Hello Friends,
Here at at Scarborough we also use Google Calendar for bookings -
I use a colour coded system for the rooms - eg red for the large room,
green for the small room and blue for the committee room.
As Liz says, adding things manually to invoices takes a few minutes for
each booking, I have a sheet I made which I fill in by hand, looking at
the calendar for who booked which room and when, it takes about ½ hour I
suppose.
Then transfer the details to invoices created by Quickbooks which sends
the invoices and records them too. Our AM has transferred all local
Meetings to Quickbooks. As most of our hirers are regulars it doesn't
take too long to send out our invoices which we do monthly unless
requested otherwise.
In friendship,
Ann

This system is easy to set up and use. I received support from Wendry
Hayward years ago when I was warden for Reading Meeting.
The invoices are created on a spreadsheet. You can easily use google
spreadsheet for this. I transfer the hiring data into the spreadsheet
manually, going through the google calendar week by week. It can be
time consuming if your meeting house is very busy, but it's not
difficult to do.
I'd be happy to share examples of my calender and spreadsheet if
anyone is interested.
In friendship,
Liz

Hi David,
Good question!
At Norwich we use Libre Office for invoicing and spreadsheet
recording. And Google Calendar for keeping track of bookings.
Benefits:
Zero purchase cost and no monthly/annual subscriptions.
Single point of control prevents most errors.
Downsides:
Takes a little more time at the end of the month to invoice and
update spreadsheets.
Single point of control = reliance on one person.
QUESTIONS:
Is it possible to integrate Google Docs for invoicing and
spreadsheets into Google calendar? If this is even remotely
possible, I may spend some time investigating...
Kind regards,
Martin Lacey

Good afternoon, all.
We are looking at systems for taking and managing bookings for the
meeting house. Would anyone care to comment on pluses and minuses
of the various systems (Hallmaster, etc)?
Many thanks,
