Searching for a hall in Broadstone
In pursuit of a venue for Anonymous Morris, I'm working my way through every possible building in Broadstone (as Broadstone is fairly close and has better public transport links than Corfe Mullen). We want Thursday evening if at all possible, with Monday as a fall back option.
It's rather like hunting for convention hotels. You just keep hunting for data and plugging away at the phone.
So far (this is partly to keep my own memory refreshed):
Pubs. Goods Yard and Stepping Stones. Neither has any suitable rooms for hire.
Liberals - still having trouble contacting them. One of the available phone numbers is in fact their fax machine (judging by the noise on the line)
Conservatives - The first Thursday of every month is taken, but the others are free and the cost is £25 per evening for 8pm - 10pm. They seem quite keen to have us. One of the side would have to be a member of the Conservative Club for us to be able to book the hall, but I don't see this as an insurmountable problem. We really want a hall for every Thursday, but this looks like a viable fall back option if all else fails.
Community Centre - Thurdays taken (Monday's taken too)
War Memorial Hall - Thursdays taken
British Legion - Thursdays taken.
St John's Church Hall - Thursdays taken, but Monday available at £11 per hour - another possible fall-back.
Broadstone First School - no rooms for hire in the evening as no staff on site.
Broadstone Middle School - not available (they use their hall a lot for parent's evenings and the like so regular bookings are not possible although one-offs are fine)
Broadstone Dance Studio (who are so inept I can't even find a website) - not currently answering phone
Methodist church - Bradbury Hall - phone again tomorrow when the right person is in.
