Partners - Anyone else had problems?

28 Nov 2005

Took Missy up to Manchester on Friday and we took the opportunity to visit Partners in Bury.
We had a great time there although the evening was spoiled aound midnight with the arrival of a gang of people in their early twenties (max). The group (3 girls and 3 guys) were obviously not swingers (underwear worn at all times - even in the jacuzzi!) and were extremely LOUD and drunk. Our group scene in the maze was interrupted with the comment "mine's bigger than that" (felt sorry for the guy referred to) which brought the playing to an abrupt end. We also heard they had commented loudly on the shape of some of the women there - in fact they had loud obnoxious comments about most things/people.
I know it comes down to money in the end (3 couples = Â£45) although many of the genuine people we spoke to said they would not be coming back and a lot of them left there and then. We were also led to believe that this was not the first time these morons had been let in.
It just goes to show that couples can also be arseholes - it is not exclusive to single guys who were all just great.
Thankfully these idiots arrived late which meant that most of the evening was fun (hello Steed and Emma wave

). Just wondering if anyone else has had problems like this in Partners as we do not want to make another 250 mile journey if this is a regular occurence?

Hi David

I have never been to Partners but surely if there were people making a nuisance of themselves someone should have gone to the people on the door and made a complaint about them and got them evicted....
When someone is being so rude and obnoxious it just spoils everyone else's fun....I'm so sorry you had to go through it!!

we had our locker broke into once and told them on the desk and never heard nowt ,mind you nothing was taken .

Hi Helen :kiss:
We did complain to the guy on the door.
His answer? "Yeah I know"
As I said we gathered this was not the first time they had been allowed in.
Not trying to put people off the club (believe me we love the place and we had a great time) but just feel people should be aware of this.
Never come across obnoxious couples before confused

I find it unusal when some clubs are just not bothered - it is such a short term veiw to have. They may get Â£40-Â£50 that night, but putting off regulars and genuine people loses them more in the long run. The clubs I go to have always dealt promptly with the rabble on the odd occassions they have managed to get in.

That's what we were so disappointed about PL sad

There were complaints and the place really emptied out - one couple had only been there half an hour, got changed and they just got up and left again. But the management didn't do a thing to either warn them or hoof em out.
These morons practically emptied the place - fair enough, if they stayed in the bar area and kept their obnoxious behaviour to themselves, but they didn't. They were charging round the play areas shouting and bawling, making stupid comments and generally being a complete nuisance evil

The guys could barely stand up they were so drunk. It was all so ridiculous.
I'm just thankful that they didn't turn up earlier and totally ruin our night cool

We would go back there again, cos the first time we went we had a brill time - well we did this time too, it was just the end bit that put such a dampner on it.
So if the management aren't going to do anything about it, keep taking that extra Â£45 - then I'm damn sure I'm gonna let people know about it until they sort it out! :evil:

I think I have encountered the same rabble in partners a while ago before I stopped going because the door team wouldn't do anything about a pack of Vultures who kept hammering on the door to the locked private rooms, they wouldn't stop following or touching me even when told no, just wouldn't leave us alone basically. The management weren't interested.
Then there was another time when I nearly got hit in the changing room cos two people were having a row and a guy stepped in to put his two peneth in, then another, then another.... The management did nothing then either.
After those two events happening I said I'd be reluctant to return because of their attitude being so blasae.
I think they should start taking note of their dropping numbers and think the reason people stop going is they don't feel very safe there. Maybe once they start actually giving a damn about the people instead of the cash in the till, it will be a thriving, fun-filled club with a great atmosphere once more. Thats my opinion.

