yet when decent crews wanted to do hall parties they get knocked back.

OK there was the issue with some crews giving false details and not running the party well, but the blanket refusal the police have encouraged isn't helping anyone..

looks like East Anglian stubborness might make everyone lose, they'd rather lose the hall than let people do parties (even well run ones) in it?

Village hall closure threat looms

A struggling village hall on the Norfolk-Suffolk border could close next month unless it receives a fresh injection of cash and community support.

The public facility at Weeting, near Brandon, was almost shut five years ago following a spate of vandalism attacks and mounting repair bills.

But officials from the building, in Saxon Place, are now facing up to the prospect of having to permanently close it as a result of rising utility bills and a lack of use by local groups.

its not weather they would run the party well, its a simple fact that ravers do drugs, and the media twist this, so im sure that village councils dont want to condone the use of drugs, loud music, and fun. its not weather the crew will do a good job at running the party (or even reduce the amount of damamge it will serve) its the simple fact that old village councils dont want a group of munted up teenagers dirtying their hall carpets (even if the cash it makes would save it from demolition, or selling it).

i get where ur coming from, if only some straight level ehaded raver could sell the idea to them and break down the age barriers and the certain misconceptions and prejudices towards us
