"Anything on the Attic re-opening yet" As stated in this thread and others, The Attic is closed due to moving and a last Min problem. An update will be given when we are opening both on Fab and the website so keep looking. | |||

"Wondering what the problem could be as the move has been in the making for months. 9 months" Incorrect we moved on 4th November, so get the correct information which can be found on Facebook and Mr Derby and the Attic profile post regularly in here. | |||

"The new club was given the OK in march " You need to get your facts correct. We found new premises and got change of use approval around then. There is still a massive amount to do. You can't find premises that are already built for an adult sex club. | |||

"Has there been any updates as to a projected reopen date? Can imagine the new club will be amazing. " We moved our hotel from New Year where we were booked to go to Attic New Years eve to 22nd 23rd March thinking that's loads of time for them to overcome the problems but time is ticking and we are all still in the dark | |||

Let's face it you learn to appreciate what you have when you don't have it, so just standby and you will be able to enjoy the new attic experience soon. | |||

"Cheers PonyMad123 for the update We can't wait to see the new venue, and really feel for everyone involved at the club having to deal with any negativity " It is nice to be updated every now and then to keep us all feeling part of the Attic family. We do all feel for Ron having this delay by officialdom and all the hard working people who worked so hard hoping they would get opened up back in November  | |||

"Hey guys it’s all great that you are missing the place. So are me and my partner. But we have volunteered a bit of our time not as much as the staff. But we have been down there helping out building bits and painting bits. If you enjoy that kind of thing and have a few hours spare or could maybe help in some other way. Why don’t you volunteer your time to help instead of just pasting on here when is it going to be open etc. What’s the saying many hand make lite work why don’t you contact the staff at the start of this chain and see if there is something you can do to help. Instead of just putting negative posts or depressing posts about when,if,maybe and I have a hotel booked why don’t you use that booking to help make a difference and maybe the club could open quicker. Sorry to Rob and the staff for this rant and I know you have to stay professional as it’s your business but you’re doing a great job. A swingers club built by swingers for swingers to enjoy for years to come hopefully. See you all soon and I promise I will get my hands dirty again soon helping you all out with the next phase. " don't you think that is negative? We live in Durham, if we lived closer we'd have been helping as much as we can. Respect to all not just the few we say. This doesn't really help anyone, just alienate us. We can't wait to see everyone once it opens and shake the hands once again the people putting the hard work in as we already have when we visited the progress of the new place. Updates do stop the speculation and the criticism. Roll on opening date | |||

Really looking forward to it, and a huge thanks to Ron and everyone who's worked towards getting it open for us to enjoy. Hope the Sybian hasn't been lost in the move  | |||

"As has been said numerous times, we are not dealing with our own time frame here but that of numerous various bodies and stakeholders. Every single date we have had internally has come and gone because one body or another has not been able to do their part in that time. So again as has been said before we will not give timeframes out publicly until we are 100% sure. The team have work tireless for nearly a year now and especially in these last 3 months making the adaptions and modifications to satisfy the relevant bodies. So there really haven't been and update to shout about, but sire enough when there is you'll hear about it." Thanks for the updates | |||

"Thanks for all the updates. It’s starting to feel close now "Hopefully won't be long but as the update said, it's frustrating waiting for 3rd party timeframes. Ron would have opened up months ago if he could but he wants to make sure everything is correct and in place before opening. | |||

"Getting excited now Why has alot if this thread been deleted?" Think you have got this thread mixed up with the Attic update thread that was full and closed. Everyone then jumped onto this thread which was started just after the club was told they couldn't open on the planned date back in November. | |||

" No I'm not confused as I wrote something the other day and the thread you mean has been closed for a week." There has been no deletion of any of your posts. A duplicate thread with the same question was removed though, maybe you posted on that one. If there had been a post removed, questioning it on the forum isn't the way to do it, you should use the contacts links at the bottom of the home page please | |||

" Hats off to everyone involved these things are never easy to complete and mix in dependencies on others it makes a huge task.

