I once enquired at our methodist church about running my club there, some time ago. I mentioned a bar and they refused of course. I had to look elsewhere as beer makes up part of the evening :-) Apart from that it would have been a very good venue.
As it is now, we have a very good village hall with bar.

On the side, when I lived in Amsterdam, we went to a new restaurant (curry) and the owners religion didn't allow alcohol, but he had applied for a licenece and was waiting for it.
We ordered our meal and a bottle of wine. The owner said "I am sorry sir, we are not allowed to serve alcohol. However, we do serve lovely pots of red or white tea"
It took a few seconds to catch on. So we ordered a pot of red tea, and as it was so nice, we ordered another. It was the first time we slurred our words after drinking tea. LOL :-)
