lardylady Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 HELP. We are in a local village hall, where we have been for 4 years. We have been asking for a contract for over a year now so that we can formalise our aggreement with the hall. They have finally come up with a 'regular users contract' which I do not feel covers us very well. They want to put 1months notice either side etc. does any one have a contact that they could show me so that I can explain to them that I need to be treated differently then the gardening club, ballet and WI !!! I will try to post the contract for all to see. Ant suggestions most greatfully received. Lardylady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lardylady Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Yes, she was very unhelpful, she said she couldn't even look at it as it was a legal document !! Very strange she is usually really helpful. Lardylady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hi ....... did you have any luck with finding a suitable contract between you and village hall? Am in same position! Looked at the Pre-School Learning Alliance's which seemed abit complicated and difficult to understand (but I am blond!). Can you let me know how you got on?

dottyp Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 We hire the village hall from Hall Trustees and have done so since 1974. We recently asked for a copy of our lease for our records and they said they had no idea where a copy would be!!! They have not been too helpful over producing a copy or even drawing up a new one! I will however speak to our chair person tomorrow and ask if she did eventually have any joy. If so, I am happy to post it on FSF dottyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I think there is a difference between 1 months notice of unnavailability of hall or 1 months notice of termination of contract, so this isn't very clear. You have funding agreements (NEG) and other types of agreements such as employment contracts etc, and I would assume a terms notice would be more feasible re: terminating hiring contract. Maybe you need to devise your own contract including issues that they may not have mentioned, ie: sole use, no public access during hiring times, responsibility for repairs, H&S, etc etc, plus ideas already mentioned by others. Then ask for a meeting to re-negotiate the agreement. Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