The team have done an amazing job and I can’t wait to see the new place when it’s open. Well done everyone keep going feels like you are nearly there.

"Thank you all any weekend time contact _he attic profile they will let you know if a job to suit, we spend a fair bit of time there in the week and it's just keeping on top of things as while more work is being undertaken, creates more dust. I've been pretty useless after being ill recently, but on the mend plus working with my own businesses but every little helps. If you can managed a duster or a mop, or a paint brush or just make a brew and wash pots, I'm sure the team will appreciate it. Just check tho by dropping the profile a message to see when they need the help. " I'll start dropping in a bit in the week x I've had this lurgy and been asleep most of today though x | |||

"Update from the official Facebook group So, again to clarify a couple of things that are entering the rumor mill and not necessarily true or misinformed. The red tape the club is working to get though is NOT being imposed by the local council. The local council is one of the interested parties involved but they have so far been nothing but 100% helpful and satisfied by our endeavours. Yes, we are looking into disabled facilities (access, toilet etc) but this has nothing to do with the (age of) the building but more to do with the equalities act 2010 and conforming to part M of building regulations, and of course it's the moral thing to do. And finally, it will be at least after the Easter weekend before we will recieve any update from some that are involved and thus will not be able to provide any update on opening until at least then." Thank you for sharing this. Glad to hear that the council are being supportive, and that the club is trying to be as accessible as possible for all. | |||

"Thanks for the update; just curious realistically when are you looking at this being open? Just a guide; another 2 months, 4 months or more likely six months." They honestly couldn't give you an answer as depends on the timescale of 3rd party companies. | |||

"So frustrating! Any alternatives in Derby until the big reopening?" Not in Derby, but Purple mamba in Nottingham, chams in darleston, xtasia in west brom, a couple in Leicester. Go onto club reviews and choose east mids, read the reviews and see what tickles your fancy. | |||

"I drove past there today and sadly the car parking looks so open to the road. Is there a back entrance that’s a bit more discreet? " The main door is off the main road. | |||

Off the side street ? Or through the gate next to Jewson? "The main entrance to the car park is through the metal gates next to Jewsons. Yes it's not as discreet as the old place but if you compare it to some other clubs where the entrance to the club is actually on a busy street then it is discreet. | |||

"Any recent progress.does Ron and owners of _he attic not have a team of tradespeople to do these jobs that are required.also if random people are turning up to do work are they qualified and will the work pass inspection?" Ron is the (sole) owner, and how qualified do you need to be to paint and carry things? All work requiring qualified or "competent person" have been done accordingly. Most "inspections are for drainage, non done, floor construction, non done, and fire rated construction, no issues to date. And to answer the first point, plenty of progress internally but that doesn't mean 3rd party stakeholders will drop everything, including aforementioned qualified/competent persons when their services are required. All stakeholders agree they are not used to a business of the nature _he attic is, especially with the occupancy numbers. | |||

Qualified tradespeople have been doing the work that needs a tradesperson and yes they are qualified. But these "Random" people you call them are offering there time to do the small jobs like paint, move stuff, and none skilled jobs As previously mentioned on other posts, we are working to a 3rd parties time frame and we are having conversations all the time to speed up the process. | |||

"The Attic are asking for help this weekend, definitely needing a plumber, but if anyone is free and willing to help out drop The Attic profile a message. Come on, let's help to get the club reopen. I miss everyone. Xxx How much are they offering to pay for said help ! " I agree that if someone is giving up time to paint,do plumbing or any other jobs then they should be paid the going rate. | |||

And how do you know that they aren't being paid???? And at the end of the day if someone, like any other tradesperson, doesn't like the pay or job then they don't have to do it. | |||

If I were a plumber, or any other trade, I would certainly help out FOR FREE as I love the place and the people and want to see the place open. I am sure that I would be looked after in many other ways into the future if I was able to support them now. Decent people help out their friends when needed. | |||
