As can be seen from the above figures, by far the highest number of respondents (33%) indicated their desire for some type of Evening Classes. Although there was no question about the type of course, there were comments to indicate aspects such as Language and Information Technology Classes would be very welcome.
The Victory Hall at Woore was quoted as providing film Shows and 24% of respondents to our questionnaire suggested that we do the same.
Facilities to allow creative activities to develop within the villages seem to be required. Dancing and Dance Classes (with a combined total of 224), Amateur Dramatics and Drama (both for adults and young people) notched up a combined total of 138, Music Activities and Music Society (with a combined total of 90) and Craft Development & Creative Arts for Children (combined total of 203).The University of the 3rd Age (activities for those over 55) will need to be considered.
| There is a strong desire for additional facilities and better use of existing facilities. |