I had a really big problem in partner a while back with a single guy who just would not leave me alone, even when saying no he still kept coming back, at the end of the night i was getting changed and there i was bloody naked bent over my locker, getting my clothes out when next thing i know this guy came in the chamging room and grabbed me, he was fully dressed and i was naked which made me feel uncomfy for a start, he unzipped his trousers and forced my hand down his pants when i pulled away he pushed me up against the locker, it was very quiet as it was the end of the night and i have to admit i am as a rule quite a gobby cow but i felt really uncomfy and found myself a bit lost for words i just kept trying to push free but he just kept pushing me back against the locker while holding my hand down his pants :? anyway at this point my hubby walks in and as you can imagine was not to happy, this guy runs out the changing room round the other side of the lockers and legs it followed by the hubby and the male half of the couple we went with, and get this the manager threatened to bad us :shock: even tho i have complained about him thro the night and when it came out at least 4 other women had too :shock: :shock: :shock:

We've seen a similar, or the same, crowd there too, on a Friday I think. They were very loud and very pissed, jumping in and out of the pool and drinking from glass bottles in the water. We were in the jacuzzi watching them empty the pool of everyone bar them. It was late on and going quiet anyway, but they seemed to finish the night for several couples who left straight away.

29 Nov 2005

Can honestly say .......... we have never had a problem there ........... but we only ever go on a Thursday !
Mind you .........if they were couples they could go on a Thursday too :crazy:

the club would act if you had posted your comments on the review section I am sure.

29 Nov 2005

Good point to mention bad management at any of the clubs, unfortunately I posted a review over a month ago and it still hasn't been added to the review of that club.
How long is it supposed to take for a review to be posted to the club site???????????

I've only ever been on a Thursday once, and there were 3 young slim couples there that night. They came into the wet area in their underwear and sat at a table next to the plunge pool. Couldn't say whether they were rowdy because we went upstairs not long after they arrived but I'd say there's a good possibility it's the same people to me. I do recall feeling a bit uncomfortable as I got out of the jacuzzi because I was sure there was some comment made, but I managed to convince myself I was just being paranoid... am wondering now though rolleyes

29 Nov 2005

I thought we were just unlucky though this seems to be happening on a regular basis. This is a shame as we love the club and have had some good nights there sad

The reviews section on SH has not been updated for ages though I suppose there are more important things going on blink

I will email Partners with a link to this post and see what happens evil

30 Nov 2005

Personally i doubt anything will happen, if you complain to them face to face and they ignor you why should they be bothered about comments on a thread?
Partners used to be a really good club, we started going about 3 years ago, was always busy and fill with people we knew, over the years its gone really down hill and on the last few times we have gone i have got the inpression they will just let anyone in now days to get the money, never seems really busy anymore

30 Nov 2005

David I am sorry to hear that mate....
I am sure there are other loverly clubs to try.......
i personally have had a cpl of bad experiances in clubs but I have got over them now.....

Let's hope that the management get to read this thread, if they really are at all bothered about standards at the place. If they aren't bothered, there's something very fishy about their attitude.

I just don't get the short sighted vision of some places..... once it becomes a regular thing the genuine people will just go elsewhere or limit their use of the place. They get Â£45 off of the twats and lose Â£100's.
If you encounter such rabble again, you could always try one of the following comments...
- Oooow, that green puss that just dripped off the end looks nasty.
- I am so glad they fitted security cameras so they can expose trouble makers to the press.
- I do hope the strong chemicals in the jacuzzi don't rot your undies my dear.
- Did you hear about the couple who got un the water in their undies last week? I bit of elastic came free and got pulled into the filters - they pulled one out before it was too late.

30 Nov 2005

we are thinking of trying our first club,but reading this thread i think partners will be given a wide any of the other clubs like partners?

30 Nov 2005

the last few times we nt to partners we did not have nay trouble, but the atmosphere has completely changed.
it used to be one of those places that even if you were just sat chatting to your partner you could feel the fun i n the air, now its like a morgue!
we have decided that unless we are going to meet specific people there (ie mates or people we have made plans with) we wont bother going any more.
we ended up sat there on our own counting the mins till it was time we could leave!
lol
the atmosphere even stopped us wanting to play with each other!!! :shock:

i agree with you, really gone down hill, we said a while ago its not a club we will go to again unless we know for sure others we know are going to be there

30 Nov 2005

the subject of partners going down hill is coming up more and more often and it all seems to be down to bad management rather than the club itself they seem to be trying to do the place up again after a laps in the facilities but they still keep letting the idiots spoil the place if they stopped the idiots coming in they would see a better place rather then what we was told when we complained about someone , we was told "are but they come in all the time and entertian the single guys " . does this excuse them for breaking the clubs rules ?? all it comes down to is money and the sooner they realise that kicking 1 or 2 idiots out might bring back the regulars and the friends that stopped going , well rant over now let hope the see sence soon and get the place back to how it used to be.

