"Tried to reply privately but you have blocked couples !" Apologies - all blocks removed now | |||
"Hi all good but not much help if we don't know what area of the UK it's in " Thank you for your comment. As you can appreciate with competition etc out there, the location will only be announced one month before opening. xxx | |||
"To be totally honest with you, i have been to loads of clubs up and down the counrty and in my opinion its the people in the club that make the club not the decor and facilities, i have been to some 'posh' club with no atmosphere at all and some pretty standard clubs and had a great night, so long as the place is clean thats all im bothered about the rest of the night it down to the guest" Couldn't agree more - It's the people that count. | |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
xxx all duly noted. | |||
"I personally can't stand sticky carpets and shoddy mattresses. Prefer the clean, well kept clubs. If it's cheap and tacky on entering it's 90% a certainty it's cheap and tacky throughout. Bins in every room, disinfectant sprays to use prior to using a bed and kitchen towel to clean up. xxxx" Thank you - duly noted | |||

"a licensend bar please , some people like to drink before going in a club, why lose out ...? lets drink in youe club (moderate obviously) instead of giving our money to someone else's pub" But as it's a members club can we have reasonable prices too, since we're paying to get in | |||

"Don't make it couples only. Have at least one night where single men can come in, else you'll lose the single women. I find the 'wet' clubs go down better with people, although I'm not bothered if there isn't a sauna. Theme nights are good, but have some nights just for sexy fun. But like naughty says, you could do all that and it be a flop. If you have a lot of competing clubs nearby you might struggle, which is why its a shame there aren't that many clubs in the North. Less competition. "
There is too much concentration as couples as the holy grail in our opinion.
A club needs good staff first and foremost, approachable,some swingers themselves(even if retired now) and no nonsense, they create the atmosphere and set the tone.
Better food would be a usp in my opinion, why owners assume swingers are more comfortable in a greasy kebab shop than a nice restaurant has never been explained to me. Would it seriously be too hard to get a nice sandwich or salad? HAving worked in catering these are not complicated or over expensive options.
Only one club in the country has a decent dungeon that i have visited, clubf, if you are considering bdsm nights i would visit it, it is a great selling point. As is having a dungeon Master /mistress present to encourage ppl to have a go.

"a licensend bar please , some people like to drink before going in a club, why lose out ...? lets drink in youe club (moderate obviously) instead of giving our money to someone else's pub" It hits all sorts of fire and licencing regulations if drink is sold.Expensive and more likely to get permission refused. | |||

"The benchmark for us is Fun4Two in Holland..." Wow thanks for that - have a reserve budget of £15k for research lol - ooo what a way of doing research - fieldtrips. Thank you.. | |||
"a licensend bar please , some people like to drink before going in a club, why lose out ...? lets drink in youe club (moderate obviously) instead of giving our money to someone else's pub" Licensing laws in Britain for this type of club are more complicated than most imagine. But comments are on board thank you. | |||

You are absolutely right.... Had already looked at his idea but it overcomplicates things. | |||
"Its been mentioned a couple of times, but just thought we would raise it again,,,,, air conditioners, and good ones at that too!!! We are not experienced club goers, having been to only one, although we have been a few times, and although we like to get a little glow on, theres nothing worse than everyone getting so sweaty that you have to call a halt to go shower as everyone is sliding around on the matress covers lol! "Thank you yes totally agree with that...Top of list decent air cond/extracors. | |||
"oh and no fecking fake freco roman deco, its tacky ,80,s and makes everywhere look like a cheap brothel. Not to bang on again about clubf, but the play rooms were designed by a woman and you can tell, soft cushions, attractive murals, themed throws on the bed, the arabian room is stunning, and every room had bins, kitchen towel and disinfection spray" Yes I understand - hence trying to put together a perfect place hey it'll never be perfect in everyones opinion but as close as we can manage. | |||
"I get the feeling that you have not really looked into this properly. You stand a very good chance of being closed down for no reason at all and at any time. Still fancy investing in a "chain?" You would be better off opening in a country that is more tolerant. Just to be clear - there is no law that permits a swinging club and they can be closed down under prostitution laws at the whim of a Judge or your local Police. Selling alcohol compounds the issue as you would be guilty of running a disorderly establishment. Don't ask me how so many Clubs "get away with it" I don't know. But with such flaky laws and lack of certainty you would have to be a very brave person to risk losing your investment to a whim of someone who takes a dislike to you." Actually we already own three deluxe/luxury clubs abroad. Also £15k for research -i.e. travelling. Most of what people have said has already been dealt with. British swing differently to other countries and we've already looked at 15 clubs in the UK and still researching. The general populus is not tacky, air cond, decent smoke area, decent furniture, secure parking, different types of play rooms etc... Said anythin positive or negative would be appreciated. Thanks xxxx | |||

