Our church, St Mary Magdalene on Trinity Rd opposite the cricket ground, will hire them to you for a reasonable fee. You can contact thru the website.
Hariette S
Thank you for the suggestions Krupa & Sally . Tried the church but, unfortunately, they already have a booking for that day.  Will now try the Council but if anyone knows of any other local churches that rent out tables, please let me know.

Thankyou for the heads-up Sylvia - whenever i drive past the hall and see that the Sea Cadets meet there it always makes me feel rather sentimental about living on an island surrounded by the sea......
