Hello Folks,
The cost of marquee for the 'big green' is not really the issue. The subject has been investigated, as has the hanger at the Drome. The biggest factor against the marquee is the health and safety issues is raises. There is also the fact of being in an area surrounded by residential property. This of course means early close-down, a slightly less attractive alternative.
Moving to private area outwith the town to accommodate a marquee would mean loss of present funding - another anomoly to consider. The committee has considered these options, however, we are all things to all people - a community event that wishes to remain in the heart of the town. That's what we started the whole thing for - to help the wee toon and its folks, irrespective of age or tastes in music.