Lockers and changing rooms with decent sized mirrors so that the ladies can see they look gorgeous if they need to change
Shower rooms
Staff that are welcoming

Rooms that are spacious
Some rooms that are lockable
All rooms to have cleaning stuff,wipes and kitchen towel to clean
Perfectly clean toilets that also have a selection of deoderants,hairspray,body cream,ect
A bar area that has soft lighting,decent furnishing and music thats not too loud
A wet area thats set apart from the main club,my personal preference as I prefer dress clubs so don't like to see people walking round in towels among people that are dressed

Affordable membership for couples and single guys
A decent show round for new people while explaining all the rules

"Have air conditioning that actually works, especially in the orgy rooms lol! But i agree as long as it is clean we would go there! You should maybe have a room which has a couple of naughty board games, we have said a few times that it would be a good ice breaker and alot of fun!! xx "We agree with this and you would not go far wrong employing someone as a kind of "entertainment officer" to encourage people mixing and laughing together. It's the hardest part getting through the ice breaker. | |||
"For me and my lady friend daytime opening hours are a really good selling point. Chams opens at 11 which does give friends with benefits a great opportunity to get together in really comfortable places. Also a glory hole is a good idea as many ladies might like the thrill of what it offers! Good luck" Even if afternoon opening isn`t possible, at least open around 7.00pm! I`m no night owl and because I have to be up early, starting my evening`s entertainment after 9.00pm is a waste of time because I`m starting to get tired by 10.00pm | |||
"like most clubs we,ve been to the standard of single men seams to be lacking some of them you just look and think you must be joking mate haha i so want to get my soap box out now and tell you off and give you the beauties in the eye of the beholder speach but that just made me laugh cause its so true, i stopped going

best ones are already taken "Hangs head in shame sings quietly to self " there once was an ugly duckling hair all falling out never got picked last one to be chosen sniff " | |||
"As a single women... let the single guys in, most clubs are just couples on a saturday night, thats no fun for a single fem x "100% agree, I don't go to clubs on a Saturday as I don't play with couples and clubs always limit single guys on all other nights to. | |||

"Look at the most popular clubs in the UK and try very hard to copy the best of what they do and improve on them. You only need to look at the comments about Chameleons in Darlaston to see that they seem to do most things right as it is such a popular place. Yes it can always be better - rooms with glory holes for example, more private rooms. The real test is do people feel comfortable and safe. If you are opening in the Reading area you will certainly be filling a gap! " BUT I do know from speaking with various single women and female halves of couples that the have been discouraged from going to clubs again after going to chams as their first club due to some guys getting too hands on without invitation. Chams restricts its single male membership but doesn't seem to police the place too well. The layout of the club doesn't help - if you have a problem with someone by the time you have got your clothes on and found a member of staff then that person can be gone. It is a great club and I do enjoy my visits there, but I regularly have to remove a helping hand as I go up the stairs and I have been very annoyed to have extra hands on me in open rooms (yes I know its an open room, but that doesn't mean you can latch on to my nipples without an invite) and even cocks waved right in my face and guys putting condoms on as they kneel next to my friend on the bed thinking they'll be next! I go to clubs for the single men, so I'm there on single guy nights and prefer to have plenty of choice. But ones who know and abide by the rules are preferable. Which means they have to have the rules explained thoroughly, which doesn't seem to happen at Chams. So, make sure everyone knows the rules and enforce them - have staff members near the playrooms and make sure that people don't feel like they are being a bad sport if they complain - if someone doesn't realise they've crossed a line then they will do it again. People often say how unusual it is to meet a confident single woman at clubs who likes to play, but there would be more of us if some didn't get scared off on their first club visit. *I mention Chams because this is a rabbit warren of a club which makes bad behaviour easier and because its the club where I have encountered this most. I enjoy the club and my visits there, but meeting a crying woman who feels threatened and inclined to stop swinging altogether after a trip there has made me a little militant on this issue. | |||

