I think a constructive debate/ sharing best practice around the running of Folk Clubs can only be a good thing.

The Facebook UK Folk Club forum that I assume you are referring to seems to be doing a good job at getting this debate going.

As a relative newcomer (3.5 years) to running a folk club/ village hall concert venue I'm happy to take all the advice I can get. And I don't mind being constructively criticised by those who have something to share.

Your original point is a none-issue as far as I am concerned.
