I've found nearly every club has an average age in their 40's and 50's with a spattering of younger and older apart from infusions as a lot of "party goers" think it will be fun. They don't swing just prance around in underwear. I've always said clubs should hold under 40's nights every once in a while |

Using a Taxi Fare guesstimation web site:
Trip is 18.3 km, 28 mins
Estimated Taxi Fare £40.08 (Average traffic)
Other possible fares
11:00PM to 4:00AM: £44.78
Obviously heavy traffic would increase that. The route use the M5 & M6, both of which are prone to heavy traffic.
Chams have a recommended taxi company for local hotels, but I don't think they'd be any cheaper for such a long journey.
Are you tied to staying in the City centre? |

Chams is about 20 mins from brum city centre and don't think a taxi would be 40 quid best thing is phone the club they would help you on that matter. They have hotel rooms as well if wanting to stay |

"Someone asking for advice doesn't really ask for a sarcastic answer "
Surely he can find out how far it is and how much it is himself
When I go to tescos I don't start a thread about how far is tescos from my house and how much every item costs  |

True but you probably go to tesco every time you go shopping.as this is a swinging site and probably never een to a swingers club they were asking for some information about how far the club was from Birmingham and taxi costs as lots of people on this site have been too.They didn't ask for childish comments from someone who doesn't have a clue about the swinging community |

Take no heed .... if I was you I'd think about downloading uber ... you can get fare estimate and arguing about fare it's set and you pay by card or PayPal automatically at the end of the journey.
Handy to use in many cities, not just brum x |

It does Chams no credit if people who may be members of that club adopt a caustic attitude to innocent questions being asked.
I hope that the people in question find it easier to strike up friendly conversation when they get to the club than they have encountered on this thread. |

I speak as I find and I am not taking the piss ..... no surcharge to my knowledge. They increase fares at peak times or when low driver availability but you have to click to agree before car is sent.
Taxi for me into Brum city center is £12/13 with uber it's never over £10.
Maybe your friend didn't take as much notice as they should before accepting the increased fare. |

If you look in trivago or hotels.com there are often good prices at the village and holiday inn to be had too. .. jct 10 |

I'm 24 and when I've gone I'm usually one of the if not the youngest, it can vary night to night but I'd say you usually get a good mix but leaning more towards a slightly older crowd. |

I have no idea how feasible this is, but if you were not fussed about paying full fare at the end of the night (traffic will be quieter at least), then perhaps a local transport link to Walsall or Wolverhampton and then a taxi from there, would be an option to keep costs down? There may even be direct buses from Brum city centre to Darlaston town centre, which would bring Chams within walking distance |

Right, here's an option for getting there from Birmingham City Centre....
Starting at New Street at 7:15pm weekdays, get the Midland Metro tram towards 'Wolverhampton St Georges'. Get off at 'West Bromwich Central' - its an 18 minute trip.
From the bus station (1 min walk from the tram stop), get the Number 79 to 'Wolverhampton' from Platform S. Get off at 'Darlaston Interchange'. This is a 21 minute trip.
Chameleons is a 2 minute walk from there. Would get you there at 8pm

Another alternative is train from New Street to Walsall then bus to Darlaston. No ideas on times and which bus until I look it up but it`s another option!
