Hiring the Hut
Note: The scout hut rebuild is now
finished, complete with working kitchen
Community groups and organisations may hire the hall of our Scout Hut on
Flamsteed Road(click for map) when it is not in use by our Scout Group by sending an email
to the executive committee
. The building is the property of the 28th Cambridge Scout Group
and the primary function of the building is to support the aims of the Scout
Movement. Room hire helps to contribute to our running costs. It is managed
by the Executive Committtee.

Bridge and Cambridge Leisure Park. Click

Accessibility
Our hut is accessible to all, regardless of ability, gender, sexual preference,
race, religion or age. There is a ramp for wheelchair access at the front
of the building and a disabled toilet. The toilets are for all and are not
age or gender assigned. There are no steps or raised thresholds between areas
in the building. Currently the fire escape has a raised threshold and a step
down but we are looking into how to correct this. Accoustically the building
has a lot of refective surfaces which could give problems for hearing impaired
but we are also looking into how to correct this too.

Fire
There is a fire alarm. Make yourself aware of the fire exits at either end
of the building and the fire extinguishers. The fire collection point is by
the front gate. There is a cage of flammable material at the rear of the site
so do not collect there. As the Stores may contain flammable and potentially
dangerous materials the building should be evacuated in the event of a fire.
Utilities
Be aware of the utility access points. The electricity consumer unit is
in the office; the water stopcock in the cleaning cupboard. Heating is very
effective and supplied by warm air vents in the main hall, controlled in the office.
Chairs and tables are available, as are crash mats, on arrangement with the
Exec.
