So a longstanding non-profit business has been pressured to change their business model due to the complaints of one neighbour ("Why club had to stop the music", Newcastle Herald, 25/7). I'm dumbfounded.
Even though the Adamstown Bowling Club hadn't hosted outdoor gigs until last year, I put it to this person that such gigs would've always been a possibility. After all, outdoor gigs are becoming much more common, and live music has been synonymous with pubs and clubs for more than 100 years now. The club opened in 1935, so I say on the neighbour's head be it.
