 | My husband and I have been regulars at the Attic sonce January 2011. We were completely new to the swinging scene when we first went and what a daunting experience it was!
We were warmly welcomed by Ron and his team as it was then and we took to it like a duck to water - what more can be said than we were instantly hooked.
We continued to go most weekends and every greedy girls night for the following eighteen months and sadly to say it spiralled downhill as the months went on.
There are a number of things that I feel I should point out about the Attic - all of which are meant with the greatest of respects as a means to help put things right.
THE HOT TUB - This started off as a beautiful venture for the club, a sparkling clean environment for people to relax and socialise - sadly it became known as the 'swamp' as time went on. The smell was most unsavoury at the best of times.
ALCOHOL - Although this club does not have a license you are invited to bring your own drinks and label them - on numerous occasions our drinks would go missing.
DOMESTICS - What started out as a friendly social club soon switched into a place for certain people to air their dirty linnen with weekly domestics - it really isn't what you want to witness when you have come for a sexy night out.
DRESS CODE - It clearly states on the website the dress code for for men an women and how the managment of the Attic expect this to be adhered to. We would see many men arriving in scruffy clothing, shorts and flip flops, dirty trainers and in many cases still smelling unpleasant from a days work. Where most of the women in the Attics defence dress to impress there were some that appeared unkept too.
APPEARANCE OF THE CLUB - It really did get to the stage where we felt as long as it was free or very cheap 'it would do' in form of decoration, upkeep etc. This club could be absolutely stunning with a little money given to the place.
PESKY MEN - There have been a couple of occasions where I personally have been the victim of pushy males - on one instance a man tried to push his penis into my mouth whilst I was on a bed with my husband without asking - in fairness I did report this to Ron and he did give this rude man a warning.
THE NEW BUILD - We really wish Ron and his team all the best for the extension - but I state with sorrow I feel it is not the right thing for this club - barely being able to fill the existing parts rings alarm bells about extending. When we first began attending the club it was always busy and vibrant, the numbers just dwindled as did the atmosphere.
2 ENTRANTS - I am aware of a three males who turned up a few weeks ago arrived with two full bottles of whiskey and were allowed entry. They proceeded to smoke drugs in the toilets and were then asked to leave - this could have easily been prevented with a membership fee and warning bells should have been rung with the presence of two bottles of hard liqour!
We have also been to two other swingers clubs and found them to be a totally new experience, the staff dressed in Moulin Rouge attire, immaculate hot tubs scented of the appropriate chemicals, decor to the highest of standards, men with the correct etiquette etc - once we had experienced this we had fully made our mind up never to return to the Attic.
I really want to express to especially Ron and Malc that none of this is said out of malice - in fact we think fondly of you both, however, we just don't feel that the regulars are coming first - it seems to be as long as the money is taken on the door it is all that matters. As someone who has been weekly for eighteen months I have experienced it from a first hand customers point of view and I hope that you listen to these concerns.
I wish you all the best for your future and the new extension - but we truly feel until the issues with the exiting building are ironed out the outlook for the extension is bleak.
