[i:1tgot5r0]"This would be a place to hang out, to drink, to volunteer, to run events, to create; to connect; to go when you're looking for something to do! A place to hang out with your friends and make new ones by taking part in the project."[/i:1tgot5r0]
The image that comes to mind is a but like a coffe shop where people just sit around playing games while spending very little and contributing just as little. Would the relevant authorities allow a business with an alcohol license, to be run by volunteers. Golf clubs run by [b:1tgot5r0]members[/b:1tgot5r0] are few and far between because of differences in how some want the business run. They're mostly run by management companies at this stage. Also, a business is not a project. It's a very serious affair with disastrous repercussions for all involved if it goes tit's up.
I see a lot of pitfalls, including objections from residents , local publicans and other groups, but best of luck anyway.
