Attended meeting 49 20

Future use: Yes No

Support new meetings** 71 6

**On 63 returns there were suggestions for meetings, these are shown on the right.
One paper wrote "Old Gits" - this could not easily be combined with others it was felt.
One remarked "You would get lottery money if you were to build a hall elsewhere".
A full letter from a nearby resident stated that it was the wrong place for private parties as they had been greatly disturbed by bad behaviour in the past. In concluded - "if private parties are to be permitted there, there MUST be a reasonable finishing time STRICTLY ENFORCED".
