Open as normal here . . .

We had a mega party last weekend, so people are still wanting to come out and play . . . been shopping all over in the last two days and all the shops and bars are just as busy.

We've always had (all year round) hand-santizer all around the club and currently we are making extra effort to point it out to people particularly as they arrive in reception - during flu season we have always had a Flu Injection and Norovirus notices up. Another part of our regime that we have added currently is to Dettol Spray and wipe surfaces every half hour or so.

We are not particularly worried at this stage, but we want customers to know that we have it in our minds and that we are active at hygiene.

The virus penetration rate is still very low, lower than a new single man here.

I'm using soap and water to wash hands frequently, especially after touching bits in public, such as handles. I'd steer clear of those sneezing etc though people without symptoms are probably the worst source of infection.

Due to its low prevalence, I'm enjoying myself now, before it becomes higher risk.

This has already been discussed at length...if you type in Coronavirus Clubs into the search box, there is a really interesting discussion there

As for what we are doing....the same as we always do!!!

The club is well known for being spotless, so it continues to be spotless. There is always antibac hand pumps around the club...they will still be there. Our staff have access to alcohol gel behind the counters and always have done.

Customers need to weigh up the risk factors for themselves and see if they feel that potential exposure would have a detrimental effect, i.e. passing it onto a vulnerable older relative for instance.

However, you are just as likely to catch the virus on the tube, on the bus, in a bar, in Tesco as you are in a club as it is airbourne. You don't need sexual contact to catch the virus! Just breathing the same airspace.

We have a busy gueslist tomorrow and a great party on Saturday which is also looking great!!

So it's business as usual at Townhouse Towers! lol xx

I absolutely understand your point regarding the vulnerable, but this virus is no different to the 20 others that preceded it. The media make money from doom and gloom, but if you look at the W.H.O statistics regarding recovery, you will see a very different picture being painted. By all means be cautious and aware, but for the love of God, dont be yet another sheep who has stockpiled enough dried pasta and bog roll for the next 6 months.

We are running as normal.

Main symptoms are a cough and fever. (Never sneezing that's a cold)..

Those with those symptoms AND sneezing AND cold sores AND STDs AND tummy bugs I'd hope would use common sense and stay at home until recovered always!! ..

If you are over 70 with an underlying illness best hang up your swinging boots for a while.

Other than that if everyone uses basic hygiene guidelines and is in good health and not exposed to those with the illness then they should have the choice to attend clubs and continue life as normal. Until advised by the government otherwise.

It will get worse before it gets better.people still take risks and not do basic hygiene think of people who are vunerable. by not thinking. it is passed on touching that supermarket trolley the toilet door etc etc .then that elderly person or disabled child like mine touch that surface then touch their face ......and so the cycle goes on .alot of people have died think of them .their families.

Its not just the flu .its a flu like virus that is worse .a virus they dont know about . IS it worth it?? You wear a condom for safe sex!! So isnt it better to have basic hygiene etc and thinking more serious about this

Exactly. The people saying this is hyped up need to listen to the experts and doctors currently dealing with the outbreaks. Do you honestly think governments would close down whole cities and even countries and risk plunging their economics into recession if this was just like the seasonal flu?

They're are doing whatever they can to slow the progression of the outbreaks so the health care system can cope. And all they are asking of the public is to be careful in the interactions with others, to not take unnecessary risks, but some can't even do that because it's a little inconvenient to them, and so the virus spreads further and more people die.

Wonder how many people have stopped using public transport... You're more likely to catch the virus on a bus or train, where hundreds of unwashed people are jammed in like sardines, touching unclean surfaces, coughing & sneezing in each others faces, than in a clean, well run swingers club, where you choose who to get close to.

this will get worse... just because we haven't ramped up the testing to the levels they are there....

Covid-19 isn't killed by warmer weather, but the flu virus is. If we can have more of the cases spread out over the summer while we don't have to deal with flu at the same time there will be more critical care beds available for those that are vulnerable and need them.

