Common use of Private Parties Clause in Contracts

Private Parties. 7.1 A ‘private party’ is defined as an occasion not connected to a church event or service. It will usually be a party that has been booked by someone who is not a member of the church congregation and in these circumstances might therefore include, for example, a business meeting or funeral reception. If a reception is being held following the funeral/dedication/marriage or other service held for a church member, or the spouse or child of a church member, with church members in attendance, then this would not usually be considered a ‘private party’. 7.2 A deposit of £200 is required, payable in advance. This will be refunded on confirmation by a representative of High Street Baptist Church that no damage has occurred. 7.3 No alcohol is permitted at private parties on church premises. For other events (that are not defined as private parties), interval drinks, for example, may be served in the church hall (see paras 6.6 and 7.1 above). If you intend to serve alcohol at your event, please discuss your plans with the Church Administrator to get approval. 7.4 There must be a minimum of 2 adults (over 21) in full-time attendance for children’s and young people’s parties. There must be at least 1 adult for every 8 children aged 4 and over and the ratio must be at least 1 in 4 for children aged 3 and under. 7.5 The use of ‘bouncy castles’, or similar inflatables, is prohibited on our premises. 7.6 The use of smoke machines is prohibited on our premises.
