Hiya,
Susie and I went to Radlett on Saturday our 'second' trip there. We had kind afigured that with all the exposure oon the TV that there would be more people than usual, we weren't wrong.
There were a lot of new faces and some of the regulars at the parties pointed out that they had not seen so many new faces on one night before.
We had envisaged a really good night, much like the night we had last month. How wrong could we be.
Firstly, the people there much to our surprise were some of the most disrespectful people we've met, in any walk of life, not just the 'swinging' lifestyle. As ever on this particular Saturday of the month, it was advertised as a couples only party. Well, if this was a 'couples only' party, then i am most definately the Prime Minister. I don't have a problem with single guys, we've been to clubs where there are single guys and for the most part, they a re generally well behaved and extremely respectful, well at radlett, on Saturday night, they weren't, not one iota.
Susie and I aren't really into the full swap thing, and often, we play alone but with an audience etc.. Saturday, hands were on us almost as soon as we started playing, Again, Susie being the focal point as ever. We don't mind swinging with couples, as long as it's OK and we're asked, spoken to, etc.. What we don't like is when a couple, single guy etc just take it as read that we're going to play and immediately start touching Susie and I.
It got so bad at one point that i lost my temper with one particular 'bloke' and basically told him to 'eff off' we left soon after really disappointed with the whole experience. After having such a great time last month, i doubt we'll be visiting Radlett again.
To top the night off, we got stuck in the grounds after our car got stuck in the quagmire of the 'parking field' We seeked help from the 'Hosts' and were told that help would be sought(they've had this problem before as explained on their website) so we were confident that we'd 'be sorted'.
After an hour of waiting, Susie went back to the house to seek out 'the hosts' only to have the door shut on her very rudely and no help forthcoming, and being verbally accosted by a couple of single guys(obviously thinking she was alone).
If it wasn't for the helpful guy with the 4x4 we'd still probably be there, so whoever you were, if you read this, our appreciation to you is incredibly high.
As for Radlett parties, we recommended them highly last month, this month, a completely different kettle of fish, we'd not go back there again, ever.

Nope, not a word, we eventially got help from the guy with the 4x4 who was our lifesaver. As for Richard and Janet(The Hosts) we were very very angry at the time. Looking back on it now, we're still incredibly angry at the way the whole night went.

Hi Paul & Susie
Well you know what you ought to do.
Get yourselves to our party on the 11th.
Its free.
Its closer than Radlett.
Its full of nice people (like us!!!)
Its all couples & bi fems and everyone is hand chosen.
The parties are small enough for the 'Organisers' to make sure that everyone's needs are looked after be they drinks, cars towing, jump leads (for cars - get your minds out of the gutter!!!) or anything else....... :shock:
You know you want to :wink:

hhhhmmmmm!!!
and i wonder why single blokes have such a bad rep, and have to try really hard to overcome it. i wouldn't even dream of it. permission to play with both parties in a couple is pretty damn much a prerequisite, and the reason i don't go clubbing is cos i can't afford the 50 quid or so membership/first visit fee levied on us for that very reason!
i'll be generous and charitable, and wonder if the "hosts" have just been bitten on the arse by their own publicity! quite lucrative this time round no doubt, and i doubt they'll suffer much anyway.

You're obviously bias towards your own parties, seeing as they're yours, but then i know from what i have read your parties are regarded as pretty good so its ok i guess...:lol:
Can you point me at these things you've read about these 'parties' being good? I was under the impression that the last one was the first and I haven't seen a single mention of it apart from surreycouple2003.

I dont think that came out in bad way - and I certainly dont take any offence.
And I suppose that we are biased towards our parties.
But were not likely to run parties that we dont like are we....!!!

This is the reason we have been to couples nights.
Unfortunately, sometimes the minority of bad ones spoil it for the majority of great people.

And thanks to D & M for organising it and all the other gorgeous people for turning up. Incredible venue and a really relaxed, very sexy time. Let's hope it's sunny next time and we get to use the garden ;-)
I'm still grinning!

Hope that helps

You know you could always add this to their review page - I'd happily post it up ;)
It is shameful the way you were treated... one can only imagine they were too taken up with their current celebrity status??? Who knows
NOT a good way to run parties though, not on a number of grounds by the looks of it!
Hiya Mark,
We're more than happy for you to paste the original message up and add to the review page, funny, how our first review of the place was full of praise, maybe we went on a good night the first time round, or maybe a bad night second time around, either way, we won't be going back.....

hmmmmm......
Cant make up my mind about this one.
Obviously the massive amount of publicity they received is bound to create a massive influx of new 'client's'.
However this should have been managed properly - I am guessing (and it is a guess!) that the dollar bill's took precedent over customer enjoyment here.
Maybe thats what they had in mind, or maybe they just had too many applicant's to be able to vet them accordingly.
However, regardless of the reason people will vote with their feet and Mr & Mrs Radlett may find their house full of single guys in the not too distant future.
I would be interested to hear of any 'good radlett reports' post the TV show.

With regard to the 'vetting' thing,
As far as i know, they have no vetting requirements at all, this is fine by us and like many parties of this sort, it's not really an issue. They say themselves that they don't run these parties as a business, well, after the 'care' and 'support' of the hosts, we find that statement 100% true, because no 'business' would treat their customers/clients the way we felt we were treated.
The help we did recieve was from a very kind and helpful guy, armed with wellies and a tow rope and his trusty steed!!!
We knew there'd be an influx of new people to the party after the recent exposure, all we can really say is if this is going to be the case across the whole 'scene' then maybe we're just gonna let it pass us by.
Paul and Susie x
They say themselves that they don't run these parties as a business,
Excuse me for sounding everso slightly cynical... but "don't run them as a business".... just worth this out....
Average 50 couples.... £30 per couple.... £1,500 per party
2 parties a month.... £3,000 per month
12 months a year.... £36,000 a year!!!!
Of course, the only reason they charge is because, as they say on their website
we do look for a contribution to pool maintenance, damage, etc
Now, that's either one Olympic size swimming pool, or the place gets trashed regularly!!
Personally, I think it's appalling to treat their "guests" in such a way... again, having my everso slightly cynical hat on, would the fact that they are able to charge single blokes more cash to attend have anything to do with the fact there is a sudden increase in their numbers.... mmmmmmmmm I wonder!!
Foxy!!

This concerns me .... if there is no vetting requirements who is to say that the place wasn't full of journalists???? Be interesting to see hear how many "singles" just wandered round

What youre describing is a sad inevitability . As with most swinging clubs/saunas/partys they often begin by being fun people who are good at organising events , then they realise , wait a minute we can break even here and have a ball for free . Then one week theres enough left in the kitty for them to take a well earned hotel break to celebrate the success of the party and a well earned rest from all the clearing up . Few months in and suddenly they look and hey thats nearly earned as much as our wages put together , and its taking so much of our time perhaps we can make a decent living and offer some folks a great time ! Ten months in and theres a few bad months , everyones on holiday and the sun is out , and they arent coming to play , and at least one of us has given up our full time job ....what to do ? Well wheres theres indiscriminate promotion there will always be single men thinking theyre guaranteed a shag . We could charge them double what the couples pay and rake the money back that way , the regulars wont mind some of them even like the odd gang bang .and anyway we'll thoroughly vet them . Month eighteen . Weve lost money the last three months , and the wide screen TV in the playroom needs paying for , not to mention the laundry bills . Lets just let them all in and we'll change back to couples only maybe one in every twenty events.
It always happens eventually , some of the more successful clubs manage to stave it off more than others , and of course we arent saying single men are all bad , because that isnt true , but they are usually the ones who think theyve paid their money so are entitled to a grope and a shag .
Swinging and mamon simply dont mix , as soon as money is involved other than expenses the whole ethos usually falls apart . I honestly dont think that the UK is ready for commercial swinging places yet , if its kept private it still works ok , and for some reason the europeans seem to cope mostly . Perhaps our swinging mentality is different who knows . All i reckon is cash ruins the bash .
