It was confirmed at a requisition meeting which was held last night
It's been confirmed that the Baldrine Hall is not being sold by the Isle of Man Methodist Council.
However, at a public meeting last night, a number of reasons were given for its closure which included a 'dwindling' congregation who are moving to new churches and the potential cost of refurbishment.
About 40 residents were in attendance, including local politicians and two representatives from the church.
The local community uses the hall for a number of different reasons; polling on election day, public meetings, church and Young Farmer's meetings and rehearsals.
Tony Pass, who called the meeting said if the hall is closed, Baldrine will lose its only community space.
