ood to see this point brought up. I co run a bus folk club. I won't say it's a thankless task, I'm pleased that our member often thank us and compliment us. But it is a lot more hark work that many people think. I don't kn ow of any hosts who do it for a living or make any money at all out of it, in fact you're often reaching in to your own pocket. In fact running the club on the night is not the hardest part. The preperation is though, I always make sure the room is fully set up and welcoming before anyone steps through the door, Folk come to enjoy the music, meet friends, relax and have fun, and they should leave feeling they've had that im ample measure. Of course there is always the odd person feels they could do better and like to tell you how! But if you're doing a good job that should be quite a rare thing. We aim to treat all members fairly and give all the same amount of time, I see many clubs cater far too much for a clique of 'better' performers, that's bad
