NIGHTCLUB managers say they want to meet with organisers of the Girls Night In protest to discuss their spiking concerns.

A statement was released on the Sin and Bushwackers social media pages saying they had read anonymous posts from women on the Girls Night In account raising concerns about safety at nightclubs and want to meet to talk through how to make the clubs safer for women.

Organisers of Girls Night In have confirmed that a meeting is being organised and are asking for people who have experienced spiking to attend.

Sin and Buchwackers, in New Street and Trinity Street respectively, announced this week it had brought in a raft of measures to keep customers safe amid national concern about drinks spiking.

The statement from the nightclubs said: "Since the campaign began we, as a company, have worked hard to make our sites - Sin and Bushwackers- safer for all those who come to visit.

"New practices we have introduced include drinks 'lids' as standard, new clear drinks cups on order, on-site drug testing kits on offer in the event of a suspected spiking, the introduction of female welfare officers and training for all members of staff to spot suspicious behaviour and provide care when our customers need help.

"We have also conducted a comprehensive review of our CCTV systems to make sure our venues are as safe as possible and all potential incidents are visually recorded.

"This campaign has our complete support and we understand the severity of this national crisis.

"We are keen to arrange a meeting and invite representatives from the Instagram accounts and others involved in raising awareness to join us and discuss all their concerns and requests.

"We are fully committed to making our venues as safe as possible, and to working with the public to restore your trust in the industry."

It comes amid a rise in concerns over spiking in nightclubs and bars nationally and locally.

Girls Night In Worcester held its first protest on Wednesday asking women to boycott clubs and bars in the city.
