VENUE: The Club 147/Gorilla Warfare site in Walkden AN illegal horse racing gathering - at which a man died - has led to a licensing review for a Greater Manchester venue. Paul Lees, 61, was found collapsed in the car park of Linnyshaw Mill in Walkden, according to council papers. He is said to have been at a 15-strong gathering at the former Club 147, now trading as Gorilla Warfare Gym, but left at some point. Police say the meet-up on March 19, during the third lockdown, was banned under Coronavirus Act legislation and licensing officers have lodged a review application with Salford Council.
