It's good. For example: "As was common in the first half of the 20th century, there was very little in the way of entertainment available other than the local cinema or a night at the dancing. This encouraged people to make their own enjoyment and one of the methods used was to form an alliance, in many cases associated with some religious group, where they could meet and find ways to help themselves - and others too - in a convivial environment.