Looked at a club tomorrow as not been since nye but thinking we will stay home, not got the best immune and after seeing a guy all snottied up (I ran on the opposite direction) in the shops today we’ve decided to give it a miss as don’t want to pass it on to the parents if someone rocks up with it I’m bound to catch it

Ref Covid19. All our rooms have always had anti bacterial - viral sprays & rooms etc are cleaned regularly & frequently by our staff. This will noticeably increase for the foreseeable future.

Please help us by using the sprays etc frequently. Additionally there are alcohol gels placed around the club. We request all guests to follow NHS guidelines & increase awareness - wash your hands often.

We are well aware of the prevailing situation & will follow any guidelines as instructed by central government & or local health advisory services.

This is no over reaction, just listen to what the world health organisation are saying and it's not just about you it's about the vulnerable people with chronic health conditions that you may come in contact with, stay safe."

I fit into that category and now spending my 6th day in bed with flu. I'll be waiting until the peak of the outbreak passes before venturing to clubs, of course that's when I'm well again. I think people are not taking this seriously which worries me.

Isn’t it airborne though and lives on surfaces for 3 days? So even if we wash our hands regularly what about everything else, hair, face etc. And although places are wiping down surfaces more often it just takes someone to breathe on it 2 seconds later. Yes most will fight it but it’s the risk of passing it on to parents and grandparents which is a problem.

"If people are sensible then it shouldn’t be a problem. As a group I think we are pretty good at it; before this started, you never saw anyone coughing and sneezing in a club"

It takes 2 - 14 days of incubation period for Covid-19 to show obvious symptoms. Do you really want to risk and have it on your conscience, that you're responsible, unknowingly spreading the virus, to someone who may have contact with someone with lower immunity who has the potential to die prematurely because people being ill-informed or irresponsible members of the community?

the prediction though is that 80% of population will catch it surely if we're going to catch it better sooner than later, all vulnerable people isolate

Would be interested to hear from people who went to clubs last night - were they quiet, did the way people play change, how did the club owners change things etc.

We’re still planning on going to a club next weekend assuming the club or the government doesn’t say we can’t, because we have no symptoms, and no known contact with anyone with symptoms or who has travelled.

We’re of the view that these small business continue to need our support, probably more so than shops because they won’t fall into the categories that are getting things like rate rebates. The health risks are serious but so are the economic impacts if we all self-isolate too quickly.

Too many armchair scientists. If we ALL follow the government advice and keep up to date, we stand the best chance of minimising ALL the negative impacts.

Of course if you have underlying medical conditions that make Covid-19 (rhymes with Come on Eileen) much more of a worry, then stay safe and we’ll see you in a few weeks or months.

well the news today that the UK could be in complete shutdown within the next 20 days could have a very dramatic turn in events. All pubs, clubs, restaurants and entertainment venues to close. All people aged 70 or over to self isolate for 4 months. This is now only going to get worse.

Clubbers may or may not be vulnerable. No we don't have it yet (well no obvious signs but who knows?)

However you are infectious before you show symptoms.

So next time you are in a club and the woman you are fucking is screaming yes yes yes into your face she could well be passing it on to you.

It's not just about vulnerable people, it's about containing the virus and keeping the total number of infections to a minimum. That is how we protect the vulnerable.

Risking the spread of this just to get your dick wet is the height of irresponsibility.

It’s about risk mitigation. I have close family members who are very vulnerable. I need to keep the risk as low as possible. I still have to go to work, until my work gets cancelled, but have decided against any unnecessary exposure. At least at the supermarket you can keep two metres from other people. More difficult when you are in intimate situations.

I feel sorry for clubs potentially loosing money. I am in the same position with my work, and definitely shouldn’t be spending any of the money on entertainment. Apparently I should be spending it all on loo roll.

