New hopes for former Douglas pub

Hopes Pinewood can re-open next month

There's fresh hope for a former Island pub, which announced it was to close last month.

The newly-established Pinewood Social Club hopes to take over the premises in Pulrose, which owners Heron & Brearley decided to shut on financial grounds.

The group, headed by retiring South Douglas MHK Bill Malarkey, will have its case heard by the Licensing Court next month - with a view to re-opening the venue in mid September.

Membership forms for the 'community-led' club are available now from Pulrose Post Office.
