We think the idea and the concern is a totally valid one. There are alot of closed clubs on the list
We can add to the list above, equally perhaps a list of the clubs that have closed permanently would be just as useful, and people can add to both. Perhaps someone could start a topic headed clubs updated list 2012, people could all add it. And then it could be re-posted in a folder alongside it. Just a suggestion.
We would be careful about the house party thing though. You could classify the clubs (As we do ourselves) but we doubt Fab would want to go to quite so much trouble on their official list, which is fair enough. The other thing is that there is a very line on seperating a house party from a professionally run club. We would argue that, any party run in a house which is purposefully dedicated to adult parties, as a minimum at least once a month, has a website, and takes money off you for an entrance fee, by donation or otherwise, is still a club. It might be a different type of club, but its still a club.
Some house parties are actually pretty good, if not even better than some purpose built clubs, and obviously, some are not. Many clubs are based in private residential premises but also don't like being described (or classified) as a house party.
It would be good to hear others views on, especially our good gentleman from the Wirral here, but thats our take on houseparties.
Adding to the list on the same basis as he,(We've been in the last six months or know someone who has) and not repeating names already mentioned we can put down:
Vanilla Alternative, Sandy, Near Bedford
Liberty Elite, Lutterworth, Near Rugby
Utopias, Malton, North Yorkshire
Club F, Stanley, Near Durham
La Chambre, Sheffield
JayDee's, St Neots
Tease II, Alconbury
Infusions, Blackpool
Ourplace4fun, Alexandra Palace, North London
F Club, London (Though this is moving shortly and re-opening under a new name in Vauxhall)
Junction II, Southampton, but currently under threat of closure, and last statement said they will close at the end of the summer.
The Lodge, Glouster
The Office, Bristol
Rios, Kentish Town, London
Bristol Gardens Spa, Brighton
Eurekas, Kent
Pleasures, Kent,
Secrets, Devon
Adventures In Lust, Stoke On Trent
The Attic, Derby

There's a few more, think we missed a couple, just doing this from memory and within the six months thing.