We had a mega party last weekend, so people are still wanting to come out and play . . . been shopping all over in the last two days and all the shops and bars are just as busy.

We've always had (all year round) hand-santizer all around the club and currently we are making extra effort to point it out to people particularly as they arrive in reception - during flu season we have always had a Flu Injection and Norovirus notices up. Another part of our regime that we have added currently is to Dettol Spray and wipe surfaces every half hour or so.

We are not particularly worried at this stage, but we want customers to know that we have it in our minds and that we are active at hygiene.

You are as likely to catch it on a bus or in Tesco...intact perhaps more so as you've no idea the levels of cleanliness that person has. Or if they've got it but need to pop out.

Those who own clubs keep them spotless, those who frequent are clean and continue their levels of cleanliness.

Type into to Google . . .

'Does Dettol Kill Coronavirus'

Have a proper read not just a skim . . .

---------------------------------------------------

Does Dettol kill the Coronavirus (COVID-19)?

2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new strain of coronavirus. It is not yet available for commercial testing.

Specific Dettol products have demonstrated effectiveness (99.9% inactivation) against coronavirus strains from the same family as the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in third party laboratory testing, when used in accordance with the directions for use. These products are: Dettol Antibacterial Surface Cleanser Spray, Dettol Antibacterial Surface Cleanser Wipes, Dettol All-In-One Disinfectant Spray, and Dettol Disinfectant Liquid.

Given the structural similarities of the COVID-19 virus to the coronavirus strains tested previously (SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, Human Coronavirus), and based on the evidence available to us, we would expect our Dettol products (listed above) to be effective against the new strain. Definitive scientific confirmation of this, as with all other commercially available virucides, can only be provided once testing against COVID-19 Coronavirus has been conducted, following release of the strain by relevant health authorities.

The CDC and World Health Organization specifically advises people to wash hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer as a key preventative measure against the spread Coronavirus COVID-19. A good quality disinfectant will help reduce risk to families. Our Dettol Hand Sanitizers use ethanol (alcohol) as the germ disinfection active ingredient in line with CDC and WHO recommendations.

We have and will continue to stay in contact with Public Health and take guidance from them, based on scientific fact and information which is changing everyday.

Boris said yesterday that it is highly likely that pubs, clubs and restaurants will be closing after next weekend, but I will be speaking with Public Health again tomorrow to see if this will be brought forward for venues such as ours.

For those saying clubs are all about the money, it's a fine line. Most clubs are not big money making businesses anyway. Overheads are VERY high in our game and at this time of year, most of us tread water to stay afloat. We also have overheads whether we are open or closed and it is unlikely that non essential businesses like ours will favour from any government hand out. We are also self employed, so no sick pay or benefits for us while we are closed.

This is our reality folks. We don't just play around at this. We have a venue which leaks money every month whether we have customers or not and we have a mortgage and bills to pay in our private lives.

If we close, which is looking likely, then for how long? There is only so long that a business can stay closed and still pay it's outgoings, before it's not viable. Businesses have contingency funds but they only last a short time. Insurance in our game is complicated and I will be chatting to our insurer tomorrow to see if we can recoup anything through this crisis... I think it could be a 'No'.

So for those who are slagging us all off for staying open, there are lives behind these kinky walls, there are obligations to others and there are potential terminal outcomes. So I WILL NOT be lead by people on here almost bullying clubs who stay open. I will continue to take a lead from Public Health and government recommendation.

I think all clubs will be quieter at the moment but for those who have 'braved the storm' so far, I hope you remain fit and well.

If/when clubs are told to close, it could be a long while before we open again. Some may not re-open at all if it's hit them hard. A month out of business will be enough to shut some clubs down. But when we do, I hope you will continue to support your local clubs and help them get back on their feet rather than attending private parties with almost zero overheads and pocket money for the organisers. We work hard for you guys and this is a time when we will all need your support to get back on track.

