We’re already involved with the local community and our village hall. Tina is on the committee and I look after the website for it. Soon starting up an instagram account for it too.
There are one or two clubs that meet there each week plus various scout groups, a couple of evenings it’s not in use, so that could be when we fit other things in. I hadn’t thought of meet-up.com that’s a good idea
Our local halls seem fairly busy. I'm trying to get us back to the pub near me. You would think they would welcome more punters during the week.
I guess it depends on the kind of business model many pubs have in mind. PubCo pubs are perhaps more interested in profit than community!
