Stoneleigh Village Hall and Playing Fields are not open to public use in the same way as, say, a public park but are controlled by the trusts of the charity, the objects of which, are to provide the Hall and Playing Fields for use by the inhabitants of the Parish of Stoneleigh including use for meetings/lectures/classes and other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation. The Hall is available to persons or bodies wishing to make a booking; who will or will not be allowed to book is under the control of the Committee.



The Committee consists of a representative from each of the village organisations that use the Hall; these are: Stoneleigh Male Voice Choir, the British Legion, the Handbell Ringers, the WI, the PCC, the Parish Council, the Village Club and RASE, together with the cricket, football and tennis clubs; there are also five elected members. Committee elections take place each April at the AGM.

The Committee is responsible for governing the use of the hall and its bookings, for control of its finances and licensing. The Committee as trustees must ensure that the Hall buildings and facilities are at all times kept in good repair and condition and insured against all insurable risks including public liability.

Any work to be carried out on site, including work by volunteers, must receive prior approval by the Committee to ensure all insurances and necessary Health and Safety and other safeguards are complied with.

The Charity relies on the revenue from bookingsof the Hall and from the leasing of the tennis courts to the Tennis Club, the playing fields and changing rooms to the Football Club and the swings to the Parish Council to meet the annual expenditure on maintenance and repairs, cost of utilities, licensing arrangements and the cost of insurance and other expenses..
