Some weeks ago Mello Mello, on the corner of Slater Street and Parr Street launched a new community scheme for supporters to buy shares to help buy the building to secure the future of this special venue, but they have been informed by the administrators that a higher offer for the building has been received.

We urge members to campaign strongly to retain this unique establishment
