Quite right - there's always been plenty of functions for the oldies of Kinver ever since I can remember, but always less for the youth of the village. Although the KCA did run both Under and Over 18 Discos when I was younger (and I'm talking 20 years ago) and there was always a regular 'Scooter run' disco with very little trouble, everyone just wanted to enjoy themselves. Although we did have Seargent Allison involved who used to take an interest and police the events back then, something that I can't see happening these days with our local community bobbies! Perhaps another reason why events like this no longer take place.
That was then, and now my friends and I are in 30's to early 40's, a very considerable population in Kinver where we've moved back to to bring up our kids - surely the KCA could host something for us - live bands, and 70's/80's discos sounds great fun, we're not over the hill yet. The KCA has plenty of room to dance, cheap beer and wine and something local for the community to take part in.
Is there a KCA committee? perhaps they could come up with or request some ideas (leaflets around the village) as it would be a shame to see the KCA go the same way as the British legion?
