SECURITY staff at a Kidderminster nightclub were kicked and punched in a fracas involving drunken customers, Worcester Crown Court was told.

The melee happened in the early hours outside the Time club in Blackwell Street, said Mr Graham Cliff, prosecuting.

Some of the accused were so drunk they could not remember what had occurred, he said. At least two had been ejected from the club.

Adam Mole, 19, of Hurcott Road, Gareth Peglar, 19, of Usmere Road, both Kidderminster, and Lee Saunders, 20, of Heronsfield Close, Church Hill, Redditch, pleaded guilty to affray.

Saunders, who recently completed another sentence for affray, was sentenced to six months detention.

Mole and Peglar were each ordered to do 100 hours unpaid work for the community and pay £500 costs.