" yes...its layout doesnt help, and staff do need to do more i think...they have a cttv cam on the door to the couples room at one club i use, a great way of getting round the fact staff cant be everywhere at once. | |||
"At this time the place/location and name are under wraps.... We are in fact opening the one club and two months later another so all good news for various areas." My advice to you is to have patience. I had some involvement in a new club that opened near me.. and now the club is starting to get the members coming back and bringing new people with them. If its somewhere there are no established clubs you may find it easier but just remember it takes time. A comment the club here keeps getting is how clean it is and that if there is play going on upstairs then staff keep checking. Good luck. Cali | |||
"As a single women... let the single guys in, most clubs are just couples on a saturday night, thats no fun for a single fem x "Totally understand where you are coming from. One visit to a club - the couples only nights are fun. On one occasion though the single women outnumbered the single men - let's face it men do need time to recover | |||
| |||
| |||
"One more thing,if the building is big enough and you have the room,some hotel rooms so people can stay the night if they want to x" Yes there will be facilities for 10 en-suite double rooms and then a further area for 10 self contained units. xxx | |||
"Our thoughts would be a nice big heated pool and jacuzzi........can't beat lots of hands wondering all over in the jacuzzi, a great ice breaker!! A structured layout to the club aswell......some clubs have decent areas but they are tucked away for no reason...... Most points have been raised already: Clean changing facilities A nice social/bar area Clean play rooms Themed nights Good access/parking Hotel/stay over facilities Good luck in your venture......it sounds like you know what you are doing!" | |||
"Ooohh...... and don't forget, that not everyone wants what you will put in. Some want wet clubs Some want dressy clubs Some want a dance floor Some want full dress and no jeans Some want a dungeon/Some don't want a dungeon Some won't go to a club where there is a drinks licence as it allows the police powers of entry Some want a drinks licence because they can't be bothered to go shopping for it Some don't want jacuzzi's/Some do 99% of swingers want decent parking and somewhere not too far away from a town so they can get taxi's if need be. Decent B&B's/Hotels nearby and discrete ones at that. Some swingers want couples Some want single men Some want bi nights Some want TV/CD nights Some want all sexualities to be allowed in at all times.... The list is endless. You will never get more than 50% of type of swingers you like through your doors because the other 50% won't like something that you cater for."  | |||

"I'd say dungeon and themed rooms options, including some fetish inspired ideas, possibly with clothing/accessory loan. Gloryholes can be useful, and some like these, as it allows greedy girls etc, the chance to serve our purpose, when we're in cock sucking mode. Cabins built, with split levels, for cock sucking are cool, such as the higher level 1 where a guy gets his cock serviced having porn playing too. Consider selling some fetish and other clothing, as the markup may be high - tho prices would ideally be leading, rather than extortionate. Certainly some replacement stockings etc, would be great and useful. I like one way mirrors too, where observers can look on - those viewed could have the option to frost or pull a blind etc, for total privacy. My main gripe is the need for id etc, which I may not have if I'm in an area and could call in to a place, to check it out. Good interviewing/discussion with new attendees is important, filtering out those you don't want, and making sure rules are really clear. As others point out, rules are nothing without enforcement. Members could wear ID no's, so that they could be identified, if there are complaints about them. If there's only 1 of something, such as a jacuzzi, then it can be offputting, if there's someone in there that isn't liked or wanted, so choice where feasible is great. Something to consider is to open whilst not 100% complete, so that you can do research on the actual attendees expectations. Targeting your market is important in today's market place, and just targeting 'swingers' may be too wide. Men are very eager, and it would be a pity to ignore that segment, as there are many of us who need them in volume, to be able to pick what we want. Have great quality porn, nothing too dated and ensure it's varied. Cleanliness is extremely important, so have active cleaning staff, as well as an abundance of clean bins that are emptied frequently. Panic alarms can be useful too, alerting staff to issues. Whilst bars may be a potential legal minefield, having great refreshments is important, and a relaxing coffee/drinks area, that's designed to foster social interaction is ideal. Give people showers that they relish using - not the slow drip, drip type, but good power showers, akin to 5star hotels. People that you're attracting should either feel that they're on a similar or better quality standard to those they use at home, their gyms or hotels they stay in. Lastly, some gym equipment could be useful too, as it could allow members to tone up, especially during quieter periods - exercising can uplift the mind, all creating good connections with your establishment and the customers. Lastly, customer service is vitally important. Never having customers feeling that they're taking too much time, if they're chatting is something that some places don't deliver. Having some deep sofas is a great thing too - so that people can really unwind. Good luck!!" | |||

