Free or to Hire? there is a difference!

FOR FREE.

Sorry. I knew someone would point that out.

Ask the RNA stewardess in Park Road East. Don't know what their policy is but it's worth a try.

What size.capacity are you after, and what area? What sort of charity is the event supporting?

It's a Pamper day for Mums & Friends who have been victims of still birth & neonatal deaths, I am planning on having up to 10 stalls and to offer sample beauty treatments & a make up consultant from local businesses. Looking for a place that will hold up to 100 people.

Aha right, on the site where im based we have large facilities for provision of things like this, we currently hire out to services like slimming world etc, and with it being health-related the exec probably would have gone for it; but atm over half of the community facility area is undergoing refurbishment/building work, so im not sure it would be very comfortable to hold 100 people at present.

Ill have a word with the exec and see what the legal capacity is of the current available space and insurance status for charitable events, as he loves supporting anything health-related - he's a doctor lol. If you get stuck, im sure he would love to help if at all possible.

Would it be on a weekday or a weekend, if the latter, it expands the options a bit further.

Looking at a Saturday Day, or if not a Friday

Thanks Matt

Hi,

Had a word with the manager, she is sayiong insurance will only cover for about 120 at full capacity, but is likely to be 40 - 50 at present.

She said if you get really stuck, she can see if she will sort something. Once you have sorted, she said you are more than welcome to pass some leaflets into the surgery or onto me, and she will place them in the public reception area's (think she was quite interested in popping along herself lol).

Thanks Matt,

Please could you PM the details! I have got alot to sort out,
Im planning it for August 13th 2011

Sure, will pop a PM shortly.
