Tricky Bits:
Hall Hire Bookings for evening functions are limited to only one booking per week, out of respect for our immediate neighbours.
Our lease with the Auckland City Council restricts the number of hires (in any one year) which may finish at
midnight.  Once this limit is met, future functions will be expected to finish at 11pm.
Please be aware that the clubhouse is situated in a residential area.  All involved with the function are required to respect this by reducing their noise to the absolute minumum.  
This includes not only the Sailing Club Rooms, but the council reserve on which we are located and the surrounding streets.
The bond holder is responsible for the control of the function and all those associated with it.  (This includes those associated with the function goers, but not invited, even if they are not on the club premises.)
The bond holder must ensure the premises are vacated in an orderly and quiet manner before the
12pm  (or 11pm) curfew.
Although we allow a
midnight / (11pm) curfew, the Auckland Council impose noise control regulations at 10pm . You are expected to abide by these.  Please see a copy of guidelines issued to us by the  Auckland City Council at the bottom of this page.  If Noise control are called in, we will not take responsibility.  

We ask that in order to retain the good will of our neighbours you observe the following;  Close the door to the street at
10pm, refrain from loud talking outside, and refrain from revving car engines when leaving the venue.

Any failure to comply with conditions of hire will result in the loss of your bond.

As a Community Organisation, the Sailing Club does not promote the irresponsible consumption of alcohol.  A responsible host should not encourage excess drinking in an inappropriate area.  
There is an ACC alcohol ban in all public areas surrounding the Club.



For Evening bookings we are operating under a number of restrictions, such as
11pm / midnight curfew, and only one evening function per week. If your preferred day is not available in the online bookings calendar because it is already booked, or another day that week is already booked, then unfortunately there is little chance we can help. Booking applications will be assessed in the order that they are received.

Day time bookings on weekdays can take place on days where there is a committee meeting in the evening.

The Club reserves the right to reject any booking application and to return the booking fee; without any explanation.

What's it cost?
General hire is $550 per evening including weekends, 10 am to 10 am the following day.  (This price includes a security guard between 8pm and midnight)
Week Day Hire is $250 per day, on weekdays (
8am - 5 pm).  Hires finishing after 5pm on a weekday are $550 per day.
