NOTE THAT NO MOBILE PHONES, CAMERAS, ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, SHARP OBJECTS OR LARGE BAGS ARE ALLOWED INTO THE BUILDING FOR SECURITY REASONS. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A FEW PREMISES NEARBY THAT OFFER A SECURE SERVICE FOR YOUR PROPERTY, FOR A SMALL FEE OF ABOUT £2, THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEED FACILITY AND IS VERY TIME CONSUMING. WE DO URGE THAT LUGGAGE IS KEPT TO A BARE MINIMUM. IF YOU ARE COMING BY COACH OR MINI BUS TRY TO LEAVE AS MANY BELONGINGS THERE AS POSSIBLE. YOU WILL NOT GET A PHONE INTO THE BUILDING AS THE X-RAY MACHINE WILL PICK IT UP AND YOU WILL THEN BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE PREMISES. MOBILES, CAMERAS ETC ARE REGARDED AS A SECURITY RISK.
