We were considering setting up a Whattsapp group last year but struggled with how it would work because we are pretty certain that a lot of sites would frown at our ‘preferences’. I actually had an idea of arranging a campsite. Letting everybody know where it was and asking everybody to wear a tiny, discrete item, such as a tiny enamel PIN badge. The pin badge would be entirely innocent and nothing to do with swinging. Everyone’s pin badge would be in the same position (maybe left lapel etc) but totally different. That way, we wouldn’t stick out as swingers (with matching badges) and would blend in with ‘normal’ campers. A good example of this is BALA Lake in Wales. There are a few sites dotted around BALA but the village is very small and really only has 3-4 proper pubs. This way, those that wanted to meet others for ‘fun’ would (at some point) possibly bump into other people in the pubs who enjoy swinging. If you don’t want to swing, simply remove your badge. My idea was that everyone in the group would have to show a certain number of verifications from previous meets (to enter the WhatsApp chat). Whilst this verification system is not 100% perfect in ing out timewasters or newspaper reporters (Yes, the Sun was at Swingfest, Butlins and a couple of other swingers gigs last summer) it helps a bit. We are planning a busy year of camping this year so are still considering setting up such a group. If we did set one up there would obviously be some rules so that the odd idiot doesn’t spoil it for others. There would be no real group hierarchy, but the group admin would have the ability to boot those who upset others. It’s just an idea at the moment and I’d love to hear your feedback to this post, even if it’s negative feedback. If I ever did set up a group it would be on Whattsapp. Everybody would be free to comment. Everybody would be free to join as long as we were sure they were who they said they were. There’d be no rules that you had to show faces etc but you would have to verify somehow through fab that your WhatsApp number was linked to your profile. Those who were sceptical about revealing their own number would be welcome to use another (second/temp) number as long as it would correlate with your fab profile.
What’s your thoughts all? |

Forgot to say…as it’s the Christmas period (at the time of writing this) we don’t expect there to be much uptake on this topic for the next few weeks, but it would be good to ascertain if there is/was any interest. |

Yep sounds good! We plan to use the motorhome at every opportunity in 2025 so would be great to meet up with like minded people on our travels  |

We might give this a go and set up a Whattsapp Group. Does anybody have any ideas what you’d like to see in the group?
Should we make it solely for Camper Vanners or should it be open to people
In tents? If we are going to administrate it then we’d insist it would only be open to verified fabbers.
Any suggestions guys? |
