new Aberdeen club
Jump to: Newest in thread
Hi guys thanks for reading,
I am ask to find what level of interest people from the swinging and adult play community, after the only club in the north east closed, we are no lacking a venue furnished and set up to offer respectful, tolerant, and open minded social club for meet and playing,
I have found myself access and use of the ideal place set over two level, close to centre of town, but still maintains discussion when coming and going.
However knowing I would be putting a portion of capital at risk should things fail, I thought I’d put out a post see what people in and from surrounding area would feel and maybe answer some key point,
1 how many local singles and couple would have interest, join and use the venue regular enough so it isn’t running at a loss leading to closing.
2 would new members be put off joining, if there is a reasonable priced membership fee, eg females £20 years membership and free entry to all nights, couples £30 for the year £10 for nights entry, single males £40 for the year and £25 per night,
3 what ideas for would possible future members have for possible equipment and furnishings, I have my current front runner is a hot tub for 6 or more people,
Anyway any suggestions or ideas please feel free to get in touch
Thank for reading if you have lol |

Sounds like a great idea. Membership fees should be expected and what you have stated seems very reasonable.
As for what to have in it.... Well I guess that's all dependant on what space is available, how it's being divided up and so on. I'm sure you'll have a list of the basics xx

I think you'd not struggle for interest.
Have a look at the other clubs in Scotland as your base line regards pricing and facilitates.
We MUCH preferred Glasgow over Edinburgh. Not to say we wouldn't to back but we'd choose the extra distance for better facility.
If you want our honest feedback why shoot us a PM, I don't want to cause offence to anyone if any of my comments were taken negatively or out of context. |

I would be interested , fees for single males always expected to be higher so not overly put off by what you suggest, although I do think it’s a good idea to do the research suggested above to save potential “it only costs this in Glasgow “ bun fights !! I understand that it’s probably easier to get numbers down there but an explanation may be a good idea!
Hot tub sounds amazing idea , after that some nice open comfy areas for general meeting and mingling and some more slightly more secluded areas for some more personal discussions ! |

"Why can't it be a flat fee for all?
Say £30 for any singles and £50 for cpls?
Always think single guys get the rough end of the stick."
Spot on, would be nice to see a club buck this trend and give single guys a fair deal for a change. |

It a great idea and would like to be so fair, however just from personal experience on this site, it not guys get a bum deal, and more thy do little to help themselves, my profile states I’m straight, yet am give no respect, and hounded by bi and gay guys to a point I’d say if I was female you be lifted for it,
So without controlling the single male number we have no couples and female coming then it would just be a private gay bar |

Cap how many can come in per night then.
Just as many d*unk chicks making an Arse of themselves than slimy guys?
What about the single fems that are not looking to play with other fems or cpls?
I'm talking about cost being different for all
Your more likely to get more through uour doors that way.

I was a regular at the club in Aberdeen until it closed. We would definitely be interested in another club.
G wouldn't be bothered by the hot tub but as long as the rooms had fans/air con which has always been a problem then we'd be up for it  |

Easy way to do that is as suggested cap single male numbers, and if I’m right do you not have to pre book to go to CJs could you not do similar. Leave membership fees as is and have a flat rate for entry.
I head up north quite a lot and visiting clubs is on my list of things I want to do. Never been to After8 (personal choice) but it sounds like you’ve a good idea what you want |

Glasgow |
We prefer Glasgow over Edinburgh because you must pre book (so the very d*unk, spur of the moment types won’t just turn up), the amount of single men allowed is restricted (too many can be very overwhelming), there is much more room in Glasgow club compared to Edinburgh. Something to think about. The distance doesn’t bother us if the club was nice and attracted a good mix of people. |

Agree or give the male members a little something back ie a half price night maybe once a month or a free night once a month since fems are getting in free all year  |

