Sandy, I've tried to find the details of this new charge but I can find any information.

While I am against the use of locked rooms for many purposes, I feel that the concert is best held in a locked room as I don't think it would be easy to admin an open room where everyone excecpt the performer is asked to keep quiet and I think that the effects of a disruptive person will be felt more by one person who is being asked to perform a whole concert than by the usual situation where anyone can sing.

As sandy says, it would be good to know what they are charging.

Llanfranc, we have no information yet. As it stands, going banner free is an option that individuals can pay for so I would assume this is therefore an addtional charge for using their facilities for a private function which may or may not display banners for those who haven't paid to go bannerless.
