The Hub

Just behind Mount Pleasant Community Centre. Two reasonable sized rooms though some doubt for availability. Could be used with existing users which are in the 13 to 19 age range.

St Mary's Church

For films they suggested the outbuildings (either the Pavillion Room or the Garden Room) because the main church has poor acoustics. The rooms can viewed on their website.
Pros:

• Plush venue
• Close to city centre
• Well known
• Free parking

Cons:

• expensive - £110 per evening plus 95p for tea/coffee per person (can't bring your own)
• Not in Sharrow

Cafe Euro

The cheap organic cafe next to the Edge climbing wall on John Street. This is a smaller venue that would probably be crowded with 50 people.
Pros:

• Nice relaxed and intimate interior
• Free if enough people buy food/drink there

Cons:

• A bit small
