allowed to enter the club. The member card was to be ordered from the club website. Guests would be admitted if accompanied by a card holder and tourists would be allowed to enter without a card. The club owners cited a growing number of heterosexual people entering the club just to get a look at the homosexuals, as the motivation for this measure. The member card requirement was put into effect on April 1, 2007. However, a few days later the club announced that it was shutting down, citing a decreasing number of visitors as the reason. April 14, 2007 was the last night the club was open to the public. In the building that used to host PAN, a new nightclub, K3 opened in April 2007. It does not cater specifically to the homosexual community but describes itself as gay-friendly. In August 2008, it was reported that the K3 club would be hosting gay parties under the name "PAN retro", with the first party planned for December 28, 2008. Chain of the Original PAN Clubs in Denmark LBL's division in Aarhus, followed in 1976 with PAN Club Aarhus, and trohugout the 1980s several more followed in its peak in the early 1990s having 6 nightclubs in total, most located in Jutland. During a receivership in 1994, PAN A/S was forces to sell all their estate property and to lease or sell all of their night clubs to avoid bankruptcy. Unfortunately the only night club that was saved was the one in Aarhus, that continued until 2006, where it had to close because of competition from especially one larger and more modern nightclub in Aarhus, also aiming at the LGBT audience. In 1996, 2 year after the closure of the PAN Club in Copenhagen, a man named Thorstein Viggoson opened a new night club with the name "PAN Club" at the same location of the former PAN Club in Copenhagen successfully recreating the image of the former PAN Club, however it closed in 2007 only a year after the last original PAN Club in Aarhus. In 2009 private owners opened a new LGBT nightclub in Aarhus inspired by Pan Club in Aarhus and Copenhagen, called G-Bar (short for Gay-Bar) with a smilair logo as the Pan Clubs. The G-bar nightclub is still open as of 2022. References External links Official site (saying that club is closed) News story about opening
