The security team

Moohab · 10th April 2005, 09:40 AM

Dear all,

in the recent few months there have been many changes to the security at Cage, I was brought in about 7 or 8 months ago to bolster the security team, during that time the 2 regular security have either been removed or had their nights reduced.

A new security team was brought in for several reasons, many of which some of you commented on to myself about one member of security in particular.

I hoped that the new team would be better equipped to deal with the challenges faced by the venue and i myself feel that my selection was well made.

I would if possible like some feedback on what you think of the security team, the current team is largely made up of 3 doorman, there are 2 that work ver occasional nights to cover sickness etc:

The current security team is:

Andy (aka Scrimmy): The doorman who will grace your eyes on a friday and saturday from half ten, very short hair and has a liking for Hob-nobs (So im told)

Gordon (Me): Brought in as the Head Doorman of the venue, can be found in the venue Thursday, Friday and saturday, the youngest of the security team and the one that always ends up playing "bad cop"

John : Can be found working alongside me on occasion and covers any of the shifts that i cant do myself, the oldest of the security team.

The "floating" doorman:

Ross (aka Big Ross): The 6'10" gentle giants.......enough said

Chris (aka Pricey): I think everyone knows him by now

Criticism and praise both equally welcome.

Ahhhh I thought I saw him in the overgate, but thought I was just imagining things!

That would be our lad! Despite our love of our employment in the "evening economy" many of us also have day jobs, Andy is in the overgate, I work for the inland revenue, John tinkers with cars.

Unfortunately bills have to be paid!

The security team seem good to me, they do a great job and are friendly enough. Security at other pubs and clubs seem to be dicks just cos they can and will pick on anything that's different. I was in yates' in glasgow the other week, the darkness that came on so I ran up to the dancefloor for an air guitar session. There was no one else on the dancefloor so I wasn't bothering anyone but as soon as I lay down for my guitar solo the bouncers tried to chuck me out! Anyway... I digress... The cage bouncers are ace. Especially Scrimmy - he gave me some jack daniels thing on the Rocky Horror night and we got a cool photo of him with a "Bat-Guard" sticker last saturday. To all the cage security, keep up the good work.

I would like to take this chance to say goodbye and thanks to Scrimmy for all the work that he has done over the last few months, Andy has decided to step back and do a lot less shifts with us. Due to other work commitments.

There will be a new regular doorman in place as of Friday.
