3. Bookings cannot be made for a date in advance of 12 months. If made, bookings will be declined but details held until the date which is 12 months before the date of arrival. Your booking will then be confirmed unless several clubs have asked for the same date, in which case a draw will be made by an independent person. In practice this only applies to bookings in May and June.
4. Maximum stay is 8 days. In May and June preference is given to clubs booking full weeks.
5. Fees are currently £20 (18 years or over) £10 (under 18s) per night. These will rise from 1 January 2024 to £22/£11.

7. The person making the booking as in 1. above is responsible for ensuring that all members of their group comply fully with these terms and conditions and also to any additional instructions/rules, including those on cleaning prior to departure, as given by the bookings secretary and/or displayed in the hut.

12. Membership number, either individual or club, should be quoted on booking and in the register in the hut. The register in the hut should be signed on arrival with dates of stay and membership number. This is also important for allowing a roll call in the event of a fire.

16. No camping (including the use of campervans) in hut grounds.
17. Park in car park if possible and please try to minimise the number of cars per group. Do not park in such a way as to block access in/up and down the road for emergency vehicles. Ensure gate is shut as cattle and sheep may get in.
18. Electric car, e-bike etc charging: We currently have no facility for charging electric cars, e-bikes etc. For safety reasons and because of the potential for overheating/fire risk you must not attempt to charge an electric car, e-bike etc by running cables from the hut to the outside nor charge nor store e-bike etc batteries inside nor under the wooden porch area. We are investigating the installation of a proper charging point. Meantime please make alternative arrangements.
