THE Zero Project is offering an alternative this Hallowe’en to trick or treating by holding one of its successful under-18 club nights at Club Neo in Stars Lane, Yeovil, on October 31 from 7pm to 11pm.

To get young clubbers into the Hallowe’en party mood they are encouraged to come in fancy dress with prizes for the best boy, girl and group.

There will be music with resident DJ Clifty with his mix of urban favorites, Funky House and Ibiza style dance anthems, as well as live performances by London hip hop star Rising Son, and local artists Connor Solle and Plodge.

Zero has been successfully running under-18 events during school holidays for the past four years, and has the support of the police, the district and county councils, the NHS, REACH, local schools, youth organisations and parents.

Though the Zero Project has failed to take off in Chard and Crewkerne, the events in Yeovil have been a success with hundreds of youngsters attending.

Cllr Ian Martin, of South Somerset District Council, said: “The Zero night at Club Neo really is the coolest place for 14- to 17-year-olds to be for Hallowe’en this year. Be safe, enjoy, have fun!”

The project promotes zero tolerance to alcohol and anti-social behaviour, and safe routes to and from the club.

The Zero team endeavours to ensure a safe passage to the nearby Stars Lane car park at the end of the evening.

The Yeovil Street Pastors are also on hand to assist and help ensure that clubgoers reach their lifts and homes safely.

Entry costs £5 on the door for youngsters aged 14 to 17. Information about forthcoming and past events, as well as a photo gallery, can be found at www.facebook.com/zeroclubbers.

A further New Year ‘Snow’ party is being planned for Wednesday, January 2, at Club Neo in Yeovil.
