What is being bought

Published requirement description

Alternative Venues London (AVL) is the name of the commercial lettings department which hires out Reserve Centres and Cadet units for non-military purposes. Within Greater London there are 46 Reserve Forces Centres and 70 Cadet units available for hire, for up to seven days a week and most have secure parking. Meetings and conferences can be for as few as ten to as many as 150. Dinner dances for 200 are possible in some locations.
