Evenings at the community hall
A community hall has received more requests for evening bookings than it can provide next term. The trustees must decide how to share 24 available evening bookings among four regular groups.
| Group | Evening bookings requested | Average attendance | Other arrangements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Youth orchestra | 12 | 38 | No suitable alternative venue |
| Exercise class | 12 | 24 | Another venue is available 1.5 km away |
| Local history group | 8 | 17 | Most meetings could take place in the afternoon |
| Community language group | 10 | 29 | No suitable alternative venue |
Some trustees believe that the groups with the highest attendance should receive most of the bookings. Others believe that access to alternative arrangements should be more important.
Write a letter to the trustees recommending how the 24 evening bookings should be allocated. Use the information provided, explain why your proposal is fair and address a reasonable objection to it. You may invent practical details, but your allocation must not exceed 24 evening bookings.
Your response will be assessed for communication and organisation, and for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation. The total includes 16 marks for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation.
