I think everybody should be supporting the Village Halls. They are not commercial and if people don't use them, they will lose them.
That would be a great shame.
Most Village Halls will if they can see that somebody is going to use the hall regularly, will hire it out at a very reasonable rate.

Having said that, there are some stupid arseholes that run village halls who becuase they see it probably being the only thing that makes some money, put the price up thinking they will make more money.

Having gone through that twice, third time lucky. Faldingworth memorial Hall are great and have kept to their promises.
