Brixton news, rumours and general chat - March 2013

Not open for further replies.
Hello to each and everyone of you on Urban 75....what can I say ..have been reading comments on the situation we found ourselves in due to the shooting in our premises on the morning of the 7th March...this has marred our clean record of the last 29 years.....because of this incident we have now got conditions added to our licence.....
We have maintained the 24 hour status, which we are we are very pleased about.
Photo ID is now required to gain entrance to the club side of our operations...a good thing as with so many venues now having to install them, the last thing we want is to be left with any undesribles as they can not get in anywher else late into the evenings.
As all will see after tonight. We also now have to have a metal dector arch for customers to walk through....not too happy about this ..but if it means that we will now be the safest place to be in Brixton. So be it (this may frighten a few new people in town, who do not know our history or even put people off)..it is not that you can miss it...
Another condition, will be that all drinks will now be served in plastic glases, plastic bottles or tins.
The last one is the completion of the form 696 for any new promotions to the venue.
Just for the record our head of security, Steve will still be in control of our door.

Any question we are more than happy to answer, but will have to do that later on here as we need to go and do a bit of work befoe tonight.
Should you wish to come and visit, please do, walk through the arch, show your photo Id and come and have a chat. Tonight will be free entrance before midnight which is normal for us.
Glad you've got your licence back :)
I also wanted to ask about the ID scanning like Monkeygrinder's Organ did. How does it work? How is the data stored and disposed of? Can you tell us what make/model of scanner you will have to use? Did the police provide the equipment or did you have to buy it? What sort of photo ID is acceptable? Cheers.
 
Two BIG sounds namely Sturgav and Volcano will be in town tonight shaking the Academy foundations featuring renowned artistes
including U Roy and Yellowman :)
 
Hello,
I have all the questions written down that need to be answered. The lady who will be coming later to give a deminstration onhow it all work will be with us later.

No the police did not provide the equipment, this was for us to do and pay for, although it did have to meet the approval of the authorities.
The metal arch we did not know what it looked like till it arrived...we hope to change this after this weekend, for something a little less in size that will fit inside the door frame.
The photo id acceptable to use that I can confirm at this moment in time.
Driving licence Uk, as well as most countries, passports, again most countries.

Will be able as I say to answer the other questions later.
 
most countries.
Have the police/council said which countries fall outside of "most"?



Good Luck for the future. I don't do clubbing but I've always respected the way you run things. As many, many people on here and around Brixton attest to, and have so for years and years, you run a safe business that doesn't cause trouble, with a happy atmosphere. Long may you prosper.
:)

It would be nice if you could just join in with the general chat here without plugging your event quite so relentlessly.
 
I'm more than happy for these boards to be used to promote local art events, but there's been about four threads so far and endless mentions!
I am just trying to get it about for the community as not a lot of people in Brixton about them.. I have been joining in with the chat.. just getting used to the forum sorry about keep plugging the event but as poor artists we can not afford big advertising..
 
here the fb event page you can view some of the art that is going to be on display there..
Look, I already had to move your first announcement out of here and into the correct forum. Keep it in there. It's never a good idea to piss me off before 9am on a Sunday morning.
 
Actually, maybe someone in the car that's currently blocking the road (obscured by that bastard illegal hoarding in the pic) was injured. They've taped off the road now.

Those busy people who hang about outside the bookies all day long were laid on some extra entertainment in the shape of a garage truck that failed miserably to have enough power to tow away the black vehicle that had been hit.
 
:D She's linked to the thread where posters told her she was out of order. I think she's just going to make herself look even more stupid :D
 
I hadnt seen the other post (the ones she linked to) clearly being out of order and rude. And now talking shite on facebook about mods. What a silly person.
