Calverley Conservative Club is to be taken over by the children’s performing arts school the WASP Academy.
The Wysoczanski Academy School of Performance (WASP) run by sisters Sophie and Bethany Wysoczanski, started in 2007 and now runs classes at both the Conservative Club and Mechanic’s Institute in the village.
The Conservative Club, which is based on Victoria Street, announced in August that the club was no longer viable and that the owners stepping down with immediate effect and all bookings cancelled.
The following month WASP said it would be taking over the club for its classes.
The Community Choir will continue to meet there.
