I have read this thread and all though I don't wish to contribute to any negative thoughts on ANY folk club I must comment on this
    "put yourself in a wheelchair and think"
I myself have used a wheelchair and have bladder problems for approx 13 yrs now and am known to several people on this thread. I don't bang doors or cross the room in the middle of someone's set.

Tyke, your are quite correct when you say that some facilities are hard to use, they are and it can be frustrating and demeaning to ask for help to get in a "disabled toilet". The problem generally is because they haven't been thought through or possibly asking a disabled person what they think, might help.

I have visited the Topic when I was still living in Yorkshire and I found it a LOVELY CLUB and we should all concentrate on the good things because if we'ree not careful we'll talk ourselves out of having folk clubs. So here's to great folk clubs around the country!!
