all evening the noise has been going on despite all doors and windows closed but our community centre has innocently played host to mayhem tonight. put the milk bottle out a few minutes ago and a mob of our young were running riot.
the young mum next door was already out and fuming as alfie and abigail could not get to sleep and a young gentleman was busying himself urinating in my front garden.

A well aimed bucket of very cold water would have come in useful Howard.

Sheila was telling me that local people book the Hall, they are told that they cannot consume alcohol on the premises - they then agree with that condition and then they bring their own in and consequently, what Howard describes above, happens.
What do you do ? You have to hire the hall out.

rang the police but got fed up after about 10 minutes, the questions getting ever more pointless.

Howard,
We have told you on many occasions to get in touch with us if you have any problems, we cannot do anything if we are not told, all you have to do is give us a ring and we will go round and try and sort out the problem, we can do no more than that, we have to hire the hall out to get an income in, if we dont then the centre would be lost, and more flats put on the site, pre school would be lost, as well as the other events that take place, the hall was shut up by 11-15pm, when we went round to see if everything was OK, we do not usually let the hall for that kind of party during the week, they wanted Saturday but it was booked, and being half term they asked for Thursday, a one off. Parties like this are not on a regular basis, not as they were a couple of years back, REMEMBER 10am in the morning until after midnight, we managed to stop those, these birthday parties when held usually run from 7pm until 11.30, all music off by then, cleaned up and out the hall by midnight

noise up until about 10 pm is irritating but acceptable sheila, i would not bother you or anyone else about it i am not a killjoy.
it was only when i went out about half ten that the mayhem became clear, it was then a job for the police to sort out, no point in ringing you.

Surely there is nothing that those who hire the hall out can do once people leave the building. Even with the best run TT events there will be some idiot who will smuggle booze in, I bet a police car slowly driving past at chuck out time would help but that is asking for a miracle.
Howard, I really think you and your neighbours should start watering your front gardens on these troublesome occasions, preferably with a hose that has a strong jet

It is a pity that with a local hall for local people and their functions, plus their less rambunctious social needs, that the party givers could not arrange for their guests to help clear up. This would not only help in calming them down, but the toilet needs could be met within the premises. The off the short way home they may go.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

If I'm given a phone call, I will attend the hall as I have in the past, when parties were really rowdy with our international friends, that is when we stated that no parties would go on longer than 4 to 4 and a half hrs, we can controll what occurs in the hall but what goes on after closure is out of our control, the same as it is anywhere in town, once a person or persons leave a pub or night club, the pub or night club is not responsible for their actions, we are only volunteers that run the centre, and have to rely on the person that books the hall to obey the rules set out before them, when they hire the hall.

Howard I understand your post 9, the hirers of the hall, stopped the party early, they say that the trouble outside was not from the people that was invited to the party, they had cleaned up and away by 11-15, they brought the keys back as we were going round to see that everything was shut down and they had started to clean up.
We got the blame the other week, but there was a party on in the old church, that has now been turned into houses

sheila
with the uninvited youngsters i would guess that the party got a mention on facebook, happens all the time. do you mean ancestors in the second part as i remember a party a couple of weeks back that was completely out of hand trouble spilling onto longfield road, certainly nothing to do with the community centre.
action needs to be taken about the residents there, summer will be a disaster when the parties get into full swing, they also need to be told not to leave toddlers unattended near the junction of the alley.

Sounds howard shiela means ex ancestors
So that has nothing to do with the community association.
If you feel in the future problems may be coming from the hall a quick call to sheila and she will pop round or i will if im around.
