The framework exists, yet meaningful negotiations along those lines have still not properly commenced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dwyer said Norths Collective also claimed during the meeting that The Bowlo had lost about $900,000 during the three years it operated the venue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur position is simple \u2013 Norths operated the club during that period, not the community,\u201d Dwyer said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is difficult for local residents to accept that those losses are now somehow being used against the very community trying to save the club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The future of The Bowlo in Bangalow remains in limbo, with negotiations to return the club to local control from Norths Collective reaching a stalemate.
