Community Centre Reservations
Hi there,
I work part time for a small charity in the UK that runs a community centre, and I 
have been trying to find a way to computerise our booking system.
We are all volunteers and every database booking solution out there has either not 
quite been what we need, or is a subscription service we cannot afford.
I figured I’d try and come up with something In access for everybody to use, but it’s 
been a long time since I’ve done any database design and I’m struggling to wrap my 
head around how I’m going to achieve certain things.
 I came across your site purely by accident but its great for getting ideas for structure.
Our Situation:
          Community Centre with 6 hireable rooms
          Bookings can be for multiple rooms at multiple times
          Bookings can recur on a weekly monthly basis (with optional gaps)
          Bookings can also be on an irregular schedule (random days)
I’ve been trying to wrap my head around a way of getting this working - and I just can’t get it. 
I’m resigning myself to the fact that any booking for any day that is different will be treated as a separate booking.
Any advice, sample code, tutorials etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance 
Neil
