Its smart,well dressed members,discretely lit,spotless,well equiped,not tacky,excellent staff and massively friendly,excellent dancefloor area.....basically what other clubs only ever to get a few from the list above.
It is massively opposite to chams for example. It is so very clean and newly done with no tacky beds etc. Clubs all have their own selling point really. VA has lots of open play areas so not so good if you want it to be more private for you. |

"VA has lots of open play areas so not so good if you want it to be more private for you.
Unless you have a room in the attached hotel...   the place looks awesome, I googled it and must say I like it.. "
Well don't be last in the jacuzzi is our advice lol
As we stated above we're there on the 24th if you do fancy giving it a look. X |

"We should be there! You'd better come and say hello, you pair of phoenixes, if that is the plural of pheonix!
"
Always fun meeting new people! We're booked in so we are definitely going to be there and we can't wait!
If we're being dumb and don't recognise you don't be shy lol. |

We'll be there this weekend for 'Sunday Sirenz' ... it's been getting busier each month, still a little quiet but a nice chilled out few hours on a Sunday afternoon.
Great chance for anyone curious about visiting a club for the first time to see what its like and a super venue too.

Agree it is an excellent club. Went with friends on a Friday, when the single guys can attend.
Some couples have told me that it can be cliquey. By this they are saying that small groups of friends arrange to meet there and then these groups tend not to interact with others. I don't think this is meant as a criticism, merely that quite a few people enjoy the environment to meet with their friends. My friends love the place, it is their first choice club.
I think the chill out lounge is a perfect place to approach someone who may have caught your eye. Its comfortable and quiet.
This thread is useful, if two or three couples can agree to be there on the one evening.
Enjoy. |

A group of my friend's went to trying somewhere different and although a pleasant environment etc it wasn't there cup of tea as no atmosphere and not very busy.
I think if you like a quieter environment in a less busy club with pleasant surroundings then you'll enjoy this place but it did put me off to be honest. |

Toatally agree with you Diamond. We went there last week Saturday, our first ever club. We found the place to be very well decorated but it was missing an atmosphere.
We found that if you did not know the crowd of people then you were simply excluded or they did not want to approach.
However each to their own.. hope whoever goes enjoys. |

We went last night, only the 2nd club we have been too, but wow..this has set the standard for anything else!
Wasn't as busy as we expected, but still had fun, will be going at least once a month now to make use of the membership.
For those going tonight, hope you all have fun  |

I am not sure it is wise putting in the actual full address of the club, as the threads on the forums can be read by both members and non-members of the site...
it is just ask for trouble... or people gawping.. or journo's..... |

We had a great time! Love the club, could have done with just a few more couples we think but that will come with time.
Can't wait for them to get the hotel renovations going. The club looks great the hotel was serviceable enough. People were very friendly. We can't wait for more of the same please! Only next time we won't be spending so lOng talking about it and more time doing it lol.
Thanks to all those who made our night fun!!!

Very good club, its not in the top 5 in our book for nothing.
It still needs some work, but we know there is still alot to do.
Members of our editorial team were there from the book last night and were in fact playing next to you on the bed Phonenix couple

Cool! Next time tell em to say hi! lol.
Definetely agree on the club. Yes it has some work to do thats for sure but the work they have done so far is great and if the rest follows that sort of quality then its going to be fantastic. Talking to the owners/management about the plans they have for the hotel sounded fantatsic with themed rooms etc.
We found it a very relaxed, sociable enviroment. Quieter than expected but I think thats going to change as the reputation keeps growing. We will definetely be going again!
PS. Can we get a copy of that book? |

You can order it on line, will message you over the details, but if you want to buy it direct (Cheaper, no postage, its a dam heavy book)
We are at Erotica stall B40, and we are also on tour of clubs round the country, the first two are in London, and then we are gradually making our way further north.
We are at Ourplace4fun on Saturday the 12th of November
Club Lick on 26th November
At both events the clubs give everyone coming some raffle tickets, and we give two copies of the book away for free and sell more on the night.
The other clubs planned for the next 4 months are VA, Chams, Infusions and Uptopia but we still have to finalise arrangements with them. |

I love this club and find the staff super too.
It sometimes is a little quiet, but still fun.
It is plush clean and the bar is inexpensive.
They are hosting a weekend Skin Two fetish ball last weekend in Oct and it will be excellent.
Try it is it lovely!

Mrs new and I are club virgins, we wouldmlove to go to one, because to be quite honest we are struggling tommeet like minded couples
We have seen the web site, and to us everything looks so tacky and sordid
We admit it may be the best club based on reviews, but to be quite honest Stanley Kubrick's version of a swingers party is probably what we are after |

We can't vouch for VA, as we've yet to try it, but from our experience you're not going to find an EWS experience in a UK club. The closest we've found is Les Chandelles in Paris |

Yes you need a reasonably good club but its the people and the atmosphere that make a club a success get the right mix and it is very hard to beat. Compare chameleons no exception I think it is the best yes I am biased because I think it has the right mix. Tease although completely different I love the people there. Have been in to some clubs and felt totally out my comfort zone. But you have to try them to experience them. |

Have to say, I get an eyeful of this club on Thursday's when I commute back from London
The queue from the black cat roundabout allows me to check out the club
Interesting use of a red cr to block the entrance to the car park, I guess to keep out unwanted attention in non paying nights |

The thing that oust us off trying it, is sooo many people say it has not atmosphere and no private play rooms. For us its about atmospehere and the people there, that they make the effort to talk. Everyone goes on how Plush it is, sorry but plush dont do it for us, rather have atmospehere. Maybe we will give it a try at some point, as you cant say 100% untill you have tryed it.
I have noticed some reviews though seem to be from the same people over and over again on the reviews page. Counted one couple who posted 7 times in less than 3 months. |

I think its fair to say that this very good club, does have some issues with its layout which initially weren't the best for making the venue conducive for playing...
HOWEVER
The club has listened and taken these points on board, they have moved their dancefloor, the dancefloor area has now been converted into more private play rooms, and there is also a dungeon opening, this weekend I believe.
It can take a while for a club to find its feet, and you're never going to be able to please everyone all the time, however, the key to running a sucessful club is having the ability to adapt, change and improve and doing so by taking on board any valid criticisms that are made.
Fortunately the VA are very good at doing that, and there are several other clubs that would do well do follow in their footsteps.
This is what Fun4Two did in Holland, they constantly added to, improved and updated their venue, and listened to what people wanted.
That's why they are now the busiest club in the world.
We are sure VA will continue to do the same. |

We had a fantastic time. We go out with the attitude of making our own fun so we just had a laugh with anyone that wanted to chat. Spoke to two or three couples that looked abit 'out on their own' ended up talking to loads of people.
Really an atmosphere is dictated by the people there you either all help create a great atmosphere or you don't. We think the atmosphere really just depends on who's there any given night so that can effect any club surely? |

Went last night for the first time for the Skin 2 ball. What a lovely club, the lay out and the decor was brilliant, Staff were friendly. Really couldn;t fault it on any level. |

I'm a fan of VA. Friends first invited me there. Generally nice people attending and non pushy guys. As everywhere you have to make the effort to talk to people, but my experience is that you don't get blanked.
Going this Friday and taking a friend for her first club experience. |
