Went past Shhhh... last night, fair few police around, did it kick off in there?

Nope, a good night was had by all. Blit bloody dirty though that place and it has the worst toilets known to man!!
:)

I heard it was raided and several people were spot searched throughout the night. There were certainly lots of police around when we went past last night at about 12.30-1am

why does clubland need to do this, heard it went off fine with no searches, raids or whatever, the only probs where a few technical sound problems

:)Well it is a cave!

How come there were so many police around then? They don't normally hang around somewhere in large groups!

Were they trying to blag discounted group entry then or free entry for turning up in uniform? :hihi:

There were still police around at 5am when we went past again too...

If the events at Shhh/Viod are still being done on Temp Entertainment Licenses - its quite common for the Police to show up and make sure every thing is going ok. I've been at Shhh before when a few Police have wondered in to take a look around - which is very different to a raid.

Police 'raid'

I am co-promoter of Headcharge, and we had an event running at Club Shhh last night.

As usual we had the usual assorted rumours (some more malicious than others) to deal with before the night, all of which were nothing more than rumours (as usual).

One that had slightly worried us was rumours of a raid. We think this might have frightened away a few people. However as expected there was no raid last night at our event. A small number of police came to the venue early on (I counted 3 going inside the building) to check the venue was adhering to the license. After 10 minutes, they were satisfied and left, making (as far as I am aware) no arrests. To perform a raid requires a hefty police presence and new years eve is a demanding time of year for the police anyway.

From 10:00pm - 11:30pm and 1:20am - 2:30am I was outside the club directing people to queues. Aside from the odd police car, sirens blazing and travelling to some unknown destination, there was no police presence outside the club. Various members of the promotion team were outside the club throughout the duration of the even and reported no incidents with police.

Speedwaydan is correct. The only real issues we had on the night were a few sound problems and a temporary loss of power in the Headcharge and Junglist Alliance rooms. There was no raid and no DJs cancelled.

I hadn't heard any rumours before the event this time (unlike last time). Just curious about the police presence and rumours heard while out, down the road, last night and from what I saw when we went past.

I heard rumours a raid was going down, but went past on my way to a warehouse party and it still seemed to be jumping in there. Thinking about it though, the police wouldn't really have any reason to raid Shhh... on NYE than any other club in Sheffield.

As Agent Gypo reported, the police came in, had a quick check, had a chat with the club owners and left. The only reason a police force can justify the vast cost of a full raid is if they find weapons or quantities of drugs. Neither of these are ever found in Club Shhh and the police know that.

we heard rumours that line up was changed and that headcharge wasnt going to be there all false.Had a brill nite we saw the 3 police arrive all they did was walk around and straight out.
Just like to say a big thankyou to all who arrainged this top nite :):cool::D

yeah i only saw three police around for about five mins, was a great night!!

hahahaha I read the thread title and didn;t think you were referring to the club..... i'm a dozy cow! took me a while to figure out what you were all talking about. I think I should go to bed.lol
