Yes Gus I agree with most of your points, but the point that I was trying to make was that Ceroc is too large an organisation to compete with IN SCOTLAND. the organisations you mention do not operate in Scotland. I have no crib with your comment about the best clubs doing the best, and don't think that all Ceroc clubs are the best. I also have learned that you should NEVER assume. The other point is that some Ceroc franchisees think that everyone else who runs a jive night is trying to compete, when this is not stricly the case. Most people who start a club try to avoid days and dates that clash with others,and are trying to offer an occasional alternative. However as you stated in a previous thread, if your organisation is big enough, you can start up on the same night as the new club, and put them out of business. Unfortunately, people tend to follow the crowd and prefer to go to a busy venue, regardless of whether the other venue plays better/different music etc.
