Some ground rules for the external use of  St. Mary’s Hall 

1. Events in the Hall can only take place from 1pm-10pm.
2. Hall is closed to non-parish activities on Sundays.
3. Anyone outside the parish community applying to use the hall must present a request in writing to the Parish Priest (largs@gallowaydiocese.org.uk) at least 30 days prior to the date on which they wish to use it, or to commence using it (if regular usage is requested). A brief explanation of the nature and purpose of the activity should be given. The hours for which the hall is requested must be provided.
4. If the Parish Priest gives his approval, the applicant will then be referred to the Hall Safeguarding Manager by the Hall Administrator, if the activity involves children or vulnerable adults. If no safeguarding check is required, the applicant will be referred by the Administrator to the Parish Hall Keeper for a health and safety check, then the Hall Administrator, or in her absence, the Parish Priest, will sign the agreement for usage along with the applicant.
5. Insurance. A copy of the Church Public Liability Insurance is displayed on the noticeboard of the entrance foyer. Please note that this only covers Church personnel and property. It does not cover others users of their property. The applicant must ensure that Public Liability is covered by their own insurance.
