Vocal Voices

THere has been a dance class at a church hall for over 60 years on a Monday evening.
We have gone there for several years. A couple have organised the dancies for about five years, paying a rent for the use of the hall. It is also used by other oganisations not connected to the church, both during the day and evenings.

Last Monday night, the people attnding were shown a letter which had been sent by the vicar to say that the room would no longer be available. I have not seen the letter but have been told it was strogly worded. The dance organisers are trying to find another venue for the Monday night dancing.

It is possible another group at a higher rent will now use the hall on Monday. So much for loyal customers.

Oh, what a shame

If I were you, I would ask the vicar for an explanation.

Congregations in churches are getting smaller and smaller as the years go by, and your vicar's
attitude is not what one would expect.

I would certainly expect some sort of justification to be explained by him.

That's a shame Cruiser I was expecting you to say that Mrs E has decided no more dancing, but hope you can find somewhere else.

I was just about to say that, you need to be given a good valid reason. You are so lucky in England, you have such lovely halls for dancing, wish we had them here. Some of the nicest I have been in are church halls (not Catholic though). I hope the organisers find another venue.

That's tough, Cruiser. Usually church halls are pretty desperate to raise income from outside groups, so it would be interesting to know why.
