Thanks very much for all the replies. It certainly seems we are paying a high price at £6/night.
We have gained one or two members this year and attendance is good so perhaps a reduction is possible. I can but ask.
The obvious answer would be to get even more members, but the hall is a bit small and won't take many more.
Thanks again.

When I factored in the cost of driving to and from the venue and the odd soft drink, I was paying around £10 per visit. So mainly I would only get one game in, so it seemed rather a lot of money to bung some die for a few hours. This was not the main reason I stopped going, but it was a factor. With the money saved, I could buy a BKC battle group every month from Pendraken . Now we game it each others houses as and when work and family time allows and it's free, plus you don't get the clubs bores or rules lawyers telling you how to play your game!

We pay a £10 to join and then it's 2 per night/sunday. We have been filling the hall this year though and usually the stage as well recently. I suspect our show contributes a fair subsidy towards our costs.

Hi

Always looking for new members, lots of 10mm played.

Sorry couldn`t resist a plug.

Section 8...like it 

Bunch of madmen by any chance???

25 pounds a month waged, otherwise 15. However it is our premises so games can be left up, figures and terrain can be left there and key holders can play any time they like, which is very useful for me, being retired, I can set up one day, play late into the night and go down the next day to take it all down. There is a five pound table fee for non-members.

Wow, that is impressive! Especially finding members who can afford £25 per month. 

You'd be surprised. Fifty odd full members plus a number of fee-paying non-members. Mind you, it is a city centre location.
