A HEREFORD social club has spoken out to clear up rumours that it could be in financial trouble.

The Official Receivers might be lined up for the Richmond Place Club – but they're actually a soul band booked to perform at the venue next February.

Les Walker, secretary at the club, said: "We've been hearing lots of rumours that the official receivers are in at the Richmond Club. Yes it's true but it's been misconstrued.

"It's the name of a soul band booked for February 18 next year.

"I have had members coming up to me, asking what's going on."

The club is a member of the Club and Institute Union (CIU) and is club of the month for September because of the events it regularly holds.

Tickets will be available for the event at a later date.
