A Morecambe social club will close from next week for urgent safety works, it had been announced.
The Trimpell Sports and Social Club on Out Moss Lane say following advice from the local authorities, they will close from this coming Monday (August 3) until further notice.
The club will remain open as normal this weekend.
A spokesperson for the club’s Committee said: ‘’We have been advised that urgent works are required within the club to ensure the safety of our members, customers, staff and visitors.
‘’The safety of everyone who uses the club is our absolute priority, and the last thing we would ever want to do is put anyone at risk.
‘’Since receiving this advice, the committee has been working around the clock behind the scenes to resolve the issues as quickly as possible. We are doing everything we can to complete the necessary works and reopen the club at the earliest opportunity.
‘’We will continue to keep everyone updated as soon as we have further information and a clearer timescale for reopening.
‘’We understand this news will be disappointing, and we sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding and continued support during this difficult time.’’
The club added that anyone whose booking is affected by the closure has already been contacted, and if you have not been contacted, assume your booking is unaffected.
The current premises were opened in October,1956, built at a cost of £20,000 at Out Moss Lane on playing fields owned by three Trimpell companies - Trinidad Leaseholds, Imperial Chemical Industries and Shell Oil.
As Trinidad Leaseholds and Shell wound down their operations in Heysham, ICI became the sole patron until 1980, when with the new power station at Heysham the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) purchased the playing fields, took over their maintenance and joined ICI as one of the club patrons.
After the break up of the CEGB the successor companies played a smaller and smaller role in the club and eventually sold back the land to ICI. The Club was subsequently purchased from ICI by its members who continue to run the club as it is today.
