Thread Name: Harrogate Folk Club closing
Subject: RE: Harrogate Folk Club closing
Never meant to impune the efforts of anyone enthusiastic enough to run a folk club. I have undying admiration for anyone so brave.

Funny word 'apathy' though. It tries to define something that does not exist!

An absence of emotion or enthusiasm

A state of not caring; not wanting to know; complacency; indifference

You could say that most people are 'apathetic' towards something that does not appeal to them. So why does something that obviously used to appeal, no longer do so?

All I'm saying is you can't just put it down to 'apathy'.

There has to be an underlying reason why the club is no longer well enough supported. If you like; something caused the 'apathy'.
