Unlike the Common Room refreshments, some smoking is permitted in part of the Galleon Lounge. It is staffed by volunteers. Opening times are subject to availability of volunteers and what is happening at the Centre. For information on special service for functions, please enquire at the Centre Office. Volunteer stewards are always required. Full training given. Names to the Centre Office, please. |

| Car
Parking The Community Centre car parks, which can accommodate about 60 cars, may be used only by cars which display the current season's car park permit. Parking permits are issued to Association members on payment of an £8.00 fee in addition to their annual membership subscription. All users of the car parks are reminded that the Association cannot be held responsible for any injury, loss or damage arising from such use. |

Toilets
for the Disabled and Baby Change Facilities |
|
| Lift The Centre is fortunate in having a lift (donated by The Chest, Heart & Stroke Association) that enables the disabled and others who are unable to use the stairs to get to the upper floor. The lift is key operated, so users need to borrow a key from Reception on arrival and return it upon departure. The Office holds a number of keys so enabling a number of people to have access to the lift. Any member of the staff will be pleased to show potential users where the lift is located and how to operate it. |
|
| Induction
loop for the Hard of Hearing Most of the Centre's larger rooms are equipped with an Induction Loop/PA System, which is of considerable value to the hard of hearing. This equipment is available free of charge but must be booked well in advance of meeting dates. |
