The Society of Friends, more usually known as “the Quakers” is a religious body concerned that its premises should be used for the good of the community at large. It welcomes all that are engaged in worthwhile activities, especially those that are charitable or philanthropic. It does
not concern itself with the beliefs, religious or otherwise, of those who use its premises, though it does not accept bookings from organisations with objectives directly opposed to its own. In the case of new users, unless the objectives are obvious, it asks for a letter setting out the aims of the
organisation and explaining what it wishes to do in the premises. The Meeting House is not available for party political or commercial activities, nor may it be used to further antagonism towards any other group.


Existing hirers, please note: for the first time in five years we are raising the room hiring fees. This is by an amount that is less than inflation, and will start on 1st January 2012.
