The Torquay Best Bar None scheme was represented this week at a parliamentary reception hosted by Lord Rupert Reesdale in the House of Lords.
Committee members Emma Gibson (Green Ginger), Trevor Staveley (Street Pastors), Rob Elford (SHOT BY ROB), James Hopkins (London Inn) and Carol Stapleton (Shadow Security) joined representatives from across the country for the national awards ceremony.
Supported by the Home Office, Best Bar None promotes responsible management and operation of alcohol licensed premises. The scheme aims to improve standards in the night time economy by ensuring licensed premises meet minimum standards.
After a busy few months of photo shoots across Torquay, the highly anticipated BUFF BOUNCERS calendar launch party takes place at The Green Ginger on Friday 11 December from 9.30pm.

Everyone involved has volunteered their time and talents with every penny raised going to Help for Heroes, thanks to the headline sponsor Patronus Security and local businesses who have sponsored a month.
The calendars can also be ordered online at www.thebuffbouncers.com
