Hall booking online

Hello everyone,

You can now view availability and book the halls on the website. The booking form is very similar to the paper forms you could get from the bar.

Select either the Large Hall or Small Hall booking button at the bottom of the Our Halls page (https://sighthillbc.co.uk/our-halls/)
You must be logged into the website to be able to view the booking form.
From there you will see the form and the calendar which displays the halls availability for all dates.
The colour guides represent the availability of the date as follows:

Blue: Selected date
Red: Fully booked on that day
Yellow: Limited availability
White: Available

As always payment must be made before your booking can be approved. Payment can be by any credit/debit card and the transaction is encrypted and secured using PayPal.
Cash payments need to be paid and booked at the bar.
All bookings are pending approval until we can confirm that the details you have given meet the criteria for booking the halls (certain birthdays and football related events are not permitted).

You will receive emails updating your booking as it is processed.

New year reminder

This is to remind members that they have to purchase their tickets for the Hogmanay Party before Sunday 18th December. Afterwards any remaining tickets will be put on general sale for any family and friends of members to purchase.

Committee news

Quick update after the Committee Meeting last night.

With Connie Reynolds moving to her new venture and Claire Marshall also leaving for her new venture there has been some uncertainty within the Club regarding what is going to happen regarding the bar.

I’m happy to let you know that Willie Edgar will be staying as Bar Manager.

We also welcome Lindsey Weston back to the Club who will be Willie’s deputy.

Staff who are interested along with Linda Eddington, Liz Pratt and myself will be getting training on the many behind the scenes activities of the bar so that when Willie retires or is on holiday we have bodies to step up and carry out the duties.

I hope you agree that this is great news for the Club.
