Looking for and committing to a new venue is two seperate things - I don't believe we'll see a replacement for the Tree anytime soon, especially after the debacle with the AECC. Whether or not it's a priority for them, I don't have a clue - but are they really, really going to risk the negative publicity by closing the doors?

I agree with the comment about the staff list. There are so many, they have had to employ a Human Resources officer!

That's absolutely ridiculous. I'm not going to idly speculate, but I think half of their problems comes from being so overstaffed. Cut the wage bill and cut costs and they'll be on their way to breaking even - heck, if Moshulu can manage it, surely the Lemon Tree can? Obviously they have a public service obligation, but surely they could seperate the commercial from the uncommercial activities?
The sooner someone puts their foot down and tells the LT to operate commercially, the better.
