If you are the last one here and the next hirer has not turned up yet, please lock the main gate at the end of the drive on your way out. This MUST be done if you are the last one out at the end of an evening.

Shut down procedures:
1. Make sure both doors are shut – double doors to menage and green main door.
2. Turn off the kettle, lights and any other electrical equipment.
3. Lock main gate with padlock.
