| Is the effect what the hall is designed for? |
Table setting are a large part of 'creating the atmosphere' .
Intrinsically people behaviour matches the degree of pomp and ceremony that a setting is catering for. The wrong setting effects the atmosphere and thus the outcome.
When I entered a reception hall at Caulfield, Melbourne, I was impressed at the table layouts. People who came to the gathering did dress 'upwards' to meet the occasion.
When the table settings are average for a higher class of speakers, guests and complimentary meal style the behaviour may tone down but the 'dress' sense carries thought to the behaviour expected.
Although the Hazelwood South Hall has the long tables available the legs are in need of repair. There are chairs and long stools. The chair numbers are down due to the thief's. When used in a setting of adults the Long wooden benches are not applicable to adult usage as the adult in the middle has to climb over their seat or disturb others just to get back to their spot. Lifting their legs to climb back into the spot vacated is a real lowering of table conversation!
However that said when the setting is for children these social etiquette rules have not been established. The long wooden benches are
- designed for the children's usage at the tables.
- To be placed around the walls of the Hazelwood South Hall.
- Placed in a herring bone situations for public access at public meetings.
Predominately the Hazelwood South Hall is designed for children's use
.
Anyone wanting to use the hall for 'other than children' settings must supply their own matching tables and chairs. Thus the effect that they want to convey will be both effective and efficient. Meeting their needs
.
