Hi Roger,
Re: Shock tower protectors, probably not for the first event. But if it becomes regular, then we should probably request there use.
Unfortunately the hall is not available any other days. Yes you are right the school is developing a new dance studio etc, hopefully this may free up some other time slots. If it goes further, we would block book, so everyone should know in advance.
TBF, I wouldn't want to run it in the summer, with the onroad on Fridays and the kiddy summer series, there is more than enough going on! Let alone all the other series and nationals.
Pass on the word, lets see if we can get a decent turnout

I am working on the online booking-in, saves a bit of time on the night.
