The key is to be returned to the same address on the same day of use.

2.4    The Hirer shall pay a deposit of £10.00 for the MUGA key when payment for the hire of facility is made. No unauthorised copies of the key are to be made, and the Hirer is to ensure the safe custody and return of the key on the same day of use. The deposit will not be refunded in the event of the loss of the key. In the event of a key being lost, notification must be given to the Parish Council at the earliest opportunity.

2.5    All Hirers will be required to give a minimum of 24 hours notice to cancel their booking or they will be charged as normal.
