"Whilst this happened shortly after we closed its very evident via our CCTV footage that this could have been substantially worse if any of our valued customers or staff had been present.
“Our club was attacked by four masked intruders, appearing armed with weapons evidently targeting any cash we may have been holding overnight. The building sustained reasonably significant damage.
