"There was talk some time ago about a Brum meet up. However nobody organised anything, or at least i don't think they did. Maybe someone should take the initiative?" Yeah I'd love it if they did no doubt I'd start one and nobody would turn up | |||

"Xtasia FFFF (Fab Friends Free Fun) is on in September - thread in clubs section" From what i gather , single guys are not allowed to this on the saturday. A bit strange as its a social and single guys were allowed to the FFFF social nights on saturdays in the past? On top of this also now only guys with good verifications allowed on the friday? Wondering why the sudden change in policy? | |||

"Saturday nights are usually couples and single women only nights. I think Paul was concerned that if couples turned up and found single guys there, it might put them off. Well it's about catering for all!!! " That's why, I think, it's now spread over Friday and Saturday, so guys can still go. Friday is normally a night when single men are allowed so it doesn't involve changing the way things run, and potentially confusing the regulars. It sounds like they tried allowing single men on both nights but found, for whatever reason, it didn't work for the club. To be fair, it's the regulars that keep the club going. Fab nights might bring in new people but they aren't the bulk of the custom. | |||

It really isn't a sudden change of policy, the last couple of socials that have been held at Xtasia on a Saturday night have allowed Single guys in as one offs. The first FFFF that was held allowed unlimeted Single males access, a section of those single males then went and spoilt it for others by bad behaviour and there were a lot of complaints. From then on Xtasia had to find a way of allowing single males access but being a bit more careful on how many they allowed in. Here is part of the the OP from the FFFF weekend held last Dec, Following the success of the 2 previous FFFF events, we've decided to say a massive "Thank you" to the entire community on Fab for their support over our first twelve months here at Xtasia. We'll be opening our doors "Free of Charge" on the 3 consecutive dates of Friday 6th Dec, Sat 7th Dec and Sun 8th Dec, to hold a Christmas get together for each section of our community. Friday 6th Dec will be for couples, single females and single guys to attend, free of charge, from 8pm through to 3am. All we ask is that the single guys be existing members of the club, so we can control numbers and behaviour. Sat 7th Dec will be for couples and single females only, with no single males in attendance. No club membership required for attendees. 8pm through to 3am. Sunday the 8th Dec will be an open event for Fetish enthusiasts, open to all although single guys must be existing Fet members of the club. 2pm through to 8pm Single males were not allowed on the Sat night then either, so no sudden change in policy. Any questions about the decision should got to Xtasia direct though, as I'm sure they can't keep up with every thread and reply to every thread

Fair comment but as i said i've attended a few of the socials at _tasia and single guys were usually allowed on saturdays in the past for these social events." Paul did say at the time that was just for the socials, he was concerned it would impact their regular business and it wasn't something that would be done regularly. Letting single guys in on a Saturday for a social was an issue for him and something I remember a discussion on here seeking a "solution" for. | |||

And as I said in my post
It really isn't a sudden change of policy, the last couple of socials that have been held at Xtasia on a Saturday night have allowed Single guys in as one offs.
For both those socials, it was stated in the threads that these were one offs and wouldn't be regular "Asking for "single guys must have good verifications" on the FFFF thread is a new thing, not seen it before from _tasia? That is a change in policy is it not? It does beg the question who would allow a "bad verification" on their profile? Will watch the thread and wait to see what _tasia's response is, as it appears a few others have questioned this. | |||

This seems like an attempt to restrict entry to people that can be "vouched" for in some way, in the hope that they will have some idea about etiquette. The term "good verifications", I'd guess, just means that they have meet in person verifications that appear genuine and suggest the person may have an idea of how to behave in a club, and what swinging is all about. | |||

As for verri's, is a way for us to check that a person understands the scene and clubs. We aren't checking they are "good", lol..as pointed out who would put a bad one up, but that they have some, some maybe link to people we know already, or clubs we know understand true swinging, etc. If none, or a couple written last week by others who have only just joined as well, its not really what we want to see. Our aim, to ensure everyone has a good night here, no more than that. | |||
