AV Equipment
The AV cupboard is in the main hall. There’s a video showing how to connect to the Bluetooth or connect an iPod, phone, or similar device to the sound system here. The lead marked with red tape is the one to use to plug into the headphone socket of your phone or ipod. Control the volume via your device.
Detailed step by step instructions on how to use the projector are hung inside the door of the AV cupboard.
Please do not move or re-arrange the cables for the AV equipment or projector as this will mean the equipment will not work for the next hirer.
Heating
The overhead heaters around the balcony heat the hall rapidly and are energy efficient. Turn them on using the remotes (in a box to your right as you enter the main hall). There are 3 heat settings.
There are wall heaters but they cost £10 an hour to run so please only use them if the overhead heaters don’t provide enough heat. The switches are labelled with signs. They’re in the Committee Room on the side of the wall near the entrance to the ladies’ toilets. Flip the switches to turn them on. See photos below.
If the wall heaters don’t work check they are switched on at the wall socket above and on the heater itself and that the temperature setting hasn’t been turned down too low.
Lighting
The main lighting switches are in the Committee Room on the same side of the wall near the ladies’ toilets (see photo below). Each switch is labelled.
The fairy lights on the balcony and festoon lights work via a remote switch. There’s a video showing how to turn on the festoon lights here.

The dishwasher must be turned on about half an hour before you want to use it (it heats up the water). Once it’s ready the washing cycle takes between 1 and 3 minutes depending on the setting selected. You don’t need to add salt or detergent (we keep it topped up with commercial detergent & it lasts a long time). If you haven’t used a commercial dishwasher before we’ll need to show you have to use it before your event.
Here’s a link to the short dishwasher manual. There’s a video showing how to turn the dishwasher on here. This is the dishwasher:
