This is just a very loose idea at the moment but what do you think of the following. I know the social side to the scene is very important and we have a lot of members here so maybe we could do something.
Do you think people would want to attend a big UK swinging festival organised by SH strictly for members?.
It would be in a secure outdoor location with proper security guards etc. And be a camp/festival kind of thing over a weekend.
Attractions would include a big marquee with music and entertainment. Sex shows, erotic dancers etc etc.
Jacuzzis and maybe a few funfair rides
Bouncy castles
Mud wrestling pits
Foam party
Hog roasts in the evenings etc
And secure play areas
And anything else we can come up with that would be fun!
Stalls and shops, indian massage, sexy stuff etc?
I would imagine around 1-2000 people could attend and the price would probably be around £40-50 per person to cover costs? but it certainly would not be one of the few quid events to go to due to the costs and attractions etc, it would not be organised to generate a profit just not a loss.
We would need to firstly find a suitable secure weekend venue and would probably need a lot of organisational help from the members to make it all happen.

Sounds a fantastic idea. Wish I had a venue to offer the use of. So long as it isn't next August Bank Holiday, we'd certainly be interested.
F'n'S xx
Im sure between our memmbers we could come up with all the shops, catering, entertainment, and a venue etc. Maybe take over a whole camp site somewhere with toilets etc already there? any ideas welcome.
From what I've heard, the various swing camps have been great fun. It sounds like this could be good event.
:thumbup:
I don't think you'd need to make tons of attractions or stalls. I think a lot of people would be OK making their own fun :grin:
Can you make it August bank holiday and if you could just call my parents and explain why I need to borrow their new tent before they have used it, that would be great :thumbup:
Sounds like a great idea, offering to help out if needed to arrange things.
But I don't do camping, having been dripped on last time I went, so put me down as a day tripper!!
Coming to a tabloid near you soon.........
Nope.
Too ambitious. Won't work to sort of scale first mentioned.
There'll be plenty of interest for sure. Lots of names put on list, plenty of volunteers.
However, unless when 'opened up' for names, the attractions, site... 'entertainment' etc were confirmed, and the price, and then 'guaranteed', you could eventually be looking at lot of disappointed people. You wouldn't want people to pay thier fee with certain expectations, and find it all 'paired-down' at the last minute now would you?
At the very least, people who found themselves in an initial position of disapointment, but struggled on and made the best of it.
Would SH be looking to profit from this as a business?
Because we mustn't forget that yes indeed, smaller 'camps' have been organised and well attended throughout the country.. but no profit, no gain. Them's the rulz, at least when organised openly through the public fora.
Jewlnmart, good point about the Investigative Journalists interest.
We'll all be able to read of our antics in the gloriously subscribed Daily Wail, we'll be famous!
Huzzah!

Happy to help you with this event in anyway we can. We have been organising camping socials for 3 years for the southcoast room and they are always a great laugh, next one is in April and is on the events page. As ours are normally around 60ish people finding a venue is quite easy, i would suggest trying to hire a whole campsite for the weekend where you will have shower blocks, toilets etc on site.
Going on previous experience it seems that most SH members are happy to help out if they can. Any idea's of where and when yet?

We'd be keen to come along if it happens.
Sounds like a damn fine sexy plan.

yes, the Myres of the Smoke are unhealthy... a trip to the country with ruddy-faced fresh-types would be lovely.
as for age...hmmm... you're getting closer to Golden Showers there with the "left a bit, right a bit" aren't you?
Not that I remember.
Shot!, sorry, Golden Shot!

As a recent returnee to the site, I do feel rather cheeky voicing my interest, however I am interested.
I do event management as a large part of the day job, so : any help you need just yell.