This is a game and a bit of fun for all of you, but for club owners this is our reality and our livelihoods and your local clubs will need you more than ever if we have to close.

I would argue that food shopping is somewhat more essential than going to a swingers club.

The owners of these businesses have my sympathy. Virtually everyone will be affected financially by this virus, some in a serious way. But it’s not going away, it needs to be dealt with, and is it really worth keeping businesses open at the cost of lives?

It’s likely at some point that attendance will become virtually nil when a large proportion of the population is either ill, caring for those who are ill, or minding their children.

Better to face reality now and save lives than continue in denial for the sake of a business that will be going under in this climate no matter what.

Absolutely wrong.

While physical contact will spread it, you are more likely to get it from touching an infected surface, sometimes hours after it has been infected.

I think the last post by the Townhouse is an excellent post. It’s their livelihood and business. Just like any other business they are following protocol and government guidelines and putting in any extra realistic policies they can to minimise the risk.

People have a free choice and whilst not displaying any symptoms, are free to choose if they attend or not. As previously stated for my own personal situation I’ve decided to try and lessen my risk of exposure by not attending social venues at the moment.

I honestly hope that if non essential businesses are shut down, that they manage to survive and feed their own families. That this peaks and disappears as quickly as it arrived, and normality can resume as soon as possible, with hopefully the wider general public having a better awareness for personal hygiene.

"We have and will continue to stay in contact with Public Health and take guidance from them, based on scientific fact and information which is changing everyday.

Boris said yesterday that it is highly likely that pubs, clubs and restaurants will be closing after next weekend, but I will be speaking with Public Health again tomorrow to see if this will be brought forward for venues such as ours.

For those saying clubs are all about the money, it's a fine line. Most clubs are not big money making businesses anyway. Overheads are VERY high in our game and at this time of year, most of us tread water to stay afloat. We also have overheads whether we are open or closed and it is unlikely that non essential businesses like ours will favour from any government hand out. We are also self employed, so no sick pay or benefits for us while we are closed.

This is our reality folks. We don't just play around at this. We have a venue which leaks money every month whether we have customers or not and we have a mortgage and bills to pay in our private lives.

If we close, which is looking likely, then for how long? There is only so long that a business can stay closed and still pay it's outgoings, before it's not viable. Businesses have contingency funds but they only last a short time. Insurance in our game is complicated and I will be chatting to our insurer tomorrow to see if we can recoup anything through this crisis... I think it could be a 'No'.

So for those who are slagging us all off for staying open, there are lives behind these kinky walls, there are obligations to others and there are potential terminal outcomes. So I WILL NOT be lead by people on here almost bullying clubs who stay open. I will continue to take a lead from Public Health and government recommendation.

I think all clubs will be quieter at the moment but for those who have 'braved the storm' so far, I hope you remain fit and well.

If/when clubs are told to close, it could be a long while before we open again. Some may not re-open at all if it's hit them hard. A month out of business will be enough to shut some clubs down. But when we do, I hope you will continue to support your local clubs and help them get back on their feet rather than attending private parties with almost zero overheads and pocket money for the organisers. We work hard for you guys and this is a time when we will all need your support to get back on track.

This is a game and a bit of fun for all of you, but for club owners this is our reality and our livelihoods and your local clubs will need you more than ever if we have to close.

Totally agree with everything said here. Clubs work hard to provide a safe place for the swinging community and do so with very low profit margins. What Vicky has said here is a very true reality of running a swingers venue in today’s world. Thank you for being the voice of reason

Using public transport may be essential for some, to access health care or supermarkets. I agree with the advice that it should be avoided if possible.

Going to a swingers club is non essential. How selfish to continue for your own gratification in the face of this problem.

You can tell yourself whatever you like about it being the same as the bus but when it comes down to it, it’s unnecessary and selfish.

