I concur with all Frank Lee's diatribe about Soldier Boy's post. A bit of history may explain the problem, When we used the rugby club, there was a downstairs bar for socialising and an upstairs bar for singing and it worked. Unfortunately the rugby club wanted too much money from us so we moved to the rowing club where there is only one room with a bar. We could have either given it over to dancers or to singers, we chose singers and offered the Dun Cow for dancers.In retrospect this was probably the wrong decision. If we look forward to DFP 2010,and it's only the following Tuesday we will sort the perceived problem out by providing facilities for dancers and also for singers which was never the idea of the folk party
