Louise Cooper, 69, is one of those members opposing the sale.
“I want to keep it open as a community venue,” she said.
“This is important to the local community.”
If the local authority chose to list the club as an asset of community value, it would mean a community group would be offered a window of time to get organised and possibly table a bid before the market was opened to other parties.
The owner does not need to accept the bid.
“It could possibly halt the sale for six months and give us a chance to get somebody who would be interested in buying it and keeping it open,” Ms Cooper said.