Really does make me laugh that people think shagging is the same as sitting next to someone on the bus. You’re in as close contact as two humans can get. You’re panting, you’re touching eachother. People aren’t shaking hands any more and you think fucking is still fine?

Some interesting reading on these forums that’s for sure. Many people make life choices with regards their careers, soldiers, bar owners, those who buy properties to rent. Life has its ups and downs and I’m sure there won’t be many who aren’t affected. 4 weeks ago I was approached to gauge if I was prepared to “ live at work” to live in isolation with a few others to provide power. Make the best of it peeps, it will be a rough ride but with tenacity and a dash of courage we will get through it.

I really feel for the club owners and staff out there though and I hope things improve quickly and they all manage to stay open and survive.

You don't have to be in intimate contact to catch the Corona virus. It can be spread by coughs and sneezes. The virus can live on surfaces which is why many businesses are doing additional cleaning. Most people work 5 days, go shopping regularly, use cash machines etc all more often than they go to Swinger's Clubs. What about all those that have contracted the virus but have never been to a Swinger's Club?

Take precautions yes but unless you or close relatives are vulnerable you are likely to be safe.

You seem to enjoy having a personal pop here. I said there is little difference. If you're goin to catch it you will. Regardless of how or where you spend your time.

I haven't said anyone should frequent anywhere. I think each to their own. Far too many are too opinionated on what people should and shouldn't be doing.

Not personal, addressing my post to any person who thinks going to a club is okay right now.

“ If you're goin to catch it you will.”

Simply not true - look at countries that have locked down non-essential public gatherings - their infection rates are reducing.

We can make a difference to what happens by changing our behaviour.

It is dangerous to be so complacent.

Complacency costs lives. It might not be your life but what about the lives of those you come into contact with.

Shopping is essential

Work is required to earn money.

Swingers clubs, cinemas, bowling alleys, restaurants etc etc are in no way essential.

The clubs will all close eventually

Either voluntarily, or they will be told to by government, along with pubs restaurants and night clubs

No two ways about it.

Whether many of them will ever reopen is a matter of debate I guess.

Following on from my post above...

For those who feel that clubs are irresponsible for staying open until the government tells us otherwise,I do wonder.......

If you are a couple and both of you were told by your full time employer that you had to stop working immediately and you would not get any salary or sick pay indefinitely and you may not have a job to go back to...would you be so quick to walk away from that job and face the possibility of losing your home? Would you wait until you were pushed and the decision was taken out of your hands? Wouldn't you want to try and keep your job for as long as possible to make sure you can survive and you family is fed??

If you're answer is still that you would take the moral high ground and walk away from your job with no income and an uncertain future, then you are a MUCH bigger person that I will ever be and I sincerely hope you are never faced with that prospect

You have my sympathy, honestly. But the nature of your business depends on people engaging in what is being classed by most countries as non essential risky social contact.

Fact is, most of the population will soon join you in this precarious situation.

But yes I understand that you are not jumping at the opportunity to lose your livelihood.

I would ask you this - can you see any circumstance where you won’t go under? Seems to me that a long period of uncertainty and closures is coming, it’s just a case of when.

We fully agree with you on the virus, we should all take necessary precautions and if we feel unwell the self isolation is the best option. You say work is required to earn money ? For the people who own swingers clubs, cinemas, bowling alleys, restaurants and pub are all work for them and in most cases are there only form of income. You clearly do not work in the field, what about the people who do ?, how do they earn money???

We are all more likely to catch this virus either from friends and family or from work colleagues, from our experience swingers clubs are prob one of the cleanest environments to be in, and with the extra cleaning and anti bac, they are doing would feel more safer there than in a panic stricken supermarket wedged between people fighting over toilet roll. It is probably the last place you will come across anyone who is feeling unwell

I am literally doing sums now to see how long we can cover our business and personal overheads before we are in a deficit.

