"It has a Birmingham postcode"
Not necessarily relevant - lots of places have post codes not related to where they're physically located.
I have a Birmingham post code but actually live in Worcestershire. I went camping at the end of last month and the site had a Derby post code, was technically in Ashbourne but was actually close to the middle of nowhere.
We'll see during this week, I suppose, if anything has changed |

"When Bradford locked down everywhere with a Bradford postcode was locked down, including places like Menston which pay council tax to Leeds. "
In which case it'll be interesting to see how this plays out
Certainly where I live we have our own town council and local county authorities which are completely independent of Birmingham's, and I can't see them being told what to do by another authority.
But whatever happens it probably won't affect me that much one way or the other, to be honest |

"
the new rules only apply to households mixing in private residences. "
People living in lockdown areas can go in a pub but they must only talk to people in their own household or bubble, no one else. |

"I was pointing out that the lockdown rules don't just relate to private residences as you said. They also affect the socialising between local residents in pubs and clubs. "
The new lockdown rules for Sandwell are regarding households, the general rules affect socialising in pubs etc, that's the new rule of 6, you mentioned specifically the Birmingham/Sandwell lockdown which is targeting private residences.

As ridiculous as it may seem take a look at this from Birmingham City council. You can’t meet your family in their home or garden. You CAN meet your family in a pub or restaurant as long as there are no more than 6 of you.

"I take it it's socially distanced, no play outside your social bubble?"
No, it's socially distanced, no play at all purely social. All explained on the club website. Purely open as a social venue for members only with track and trace in place as you have to be a member to attend.
If you read any of the threads here on FAB since they've reopened it states no serial contact and there isn't even 'dress down' at the moment. It's purely a place for like minded adults to meet and get to know others for future meets when social distancing has been relaxed. |

"Xstasia is under Sandwell Council which is included in the new lockdown.
I'll say it again, the lockdown applies to gatherings in private residences. It doesn't affect the club. "
the rule of 6. applies to all in door places as well as outdoors
You have to remain in your group of 6 |

We will be open, and spending the week working out how we get swingers to remain socially distanced to groups of 6. 
We will only be allowing groups of 6 or less in and tables will be set out for groups of 6 maximum, with the 2 meter distancing in place between them.
We will be asking all attendees to dramatically reduce their contacts during the evening, and are trying to come up with other ways of allowing people to express an interest in others, for example phone number swapping facilitated by staff etc.
We are also working flat out to find ways of dealing with Test and Trace that work for everyone coming to the club.
Will update our web site with all new info as soon as we have decided how to handle everything, please keep your eyes on our covid-update page on the club web site. |

It's not lazy, it's a good way of finding out information.
I just didn't want anyone thinking that play of any sort would be allowed at the club at he moment |

Just to check, if we come along as a couple will we be seated with up to 4 other people or will we be sat on our own? We like the idea of coming along to chat with others and make contacts for the future but will be difficult to do that if we are just sat on our own. Thanks for everything that you guys are going, I know it can’t be easy! |

It will be a great night whatever the restrictions are, I've really enjoyed the atmosphere since it reopened, really relaxed and it's been nice to chill out with fellow pervs without upsetting the muggles in a vanilla pub. |

This is from the government Covid19 guidelines website
"If you operate a business or organise events within the affected areas you should take steps to ensure people do not socialise with people they do not live with" |

What exactly are you trying to do here? The owner of the club has already stated they are working out ways of stay covid secure.
Honestly, this is looking like some kind of vendetta. |

"But the rules have now changed since it reopened.
I wish Xstasia and all swingers clubs well and hope they survive this dreadful pandemic and such challenging times. "
But they can open AND follow the rules. I think before you say with conviction that people are breaking the rules you should at least have evidence or have witnessed it yourself, instead you've just decided that they aren't following the rules.
There's something called libel, maybe you should look it up before making such comments. |

"No way is it a vendetta. I just can't understand why people can't read the rules and follow them. "
Which is exactly what the owners of Xtasia are attempting to do.
At very short notice, in very challenging circumstances and to illogical and poorly thought out government guidelines. |

I don't think it's beneficial for any of us to second guess how the owners are going to manage the new guidance here.
Xtasia stated earlier on this thread that they will post further information as soon as they can. Until then, let's support them by not speculating. Guidance will be adhered to and that's all there is to it. How that guidance is applied is down to the owners, the local authority and PHE.

Currently updating our Covid-Update page on the Xtasia web site (Google is your friend). We welcome other advice and suggestions, maybe via PM rather than arguments on the forums, especially from informed folks in healthcare. We are listening and will stay within the law, remaining open to you as a meeting place for as long as we can. |

we have just had a read through. Just so that we are clear, does this mean that if we arrive as a couple we will be seated at a table for just the 2 of us for the evening? |

Do you realise you won't be allowed to chat to anyone ?
So it's not worth going then"
It is worth going, try it for yourselves and don't listen to people who haven't even been at all or at the very least recently.
The people who are going on friday 18th will be very happy to let you know the actually facts of how the night went. |

If you read the website and the post above from the club you won't be able to do that. This is also inline with the Gov guidelines |

"If you look at the clubs website, particularly within the Covid page, there’s a full explanation but if you need anything clarifying it might be best calling the club "
Yes, I've got an email from them, and was just trying to make sure I've understood it properly
Because I'm kind of thinking that if I've got to sit on my own all night I might as well stop at home....  |

Call them up and ask. Better than someone second guessing and giving you the wrong information. Wouldn’t be fair on you or the club |

Enjoy yourselves, everyone
I've just spoken to the management there and because I'm a hubble of one I'd need to sit on my own like Billy no-mates all night, which seems a bit pointless, so I'm giving it a miss
Which is a shame, as I was quite looking forward to it, but I'll see you on the other side. Hopefully.... |
