Apologies, I've just re-read my post and it sounded like I was knocking what you do.....I certainly didn't intend to. We started KFFC for a number of reasons....to give local and newish acts somewhere to perform, to occasionally put on bigger acts that people asked for....and to help keep the local pub going, it was struggling even when we started....and to have fun!
I admire what you are doing for the local community.....Village Halls are just as important to small communities as pubs.
Our Village Hall does OK though as our school uses it for P.E. etc as well as lot's of other local groups during the day and many weekday evenings. We may end up using it for the club, but it will considerably change things....like killing the late night singarounds, we have stop the music in the hall by 11.30.
