From Deb:
We have been working closely with Archbishop Magrath School over the last week or so to try and resolve an issue with exams desks during the school exam period. Currently Archbishop McGrath school do not have the resources to take down and set up the 140 exam desks which are required for their winter exams.

In talks with the new head teacher, we have made it clear that the dual use service requires the use of the sports hall and studio for community activity from 5:00pm onwards. However as a service we are also unable to provide enough support to enable the desks to be moved on this occasion.

We have looked across our other dual use sites to offer a relocation where we can, free of charge (this may be a slightly different time slot). We understand this is not ideal for all clubs/bookings and we have agreed with the school that this will be the only time we will cancel community bookings related to exams due to the circumstance. All clubs/bookings affected will receive two weeks free of facility hire in January 2023.

Once again we apologise for the short notice and the disruption to your club/community sessions.

Dates affected: 8th and 12th December 2022
