Cactus Club opening

Story by Rob Smith

On Saturday 12th February, many local people joined staff and management of the Cactus Club for the reopening of the new fullylicensed venue.

The club’s management have been involved in months of preparation, building and renovating. “Many local people have worked hard on this to help make this happen,” explains licensee Anwar Suliman. “The club also now employs a wide range of local people.”

The opening event showed a good turn out of people who came to enjoy themselves under some tight door supervision and interior security.

The evening was marred when six uniformed policemen arrived who, according to Cactus management, came heavy handedly on the pretext of checking licensing provision. And without any announcement, at 12.30am Sunday morning, parking tickets were issued to all clientele parked on double-yellow lines directly outside the Club.

Anwar expressed concern that the police’s attitude has not been conducive towards a harmonious working relationship between the club’s management, staff or clientele and the police.
