The operation was the past weeks not flawless. “There are in the later morning a number of brawls, in which the police, with several teams tussenkwam”, Vincent Van Quickenborne. “In addition, we had two police officers hurt. The police for this assault, an administrative report. Based on that I have winterbar Moose stricter closing hours imposed, for a month. The closing hours went last weekend. Since then, rest returned, without any notification of nuisance. It must remain so, otherwise there will be more sanctions.”

Extra security

Winterbar Moose should first remain open until 3 a.m. on Thursdays and until 5 pm on Friday and Saturday. Now is that to 2 hours on Thursday and until 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. That saves a sip on the drink. “There was one heavy incident with drunken customers, which we account for presented get,” says sfeerbeheerder Gerard The Fish (30) from Gent. “Our securitymensen have the police protected, but outside escalated it all the way. We can live with the stricter closing hours and understand it. We do not tolerate violence and have their own security is increased, and during the weekends now three instead of two security agents. We do not complain. There is always a good atmosphere and during the weekends we often have a full house. It continues to grow. The people appreciate the fantastic après-skisfeer here.”