Im sorry that's happened to you NN. Im a single male and Ive always been respectful of other peoples "comfort zone" or what ever you want to call it...I know that NO means NO and I although I havent had that experience myself, its becoming more and more clear to me why I find it hard to get to know couples and single females in the club I occasionally got to...its because the minority (perhaps more than that, who knows for sure) dont understand the word....its a pity as I would really like to get to know people more. But its understandable if single women and couples are suspicious of a single man if there are idiots like that....

30 Nov 2005

We were up in the north west and were going to go there but heard off other cpls that this was getting a regular thing there, so went to liaisons in rochdale instead and had a great time, the managment couldn,t do enough for us and when we went back there another night there was a guy having a go at a cpl and the managment just told him to leave and don,t come back now thats how it should be.
Sorry to hear this is happening in the comunity but it seems a lot of the younger ones are causeing it by abuseing older people who might not be 21 but to us are much better people to be with and a hole lot sexier than plastic people, don,t they relise one day they will be that age or size ?.
Happy Swinging to you all

yep your right Lee (tho i'll never admit to saying that lol)
partners is a ok club, the wet area is nice and the place is a good size there nothing wrong with the place at all.
It does come down to who they let in, it used to be a great place to go and i'm sure it can be again.

30 Nov 2005

hi just like to say that we have been going to partners for 3 years now and have never had any trouble with single guys or seen any rowdy behaviour,although we have heard of these things happening. is it more of a case that when these incidents do happen,and i definately think that it is a very unpleasent experience for the people on the recieving end,that it is talked about more than the enjoyable nites that can be had there.i would add that if you are thinking of going for the first time,go, and make your own mind up you may be very surprised smile

30 Nov 2005

well...if i was there and something like that happened .....i bet theyd not be happy about letting me bakc in again biggrin

30 Nov 2005

Apoligies in advance for piggybacking this thread.
I am re-entering this World after a couple of years out, however in the past I never ventured to a club, the girl I was with used to just acost people in the regular clubs we used to
Anyway I was considering 1 or 2 of these clubs which are located near to where I live and work, ideally I have been seeking a nice gal just to accompany me. However the more I research this it seems a lot of single males do attend on their own.
What are the thoughts of "couples" on this , I would imagine SM's in this sort of arena are just perceived as opportunists, dont get me wrong I am ultra confident and so on and would have no problem mixing its just wouldn't feel right.
Am I being daft????

Sorry to drag this up again but I emailed a complaint to Partners and I've had the following reply:

Quote by Partners
The couples in question have been in the club on 3 separate occasions,which
the first one there was no problems,on the second visit I myself was
informed about there behaviour and informed them that a repeat of that
evenings activates and they would not be welcome again.
On the evening that yourself and your girlfriend visited Clive was on
reception and I had forgotten to inform him about the previous trouble they
had caused,and to be fair when they arrived it was 3 couples which we give
everyone a fair chance to act accordingly.
Clive has dealt with the situation as on there exit he has told them that
they are not swingers and this is not the type of club to go and mess about
being drunk.
They will not be allowed back in again.
We do try to sort out any problems and they are not the first people to be
banned from the club and they probably will not be the last.
So once again we are sorry if it spoilt your evening and we can only
apologise for those idiots.

Seems fair enough :thumbup:
For anyone who has not been, the facilities at Partners are excellent and (idiots aside) we've had some good times there smile

Missy and I are back in Manchester in a couple of weeks so we'll pay another visit and see how we get on cool

We have been going for about a year on and off. Always went on thursdays (couples night) but two weeks ago we went on a Wednesday and had no problems with single guys. They were polite, did as we asked, and at one point, even formed a queue (how very british!). Always found the place to be very clean and the chap on reception has always been helpful. Only thing it needs is a car park!
