I cant really speak as an unbiased person as I work there but numbers wise its fairly consistent on Friday and Saturday nights (25:25 guys and couples on Fridays, 30 couples on a Saturday). The couples membership is still on offer at £15 if this applies to you.
Coming up there's a naughty schoolgirl night on 22nd so fancy dress optional and the club will also be celebrating its 17th birthday in December. |

Only been once and was disappointed. Quiet for a Saturday night and found it hard to mingle (I usually have no problem going up to people to chat). I'd go again, just to be sure that it wasn't just that night. Staff were great tho. |

"Is there a membership pass system?
For simply Single Guys I may visit...."
There's no pass system but membership is £25 and at most entry fee is £25 on a Friday night or £20 on Sundays and bi nights. However you do have to take the membership which lasts a year |

Last time i were there was 2007.seems numbers have dropped a bit since then. Keep saying will visit again but told the club's got a bit tired looking and needs a revamp.
Our problem is, it's so far away a year's membership is a waste of time as we would only visit once. It's time they did like other clubs where a newbie cam visit 9n centre without paying membership. |

Its not that single guys aren't wanted, we just don't do non member entry whether you're male, female, couple or anything else. Everyone has membership and at least its not extortionate compared to some clubs |

the benefits of being a fully licensed private members club also in our opinion do warrant the cost of membership, realistically it is a cost that some might not like but its the price of a decent takeaway or a trip to the cinema for the membership for the year |

There are parties that occur at la Chamber that you Don't need membership for... if you are wanting to visit the club to see if its worth paying for membership.. I advise you go then.. Its a great club and well worth a visit |

We wanted to visit this club while we we're in the area, we phoned to explain we weren't local and wouldn't likely to come back so could they waive the membership for one night only. However the answer was no.
So we drove to derby and went the attic for a good night
Pity cos we fancied checking out la chambre |

I'm sure the membership price has dropped slightly since last time we went a couple of years ago which is a good thing , could it be that more and more are meeting at home now ? As we do , sign of the times x |

The theme nights are usually pretty busy and fun !! Try it - you might like it
It's a relaxed club with no pressure to do anything you don't want to do.
We have found everyone friendly and welcoming.
Come along and judge for yourselves :D

We was members for around six years we enjoyed visiting but it then got a bit clickey so we haven't been for around three yrs, Since not going we have been to a few clubs and found most let u in as a guest or charge a membership charge for life, Maybe Barry and Marie need to think about doing similar, Maybe we will visit again sometime but £50 entry fee including membership is a lot to find in the financial instability and tensions most people have these days xx |

Couples membership is on offer for only £15 but everyone has to pay membership which expires in your renewal month. If you join in January 2014, your membership expires the following January 2015. If you don't return until October 2015 your renewal will only take you to January 2016. It makes the most sense to renew on time and get the full year out of it |

"Do u not have to be affailated too .....is it a part of the membership to or am I best just takin Sue the...(Jane)"
If you join as a couple, you wont be allowed entry as a single guy without paying the difference in membership prices. You don't have to married or whatever to join as a couple but you are expected to play as a couple, more so on the Saturday night than the mixed Friday or Sunday nights |

Afraid everyone has to pay a membership even if all you want to do is come in for a drink. Once that membership is taken out, its valid for a year or until the next instance of your renewal month (as explained above) |

You have to play as a couple while in the club. Whatever you do outside of that is none of my business |

We regularly visit La Chambre on Friday nights - always have a good time. The single men are respectful and, for us, add to the enjoyment. We find the staff friendly and helpful too. We were happy to renew our couples membership at such a reasonable price. Also if you visit on a Friday or Saturday the Sunday is free. |

" Everyone has membership and at least its not extortionate compared to some clubs"
One of our regular clubs has no membership fee for couples, another had £5 for life membership, membership fees put us of going to a lot of new clubs, this one was recommended to us by a few couple we have played with, when looking into it 1 visit would cost us £50 plus a nights hotel due to distance, could this club and others not offer a 1 night only or 1 months trial pass? |

We are members and we travel from Scotland 2-3 times year, we think £15 is pretty good value as you as their are plenty of playrooms and a licensed bar, hoping to visit soon and we have booked hotel for June next year,
This suits us as a couple, B&J x |

We haven't been for a few years, our membership used to start in November if we came next weekend and paid our membership would it run out at the end of this month like it use to, think a years membership should be a year from when you pay, that's one of reasons we stopped going, shame because we use to like this club, but there is plenty of choice of clubs to visit now where you don't feel cheated. |

Its to encourage people to renew on time and make the most of the membership although I can see why it can get confusing |

Or to put it another way, if you`ve been a member and for any reason you are unable to attend and renew your membership, you get screwed for membership you couldn`t use! Great! |

You just renew at the point you can turn up. Or renew by contacting the owners and sending a cheque. |

OK, you can send a cheque - how many people have these nowadays? I couldn`t tell you were my cheque book is. But as for the bit I`ve quoted, going by what you`ve previously said, if you delay your membership renewal at the time you turn, you lose out! That`s the same as having a taxed car on the road, not using the car and renewing the tax for six months and then having to pay tax for the six months you didn`t use the car when you come to renew the tax again! Imagine the outcry if the Government did that! |

eh? we have been members since 2010 and our membership has always run for 12 months from the point of renewal, if u cant attend in the 12 months that you have paid for then that's hardly the clubs fault!
its not like its £100's, 12 months membership gets you 12 months membership anywhere so cant work out what the problem is, we have never been asked to pay for months that our membership has lapsed |

To use your analogy correctly:
January through to June your car is SORN, you're not paying anything but your not using the car. July you tax it and are able to use it, but the tax is one fixed rate for everyone that lasts at most 12 months |

I'm pretty sure if you asked the owners you could do a BACS transfer or faster payment for the sum of money for membership too. Unless you don't have a bank account too |

Give the guys and gals a break...its not easy running and maintaining a club...ive not been to this club in many years due to being down south but plan to make a visit soon...when you think of the costs of running a club then yearly membership is not bad at these rates...if there was no club local to you im sure there would be another thread moaning about it...hats off to club owners and their teams...support them all you can... |

"people are quibbling over very little money, its mad how ranty people get over £15 a year, its less than 5p a day throughout the year "
£15 is a small amount for a couple compared to what some clubs charge a single male though I can see £15+£20 adds up for some it might bring fresh members in if there was a discount for the night you join its only a suggestion mind. |

Wuh?
Screw that!
So, if we join in Jan2015, visit a cpl of times in 2015, and then dont go back until 2017, are we gonna have to pay for the membership in between? |

To give you another scenario - you CHOOSE not renew straight away for whatever reason then find yourself in a position say six months or more down the line find you want to renew, you still lose out, doesn`t matter if the membership is £15, 15 pence or £150, you still lose out! Perhaps now you can see my point!!! Better to not bother until the 12 months of membership has lapsed |

as far as we are aware you get 12 months membership from when you pay it, if you pay on 18/11/2014 then it expires on the 17/11/2015, if you then don't get back to renew till 20/12/2015 for example, then it expires a year later on 19/12/2016!
this is how it has always worked for us |

No, your initial year membership will have expired that's all. You'll renew in 2017 and that will be valid until January 2018
Other months are available. Its done by the month you join |

You've lost out compared to people who have renewed on time in terms of opportunities to attend before membership expires. But if that's the case, you haven't been attending the club so you haven't been paying the entry fee that other people have. You've saved that money |
