The more sharp eyed amongst you who have been to Nem over the last 6-8 weeks will have noticed an abundance of buckets scattered around the place to catch dripping water. In fact over the last 6 weeks we have had 6 floods.

This situation has been ongoing for 3 years now, with constant promises from the landlords to fix the roof. In fact we have letters from them dated January 2007 that tells us that 'the commencement of work on the roof is imminent'!

Nemesis staff have spent lots of time on the other end of pumps and vaxs' sucking out up to 5Ф of water on many occasions, days and days have been spent drying the club out and making good the water damage to the walls and kit so that the club could open as normal.

The management team decided a few months ago that it was becoming an unworkable situation and the hunt started for new premises. Not an easy task in itself

To find a suitable venue where the landlords wouldn't have apoplexy when they discovered what sort of business their prospective tenants were in
Somewhere that had a reasonable enough rent to be supported by 3-4 opening nights a month.
A venue that would allow us to put into practice the lessons learned at the old venue to make it better

Now the plan was to get the new venue ready whilst the old one was open and to move seamlessly into the new premises. However events have overtaken us and we find that in the best traditions of Murphey's Law, that is no longer possible

The roof at Nem has deteriorated to a point where a section has collapsed, the landlords are not in a hurry to repair it {we think there is another agenda at play here} and we obviously cannot operate without a roof.

Sadly thenЕNem is closed until further notice.

Memberships will be frozen from 1st Feb and will be reactivated on the opening of the new venue, the search for which will start in earnest this week.

As they say 'WATCH THIS SPACE' AND ЕЕ..

WE'LL BE BACK
