The new restrictions imposed by the nocturnal ordinance forced the Villa Dora club to change the day of its traditional dance from Sunday to Saturday.
“We want to defend Sunday because we feel that Sunday is ours.. But this forces us to change. In May we have two Saturdays scheduled, May 6 and 20, and we will do two Sundays as well,” explained Adrián Ramseyer, president of the institution.
“We can do the dance once a weekend, and once a month do a cultural club-type event, which will take place on May 12. It’s a much smaller event.”
The new provisions establish that Saturday events may be extended until 4 on Sunday. But the events of on Sundays they will only be there until 1 on Monday. Thus, the dance and collection time is greatly reduced.
“We have no choice, we have to maintain the structure of the club and that implies the budget. If Sunday doesn’t work, because it forces us to close earlier, we will go from the Sunday classic to Saturday. We have to see how the people are divided up now that Villa Dora is there on Saturdays. We have groups of a good level, with a lot of roots and calls, we think we can do well. But we want to defend on Sunday”, he reflected in dialogue with Hugo Isaak for Cadena OH!
“The problem is that people don’t get used to going to the dance at 10 pmThey are not interested in spending two or three hours at the dance. There are people who work late or live far away. If there are games and they finish late, that takes away a lot of the public. We have to maintain the maintenance of the equipment, the salaries, the maintenance of the property, everything goes up, it becomes difficult to maintain the structure. But we also want to continue growing. There is a gym that we are building, we have little left but it is slower due to a budget issue, “he finally said.