"oh and no fecking fake freco roman deco, its tacky ,80,s and makes everywhere look like a cheap brothel. Not to bang on again about clubf, but the play rooms were designed by a woman and you can tell, soft cushions, attractive murals, themed throws on the bed, the arabian room is stunning, and every room had bins, kitchen towel and disinfection spray" Reminds me of Mystiques as they had a similar room to arabian, also one with a 4 poster bed and a suit of armour, really nice place a shame the local rag ruined it  | |||

"Make sure the smoking area is away from the entrance. Horrible walking through a thick fog of smoke to get into anywhere." I agree, keep the smoking area well away from the play areas. My favourite club has the smoking room in the basement (so the smell rises) and it's next to several playrooms. The only drawback in my view. Make sure there is a powerful extractor fan in the smoking room. | |||

All of the above. Rooms should have bins and cleaning wipes/spray for the covered play areas. Been to clubs where lubes and condoms are available in rooms too which was a nice touch. Some clubs try to put too many rooms in and and in doing so produce rooms that are too small to play in!?!?
Smoking area should be away from main areas. Good music is great for setting the scene too.
Good luck and keep us updated please xx

"To be totally honest with you, i have been to loads of clubs up and down the counrty and in my opinion its the people in the club that make the club not the decor and facilities, i have been to some 'posh' club with no atmosphere at all and some pretty standard clubs and had a great night, so long as the place is clean thats all im bothered about the rest of the night it down to the guest" Think that sums most of it up... just make certain that you have limits on single men coming in on mixed nights as it is a put off if you have 3,4,5 guys tagging you around...also some people go only to couple nights and single girls only... | |||

"a licensend bar please , some people like to drink before going in a club, why lose out ...? lets drink in youe club (moderate obviously) instead of giving our money to someone else's pub It hits all sorts of fire and licencing regulations if drink is sold.Expensive and more likely to get permission refused." getting a licence for a swingers venue is very easy. as long as the owners are open and honest with the council they will get one as in the eyes of licensing the establishment would come under a "minority group" and therefore as long as all regs was met a licence would be granted. | |||

Very dubious to say the least, apologies if I am wrong, I am willing to eat humble pie. " Hmmm business wants attention...and your problem with this is? All the clubs have profiles on here...its a good way of communicating with their customer base. Any good businessman/woman will consult with their potential customers before expanding or developing a new business. Swingers club owners want to get known by, and hear the views of swingers..shock horror  | |||

"Dont make your mixed and cpls only nights on the same night every week. If you have cpls only every friday and someone wants to go but works on friday nights they dont get a choice with any other club. Alternate them or something. "Great idea... | |||

"Although this club has been kept quiet up to now, it is happening. Others know about it, as have I for a while. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go until December but I'm hoping someone will write and tell me if its as good as I understand its gonna be... | |||