Agree its not very fair but its also a business based on supply and demand. Fewer women frequent the clubs so incentives are needed ie cheaper or free entry for that type of clientele . And its the couples and females that attract most male visitors to a club in the hope of fun. Take away the female equation and its just a pub , may as well stick a pool table and dart board in it. After 8 offers a loyalty card with free entry on 6th visit so thats giving a little back to everyone. As for d*unks being admitted because not booking in , does not happen very often but i have seen lots turned away at the door . Booking in does not stop d*unk people turning up at the door, policing the door stops entry. |

Seriously what's the importance of the elusive single fem?
What about cpls that only play with cpls or single guys?
Or single straight fems?
I'd say flat fee with specific theme nights...ie cpls only or singles only or a free for all night ECT. |

I view the control number by pricing to be weak you control numbers the same as all clubs do now x amount allowed in on the night.
sorry but the differing pricing structure is nothing more than a cash cow |

Have you checked the licencing laws with the council.
I know there was a club previously however things may have changed since then so I would double check everything with the location and the laws before dropping any major cash into it.
Hope there is no issues the more clubs the better |

If you want to see how it’s done go to chameleons in Brum. Rammed from 10am and decent prices. No restrictions on male numbers and I think ladies get in cheaper. |

I think its a great idea .you may find opposition from ex visitors of the old club(female) and couples who didn't like single males going unless they were accompanied by a partner. But I see your more open to that and as a single male I applaud you. |

Yes you could say its a cash cow but its a business at the end of the day . Guys are willing to pay higher prices if theres a chance of some fun once inside. |

Not a case of willing to pay higher prices, no other option but to pay if we want to attend. Yes it's a business but it's a business based on over charging one group to accommodate the lower income from other groups.
And that's not a direct dig at CJ's as I've been many a time myself, all clubs rip the arse out the single guy. |

Or try to find a female friend to go with.
As said its not personal just simply business. |

We would deff be a regular visitor
Think hot tub and sauna is a good thing for the club ..one its so refreshing and gets everyone more comfy but there must be rules as there will be others and hygine too
Prices to get in should be what you say as it is a business so we all want to make it work for you and bring the north east back on the map as am sure people will deff travel if club is good
Am sure there would be plenty people would like to help get club up and running with decor etc
Wish you all the best and here is hoping you get a positive feed back getting you to maybe just give it a go
Oh as we looked through comments .. one did stand out about air conditioning ..its not cheap but deff a must
All the best and fingers crossed others feel same as us

We would definitely be interested in a club in Aberdeen, never did get to the old one as it only ran one a month and dates never suited us.
We live alot closer to Aberdeen now to so should be alot easier. |

What the lady said. By all means restrict single male member numbers to keep equilibrium but why in this day and age should a man have to pay more for the facilities. It's pure bull shit. If I was charged ten pence more for a Mars bar because of my gender I'd be on it like a car bonnet as they say.
Equal pay rights too BTW. |

I definitely agree with the policy of limiting the amount of single guys in ratio even on normal nights.
A club rammed with single guys following people round (the wanking dead/penguins I've seen it described as) would be of putting to most couples or single women.
Certainly we would be unlikely to return to one as such.
The model cj's use where you must be invited seem's to work well, contacting even on the night before turning up.

Hi
Hops a club does open up again this way.
But the old club could only sustain 1 night per month as a swingers night. It ran as a gay sauna the rest of the time. If it wasn't for it being a gay sauna there wouldn't be a swingers night |

We would be interested, enjoyed our nights at the old one. Think some of the previous posts hit the major points though. Lots of single men can be a problem, so some control there. Theme nights were not part of the old club and might stir up interest. At CJ's we particularly like the couples room too, that would be nice, and easier for newbies. |

Hi
Many good posts in this thread! I’m agree with the idea of having the same policy as cj! It’s generally a good idea of having some control over who is expected to attend or not! Not saying it’s going to be easy but at least u have an idea of mix of people Attending!
So looking forward to start attending again as pretty much stopped clubbing due to distance is a bit far off for me! So defy a huge interesting of attending!
Best of luck

