I’ve been in 6 different clubs in the north west and 1 in London. I have never had to produce photographic ID of any kind. A new club has opened & insists on seeing ID before entry. Can anyone explain the precise legal discrepancy here around entry policy as it is really intriguing me & I can’t get to the real nitty gritty of the situation . |

Yes its a legal requirement to check ID of non members who are using a private members club.
There have been quite a few venues that have fallen foul of the law and lost their licenses.
Bear in mind alot of venues have licenses and its in thier interest to keep them. So asking to see some ID is a small price to pay.

Basically yes. I believe it is a condition of their licence. Any good club would operate within the law. If not why not? And are they putting their customers at risk. |

but they also advertise it as no membership required so surely the authorities would be closing them down ? |

Is this an axe you are trying to grind with a particular club? I don't know how some get away with it. Maybe the authorities don't know. Maybe clubs in the NW that don't require ID can post on here with the reason why. |

absolutely not . It just puzzles me how the policy seems to be all over the place & there apparently is no proper answer |

I'd hazard a guess that with wanting to see id they are just making sure that your over 18/21 depending on the policy plus if you were to say go to a normal non swingers club who asked to see id would you be questioning them |

"if you want to join a club you have to show id."
not talking about joining, the question is about attending. Not every club does. The question is about the precise legalities.

People are getting confused again and complicating the question. This is not about morality, what someone has or not to hide , wether your happy to give your ID or not. Simply some clubs demand it stating it’s a requirement and some don’t. Is this personal a choice by the club or are the clubs that don’t require it breaking a law. Maybe the terms of licences are different in some area or maybe it’s the facilities on offer that allow clubs to operate differently. |

I totally get what you are asking. Take 3 clubs in the NW. Townhouse, Cupids and Amours. Townhouse - membership ID needed. Always asked for it upon entry before I got a membership. Cupids and Amour - never asked. Been numourous times to both. So why? Is it the terms of the licence?
Could anyone from these clubs comment to shed light on the matter.

We’d rather attend clubs where they do stick by all the rules & check membership etc. Makes us feel that bit safer & if out goes wrong then they can be held accountable. Don’t know if clubs hold different licenses are just aren’t all legitimate |

"Most good clubs will require photo Id I’ve been to good clubs that don’t
Sorry I should of said all well run clubs would require photo Id "
ive been to very well run clubs with no ID requested. All of them with reviews on FAB |

It could well come down to the terms of the license. If the local authority doesn't consider the club a private members club then they don't need to see ID.
We've been to eight clubs and have only been asked for ID at three. |

it does some to vary. As an inquisitive person I just like to know the fine detail of these things ( boring I know but it’s a real puzzle to me ) |

I might be wrong but half of the OP’s original point has been missed.
Some clubs have on their website that to gain membership when joining (and attending the first time), single men please bring ID, but no mention of it under the single female and/or couple paragraphs of the membership tab.
Are single males seen as some high risk?
No I’m not trying to initiate a witch hunt, just highlight an anomaly I’ve spotted on at least one or two sites. |

ive noted that also . Equally in any other area of commerce the price structure would be viewed as highly discriminatory & opportunistic on gender ! |
