"Typical - How can such a discreet well run place with no history of any problems end up on the wrong end of a judgement like this - " Because of the lack of planning permission? Hardly a surprise that this is the outcome | |||

"Typical - How can such a discreet well run place with no history of any problems end up on the wrong end of a judgement like this - Because of the lack of planning permission? Hardly a surprise that this is the outcome" And the moral of the story is, make sure the paperwork's in order. | |||

"Wonder wether a petition would help them ??" There's been one. Not happy if it closes down, I've been a member for nearing 10 years and love the place. It employs a lot of people too so they'll be out of jobs. Crazy. | |||

"i suppose they could keep going without the marquee, huts and anoy other non permitted build. the main house and pool are not in breach of the planning regs?" I don't think so. Based on that news report, the planning order was both to remove the marquee and huts and to stop operating as a club - in other words, turn the place back into a large house with swimming pool and stable block. | |||

" I am devastated.... however.... chances are it will go back to the court of appeal and continue a good while yet... lets have at least one last summer out of the place. I honestly fail to see how they can complain about Greenbelt land etc with the green monstrosity build next door last summer and a radio/mobile phone mast as close and a quarry across the road? Perhaps as naturists we should take up residence in a Spellthorne Council park... since they would be closing the only facility available. Surely the fact people travel miles to use it and bring footfall to a small community whos shops may well suffer too for the clubs closure must say something for its reputation and the need for such a place? How can these bureaucrats think closure will benefit anyone? Naked protest all the way! " | |||

"What's Abfabs like on a Friday now are there still way to many single guys?" There are plenty of single guys to choose from and most times, the guys are well-behaved Once in a while, someone will touch without first asking but a short sharp, "do not touch me", is all that is required | |||

"It's a sad decision indeed but as the staff have said they will continue to fight it. I do feel that this seems a dig at the lifestyle more than a planning issue, as previously stated some dodgy property owners get retrospective permission. Also as previously stated the green monstrosity next door looks worse than anything kestrels have. " Not to mention a very large airport. | |||

Which at some point may wipe out the village anyway with the 3rd runway!!" Reading through all the bits of press the thing that is a refrain is that most of the people aren't local. The solution is to get the rest of Spelthorne to join and make the case it's a local amenity. | |||

"Lets be realistic ANY kind if establishment worth its salt will attract custom from out of area.... how many passing through Heathrow airport are local?! lol Im local.... im less than 5 miles from it, but as I live in another Borough my being local doesnt count... the fact the club stands on the farthest reach of the Spellthorne Council with nothing but a tiny village and reservoirs surrounded by sheep means the likelihood of many 'locals' using it are slim. I am genuinely concerned for the future of the village shops who will without doubt see a loss of revenue. Its interesting that the council was alerted by 'anonymous complaints' yet the residents of the village (the locals!) have no complaint? Also reading the Get Surrey artical you could be forgiven for thinking the stable/dungeon are was newly purpose built when infact its been there since the main dwelling was built, if not longer. What is within the house and block is neither here nor there.... swings harnesses and bdsm equipment or not. The club is not overlooked by anyone... It has operated discretely without issue for a good few years. Personally I feel much is down to the future expansion of the airport... BAA would have to compensate not only for the house but also the loss of business should the club remain open. Shut it now and they will only need to compensate the value of the home. Lets face it, who in there right mind would actually buy the place as a family home know its former use? Can you imagine the conversations at 9.30 Friday evening when visitors arrive in their kinky party attire?! I do find it amusing to see those prophets of doom spouting off that its closing like they know because they attend 3 times a year when the suns out! I am sure Graham and the team will not go down without a fight so rather than helping the poorly reported 'forced to close' rumours steaming through the site perhaps show some support and use the club more? Anyway... Bank Holiday BBQ tomorrow... Sunday 3rd May.... open 10.30 til midnight! So stick that in ya hot dog bun and eat it Spellthorne Council!!! " | |||

I just wonder if it's against the human rights for naturists and swingers to force the closure? | |||

"Im sure if enough got together to openly campaign as swinging naturists they would have to accept and provide for us! Look at other leisure activities.... rock climbing for example... not something catered for in every area.... do the few facilities available across the country face closure because they are not used by local residents? As I said in my initial response to the OP... perhaps we ought to take up residence, on mass, in a public Spellthorne Council facility, nude... if enough do it they will be forced, surely, to acknowledge that a private, discreet, well managed, sheltered community/commune is definitely a better way forward." With you all the way on that one Twinkle! | |||

Get in early, find a spot in one of the hot tubs, or on a couch next to folk and just chat with them. I'm Going back this Monday, I've become somewhat addicted..... | |||
