Firstly, young people would have a genuine say in how the place was run ... not just a token presence on a committee. They could see this as a chance to learn, to learn something that would be useful in the employment jungle outside, and to gain self-esteem that they might not get so easily elsewhere. Secondly, the local people would offer genuine support - like helping with the business side of a Centre (accounts, minutes, budgets, that sort of boring - but essential - stuff). Thirdly, young people would have a say in the design and contents of the building - it's easier to build stuff in at the design stage than to try to bolt it one afterwards.

i think that they should have members cards and discounts for regular customers that behave well also they could have a weekly raffle there.they should have certain places for certain things so that if one group of people are trying to play a quiet game and another group of people are having a game that is generaly very noisy the quiet game will be disturbed by all of the noise and start getting annoyed.
