I read in the John O'Groat journal something about a problem with the lease. Can't remember the details.

I heard it's a refurb too, it's well overdue!

Only been in once or twice since smoking ban and gee what a stink, hope they put flooring down that can be washed, carpet isn't a good idea when folk who don't care have a drink

Maybe you should try phoning up Jocky and asking him. You're bound to get the real story from him. ;)

The Waterfront has closed down. One of the sons has moved back to Oz, and the other one has got a job offshore (allegedly). From a reliable source too. Think the refurb story was just a smoke screen.

I have never actually been in the Waterfront in Wick. So am not going to judge it.

But i am sure that we will all find out soon enough if it is actually closed or just being refurbished! :D

The "official" line is its closed for 3 months for a refurb, BUt this being Caithness you know how stories will start!!!!;)
By the end of the week jocky will have been Kidnapped by Aliens and it will be turned into a "Matalan", "marks and Spencers" or something similar!!![lol]

whos Jocky?

Jocky Sutherland is the gentleman that owns the Waterfront Nightclub - not
Lester Piggots brother. Lester Piggot is a retired former Horse Racing champion jockey - no relation or anything to do with Mr Sutherland.

Which is completely different to the 'reliable source' that told me they were closing for January because the trade was hardly worth opening for and Jocky wants all hands to the pumps at the new slaughterhouse in Keiss......

Ah, the Caithness rumour mill...don't you just love it.

And I believe neither of this 2 sons was the one that ran the Waterfront. But that could also be a smoke screen (I believe Jocky has at least 3 sons).

Four..........Three of them still in Wick.... :confused

Anyway - what the hell does it matter? If the official line is that it is closed for refurbishment then that is what is happening...

If it is going to close then there will be another official line soon enough...

Rumour...
Scandal...
Gossip...

Jeez. :roll:

Well, I've just phoned Silver Darlings on 605472 (which is the office number for JW Sutherland). It sounded like Jocky himself on the phone, and, I quote:

" The Waterfont is closed for re-furbishment as it hasn't been done out in 16 years. We're hoping to re-open about March."


Now, wasn't that difficult to find out.[disgust]
Wouldn't it be better to deal in fact as opposed to brainless gossip?:roll:
