Editorial Comment: Pistols Sent Packing
"Councillors prefer to pay the group £1,200 to keep out of the hall. They are not prepared to "offend and insult"
local Methodists to whom the hall remains the Nonconformists cathedral....
The incident underlines that the hall cannot be the razzle dazzle emporium
which the local show business entrepreneurs require."