We will be told to close, sooner rather than later I think, but until then, we are providing the means for people to sanitise if they choose to visit and are continuing are thorough cleaning regime. When we close, I know that I would have done the best I could for the customers that chose to take the chance, for my family and my business xx

We also have overheads whether we are open or closed and it is unlikely that non essential businesses like ours will favour from any government hand out. We are also self employed, so no sick pay or benefits for us while we are closed.

This is our reality folks. We don't just play around at this. We have a venue which leaks money every month whether we have customers or not and we have a mortgage and bills to pay in our private lives.

If we close, which is looking likely, then for how long? There is only so long that a business can stay closed and still pay it's outgoings, before it's not viable. Businesses have contingency funds but they only last a short time. Insurance in our game is complicated and I will be chatting to our insurer tomorrow to see if we can recoup anything through this crisis... I think it could be a 'No'.

So for those who are slagging us all off for staying open, there are lives behind these kinky walls, there are obligations to others and there are potential terminal outcomes. So I WILL NOT be lead by people on here almost bullying clubs who stay open. I will continue to take a lead from Public Health and government recommendation.

I think all clubs will be quieter at the moment but for those who have 'braved the storm' so far, I hope you remain fit and well.

If/when clubs are told to close, it could be a long while before we open again. Some may not re-open at all if it's hit them hard. A month out of business will be enough to shut some clubs down. But when we do, I hope you will continue to support your local clubs and help them get back on their feet rather than attending private parties with almost zero overheads and pocket money for the organisers. We work hard for you guys and this is a time when we will all need your support to get back on track.

This is a game and a bit of fun for all of you, but for club owners this is our reality and our livelihoods and your local clubs will need you more than ever if we have to close.

Following on from my post above...

For those who feel that clubs are irresponsible for staying open until the government tells us otherwise,I do wonder.......

If you are a couple and both of you were told by your full time employer that you had to stop working immediately and you would not get any salary or sick pay indefinitely and you may not have a job to go back to...would you be so quick to walk away from that job and face the possibility of losing your home? Would you wait until you were pushed and the decision was taken out of your hands? Wouldn't you want to try and keep your job for as long as possible to make sure you can survive and you family is fed??

If you're answer is still that you would take the moral high ground and walk away from your job with no income and an uncertain future, then you are a MUCH bigger person that I will ever be and I sincerely hope you are never faced with that prospect

You have my sympathy, honestly. But the nature of your business depends on people engaging in what is being classed by most countries as non essential risky social contact.

Fact is, most of the population will soon join you in this precarious situation.

But yes I understand that you are not jumping at the opportunity to lose your livelihood.

I would ask you this - can you see any circumstance where you won’t go under? Seems to me that a long period of uncertainty and closures is coming, it’s just a case of when.

I am literally doing sums now to see how long we can cover our business and personal overheads before we are in a deficit.

We will be told to close, sooner rather than later I think, but until then, we are providing the means for people to sanitise if they choose to visit and are continuing are thorough cleaning regime. When we close, I know that I would have done the best I could for the customers that chose to take the chance, for my family and my business xx"

Just vote with your feet.

Go and accept the risks.

Stay at home and mitigate them.

It’s that simple.

If I was a club owner I would be staying open till the very last minute in order to try and survive for myself and my staff.

Good luck to all.

"We have and will continue to stay in contact with Public Health and take guidance from them, based on scientific fact and information which is changing everyday.

Boris said yesterday that it is highly likely that pubs, clubs and restaurants will be closing after next weekend, but I will be speaking with Public Health again tomorrow to see if this will be brought forward for venues such as ours.

To be honest there’s not many posts or status updates where clubs haven’t been “ rammed” or “ chocka” or “ sorry folks we are fully booked” since I started using fab. I’ve ran a business in the past employing a few people and it’s generally good business sense to put a few quid away “ for a rainy day”. Well the rain has started falling folks and unless you have been running your business purely for everyone else’s benefit and not your own who’s to blame if you now can’t feed yourselves for a month or two?
