Meeting Rooms
The Voluntary Services Centre has two meeting rooms for hire: the Mabel Booth Room and the Basement Meeting Room.
The Mabel Booth Room holds a maximum of 70 people, the Basement Meeting Room a maximum of 12 people.
*** NEWS *** The Mabel Booth Room has a new feature:
an interactive whiteboard, or 'SMART Board'. This can be used for
free by any group hiring the room. This is thanks to a grant
from Neighbourhood Learning in Deprived Communities (NLDC).
NB any group using the board for the first time must send a representative
for a half hour of training prior to the meeting.
