Amerigin, if a men's only hearme or maybe some attemt at an instrument workshop was sugessted, I would have taken exactly the same line as I have done now. My point is that we do have the resources to host extra events for special purposes while keeping the main room open for all.

As I said before, I am not dictating terms and it is up to everybody to work out how to make the best of this facility if they wish to use it but I can not help but feel that the courteous thing would be to use a freely available and easily set up room for such purposes.