Well I’ve been to both Scottish clubs and one in stoke and have to say personally cjs is the best place I’ve been too, love the amount of rooms and the themes that are available the dungeon is great but think lots miss the old place where you could lock the door and have some private time in there experimenting, social areas especially the kitchen for me are a big draw as I don’t play but go for the socialising and flirting if I’m lucky enough to find a decent single guy there, yep I’m only looking for single guys lol well currently not looking I’m quite happy at the minute just socialising, I think single gems and males should be charged the same and membership joining fees, although I do think if individuals have perhaps a loyalty car for another venue then a free visiting member night would be a good option as tbh I wouldn’t want to pay a member fee and entry fee for a club imonly visiting once a year as a change of scenery |

We would love a club here.
Cap the amount of single males. Unfortunately a high number of them ruin it for other single males that are genuine.
Incentives to attract single females.
Would be good to see more younger couples.
A low membership but an entrance fee for the night. Your idea on that sounds about right.
Themed nights. But nothing really cheesy or naff.
A higher class establishment would be most welcomed.
A hot tub only if you were absolutely on the bail with the cleanliness of it. It’s a constant job keeping it perfectly clean.
Medical room and dungeon room. Not unlike CJ’s. Couples and single females room. Couples and single males room. An anything goes room.

You mentioned capital input. Is crowd funding or donations a possibility to get it off the ground and in return they get free or reduced membership for a certain time or life depending on amount.

Like sound we would mayb travel so mayb 50 membership for couples and 30 for each men and women singles 20 entry for couples amd 15 for singles and do a loyalty card also i think more space the better and friendly staff who will chat to newbies instead of them standing like wallflowers |

A club more local to us would be great, at the moment we travel down to Glasgow.
Re single guys, the problem we have found is that some of them are of the mindset I've paid to get in so I'll Shag whoever I want as all the women in here are gagging for me, however if properly policed this could be kept under control.
We'd definitely go if it was set up and im sure others from up here would. |

Now this does sound interesting! If a club could open in Aberdeen I would most certainly join. Membership for single guys could be higher in order to out those who are not really swingers (and I am a single guy). For me the social side is just if not more important than the play .So could there be comfy areas where people can mingle and chat? I wish you success in this venture and hope it happens soon.please keep us all updated ,and if you need help just ask. |

Well going on the ops rational of free entry to single girls and over charging single guys! Who do you think is going to fund the place? I'm no mathematician but if it's 30 females to 5 guys, there's no much revenue getting taken in! So there's a good chance it'll be 30 guys to 5 girls  |

Yeah I've been to a couple of clubs, none of which give free entry to single girls, and yes single guys get charged more and best value for money is if you go as a couple, also makes for a better night as you're more likely to meet, chat and fuck |

Both me and the sexy wife would definitely go. And think the charges sound about right. Not as a thought you could drop the price slightly and introduce a minimum spend at the bar. |

that sounds good i think i would be better if you ask 50 for males and 30 per visit as this would put off fakers in my experience of running a pub ppl want to feel welcomed so maybe a party night now and then with only regulars allowed to show appreciation |

"Hi guys thanks for reading,
I am ask to find what level of interest people from the swinging and adult play community, after the only club in the north east closed, we are no lacking a venue furnished and set up to offer respectful, tolerant, and open minded social club for meet and playing,
I have found myself access and use of the ideal place set over two level, close to centre of town, but still maintains discussion when coming and going.
However knowing I would be putting a portion of capital at risk should things fail, I thought I’d put out a post see what people in and from surrounding area would feel and maybe answer some key point,
1 how many local singles and couple would have interest, join and use the venue regular enough so it isn’t running at a loss leading to closing.
2 would new members be put off joining, if there is a reasonable priced membership fee, eg females £20 years membership and free entry to all nights, couples £30 for the year £10 for nights entry, single males £40 for the year and £25 per night,
3 what ideas for would possible future members have for possible equipment and furnishings, I have my current front runner is a hot tub for 6 or more people,
Anyway any suggestions or ideas please feel free to get in touch
Thank for reading if you have lol"
