IT'S FUNTIME BAD WEATHER POLICY


WE ALWAYS STRONGLY RECOMMEND HIRING AN INDOOR VENUE TO HOST YOUR PARTY AS THE GREAT BRITISH WEATHER IS NEVER GUARANTEED!


Our weather policy is governed by The Health And Safety Executive. We are REQUIRED to use the MET OFFICE official weather forecast ONLY when determining the safety aspects of proceeding with any outdoor hire.


HIGH WINDS


We are legally allowed to set up with GUSTING SPEEDS forecast up to 24 mph per the MET Office forecast. Gusting speeds can be found at www.weather.metoffice.gov.uk. The area circled in red is the gusting speed forecast.





In ALL borderline cases that proceed, we will provide an annometer (wind speed meter) with a check log that MUST be filled out by the customer. The wind speed on such days MUST be measured at every 20 minutes and whenever gusting speeds are obviously increasing. This form has all relevant information on it and must be returned, completed, at the end of the hire (along with the annometer).



In the event of bad weather, our professional decision is FINAL. We will not engage in "weather report" bingo to find a forecast that suits. We MUST use the official Met Office forecast. Abuse aimed towards our employees will not be tolerated.


DEPOSITS


If it is unsafe for your hire to proceed due to weather, you will receive a refund of your deposit.


If it is safe to proceed but YOU decide to cancel, your deposit will be forfeited as we will have held the equipment from other potential customers that may have proceeded.


At our discretion, we may offer an alternative date on the existing deposit within 30 days of the initial hire date.