"Look at the most popular clubs in the UK and try very hard to copy the best of what they do and improve on them. You only need to look at the comments about Chameleons in Darlaston to see that they seem to do most things right as it is such a popular place. Yes it can always be better - rooms with glory holes for example, more private rooms. The real test is do people feel comfortable and safe. If you are opening in the Reading area you will certainly be filling a gap! " In my opinion chams is a one off great chemistry and a great atmosphere everybody is welcome and a great team behind the club always upgrading and keeping it fresh. | |||
"I think you need to decide what club you want to run, as you will get a million and one (or more) answers here! My preference would be: Do not make it couples only. I play, hubby generally watches. That tends to not go down too well when the other wife is getting little attention! Do not limit singles on nights when you allow them in. I want to play with enthusiastic singles, not guys who think they are gods gift because they think they are the selected elite. Do not cover the rooms in sheets, nets, silk etc. Nothing looks tackier than shoddily themed rooms. Do not advertise yourself as more selective / higher class / elite etc. The reality is that the clubs that do this just end up full of people who think they are better than others. Theres nothing more offputting than a club full of smug self important people talking about themselves in a bar. They never seem to play as they want to portray themselves as above the dirty swingers, as they call themselves lifestylers. Stuck up Hyacinth Buckets the lot of them! Dont go with pretentious dress codes. If I wanted to spend an evening with people more interested in my labels, I would go to an up itself bar in town. Then again, the next person you ask will want the opposite (Hubby would want a club full of 100 Helen Mirrens and just him!)" +1 Also insist on showering before entering hottubs as it serves 2 purposes: Cleanliness before getting in. Removing body lotions from entering the water and creating a foam! Remember COSHH if offering cleaning solutions. Remember your pricing should reflect equality laws! You should also provide access for wheelchairs. Sadly you will have to provide for smokers and it cannot be an enclosed room so maybe well laundered towelling robes for those that can't refrain for the evening. Don't sell alcohol. Don't have nibbles or finger food in the bar area! YUCK! Toilets should be well ventilated, lit and clean. If its a wet club then not much point in a dress code! Although we are all adults and should know how to behave all members should read and sign to say they will abide by and understand the etiquette of the club, however, if there is a problem it should be confirmed by others. I'm sure there are lots of other useful suggestions... Don't have women paid to entertain Same size lockers and rooms for everyone. | |||

"Main thing for us is we never visit a club when single guys are allowed in! Most of our circle of friends don't either. We prefer not to have singles of any flavour when we are at a club. Perhaps you will bow to the many, many singles on sites like this and allow all in anytime, but that would exclude us, going on our experiences.. On club nights, single women are not paying their way and single guys pay over the top, not really fair! And as I don't consider them swingers, they should perhaps have their own night of singles only. After all, singles meeting singles is dating, isn't it, not swinging? I know our view won't be popular with the ladies because I mentioned them paying their way but the guys would like a drop in entrance. I know some couples like the singles, but not for us, I'm afraid! " I fail to see how you equate singles meeting singles as dating ...... that would equate couples meeting couples as cheating in my eyes.  | |||

"a licensend bar please , some people like to drink before going in a club, why lose out ...? lets drink in youe club (moderate obviously) instead of giving our money to someone else's pub It hits all sorts of fire and licencing regulations if drink is sold.Expensive and more likely to get permission refused. getting a licence for a swingers venue is very easy. as long as the owners are open and honest with the council they will get one as in the eyes of licensing the establishment would come under a "minority group" and therefore as long as all regs was met a licence would be granted. not sure where you get that idea from...about minority groups but its not ture... yes getting a licence is not difficult as moral objections cannot be used to turn one down, however the regulations for selling alcohol, from fire regs through to getting the sales licence are far stricter. More hassel than i can see it being worth for any club owner. its taken straight from the licensing act. and in fact there was a media article a year or two back which followed a cubs battle to.get a licence and a judge granted on the grounds that it would not be a normal licensed premises but intact one that catered for a minority group of society. ill see if i can remember where i read it x" you can get round this as everyone pays to be a member its a members only club, like a social club so any drinks sold is really a donation. you dont even need a licence to serve it as because you pay a membership you own the beer already and thats how you get out of the licneceing. | |||
