SIR,

The festive season is upon us with all the commensurate office parties, company outings etc.

Monmouth Pub Watch, which covers all licensed premises in Monmouth and surrounding areas, would like to emphasise that it is important that everyone should have a pleasant time in any pub they visit.

However, this should not be marred by misbehaviour by a small minority.

We would therefore emphasise that anyone causing trouble in any licensed premises will be subject to an immediate ban from all premises.

We would like everyone to enjoy the festive season and provided everyone, customers and staff alike, are treated with respect we can all look forward to a happy and trouble free season.
