                                                   (for the club & the hall)
  Comments: Would like to see the hall re-opened as soon as possible. Became impossible for the Club to sustain maintenance of the hall due to high costs involved. Required grants funding and
  needed a separate incorporated entity to do that. RSL was prepared to do any necessary running of the hall and only needed assistance with grant funding. Approach to council was a last
  choice option and it is hoped that the council will renovate the hall.

  Comments: We've run classes and dances in the hall since 1995. Several branches of my family have lived in Cooroy district over 100 years and danced in that hall over that period, attended
  meetings and memorial services there, wrote the history of the hall. Family well connected to the hall. All very disappointed the action committee did not make earlier resolution with RSL club,
  incorporated & applied for grants as suggested by Tina. In interests of opening the hall hope to see council & new committee open asap. The disappointment and frustration is echoed through
  the Cooroy community. For ourselves: Over the past 15 months we have explored other options and to date have not found a suitable venue. Our dancesport training requires a large floor that
  is not too sticky, preferably a timber floor and not over concrete, must have good natural ventilation. Old halls in their original condition are rare and this one suits our needs perfectly as it was.
  The only real changes we could see as advantageous would be: clean toilets, not being able to see into the toilet, a fresh coat of paint to the interior in more heritage type colours of
  creams/neutrals similar to Montville hall (a more inviting colour scheme), fresh paint outside and gardens more heritage style and enhancing the halls character, a new kitchen clean and
  hygienic for serving of supper, Porticos to keep the rain out would be helpful and blinds on the western windows. The hall has had some, but little cleaning in that time. A good cleanout and
  restore all the back rooms to give them useful purpose would be great. Provision of a vacuum cleaner would be immensely helpful. Rent would have to be reasonable in line with what can be
  earned from classes to be viable for any of the classes, markets, etc. Overcapitalising on upgrades would exclude us and most of the renters from using the hall. None that | spoke to need any

  Comments: The ladies used to clean for past 11 years; toilets need upgrading and please not to be able to be on stage looking directly into a toilet. Laura has 40 years experience in interior e
  design and is willing to assist me with anything required in that field. The ladies are willing to assist if required and would very much like to see the hall open as soon as possible as no other iB
