FabSwingers.com forum: Chams Single Male Membership

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

This is the response I got from Chams, when enquiring about Single Male Membership:

'Single membership is not guaranteed at any point and you are not guaranteed entrance on the night of your calling.

Chameleons is a members only club it's £76 to join for a single guy, to join, you will need to bring ID I.E. Passport or driving license but be aware entrance & membership is not guaranteed. We have a lot of guys apply so this is how we deal with the backlog. A guest pass is possible but again this not guaranteed a guest pass is £50 for a one off visit.

You can also apply online by sending a recent photo of yourself and we will process your membership online however this may result in being added to the waiting list, again this is how we deal with the sheer amount of single guys applying.'

I think the only things that are clear are the costs and that nothing else is clear. YMMV.

Comments...??

The key I think is they want to see what you look like its a fact of life they are inundated with applications and are trying to select good looking single men for the benefit of their single ladies and couple members

That's not true, we went last night and there was only 1 bloke who floated my boat so it's definitely not done on good looking guys only

The thing is £76 is an awful lot of money. Are the men who pay this a 'better standard' ( yes note the '' marks) of single male? How does this effect their sense of entitlement? More serious about the swinging scene? Personally if I was male I'd be spending that hard earned cash on something else. Tho only heard good things about Chams.

I have been to Chams, when I was part of a Couple. I know exactly how it is inside. Their response - as in my initial post - makes it clear - that they g'tee nothing. So, I could do as a guy I met did - go 4 times and not get in once....! Sorry, am not playing that game. Will look elsewhere.

Glad you like my pics - !!! Just available light, and an iPhone or DSLR.... And importantly, a determined photographer, who would not be distracted.... lols...

It sounds like a club on its knees with little care for potential new members just solely intent on clawing as much cash as possible from makes who they do not respect. As a woman I wonder what they really think of us if they message a guy with a message like that.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Chameleons is in a unique position though as its a very popular club, and they have chosen that way to reduce the perceived 'cock-fest' that everyone says happens at clubs. In my personal opinion though it doesn't, and there are many clubs in the OPs area that does not apply the same high membership fees and stringent entry process for single blokes, so probably best to sample them first before committing a large wodge of cash.

I've gone as part of a ouple countless times and several as a single. I love this club. Cost doesn't bother me. I travel two and a half hours on a good run to get there.

I just think this awsome club is worth whatever they charge.

Not into the idea of going to a club, and at that price and with that second-class citizen treatment, I'm glad it doesn't attract me.

I've got to say that anyone who thinks that paying that kind of money to be treated in that manner is a good deal needs to have their head examining...!

It's more so they can check you out rather than the other way round. If you're a bull-necked fuckwit who thinks he's King of the Shaggers and is going to go in there and fuck ALL the bitches who are going to flock round, and is chomping at the bit, I would imagine you aren't going to get through the door, you won't be welcome. If you are in a cocaine sweat, can't remember the name you have given them, and are constantly checking your phone to see if your wife is suspicious about where you are...again, I think they may want to pass on having you sign up.

They can't tell if you are one of these chaps from a telephone call to ask if you can join.

However, if you are prepared to put your name down, don't push like the end of the world is approaching and you have to get in, maybe get a guest pass and let them see you are an everyday bloke...then you shouldn't have too long a wait. Firm, polite enquiries, NOT pushy, whiny "FFS-when's-my-name-going-to-be-at-the-top-of-the-list?" calls will see you right.

Anyone who is TOO pushy, too keen, constantly badgering for membership ...well, that's probably a sign of how they'll behave inside the club.

If someone can't possibly go on a waiting list, it kind of shows they are someone who wants results NOW. Those men tend to be a pain when they get into clubs, they are pushy twats who think their entrance fee guarantees a shag.

I know that previously being part of a member couple means nothing because you might already have a reputation for being a twat. Sorry to say it, and no offence directed at you, but some of the male halves of the couples in Chams are utter twats, but tolerated because couples are less abundant.

It's like any situation where the door is closed to you - you put your best foot forward , smile and sell yourself without appearing desperate. It will pay off in time - certainly more than saying "Fuck 'em then", I assure you they will NEVER approach you to join.

OP - I know that if you go on an event night. One normally advertised in the forum. You pay a reduced price for the night. Just keep an eye out and put your name down. It's a good club.

Attitudes to guys in clubs are disgusting. Lots of couples and single women are utter twats and yet they are tolerated. (In general- not specifically those posting in this thread.)

It's apparently ok for it to be a meat market when couples/ single women are the ones doing the picking, yet when men do similar it's the end of the world???

Chameleons

Single membership is not guaranteed at any point and you are not guaranteed entrance on the night of your calling.

The chameleons club is open 7 days a week different days have different events on.

Monday 2pm - 1am -Bi-sexual day of which you need to be Bi-sexual, this is couples and singles, entrance of this day is £33

Tuesday we are open 11am - 1am after 6pm it is naked night where no towels or lingerie are allowed, also couples and singles, £33 is the entrance price.

Wednesday and Thursday is couples and singles from 11am - 1am entrance is £33

Fridays are couples and singles from 11am - 3am and entrance is £33 before 5pm and £35 thereafter.

Saturdays is couples only after 7:30pm and is open midday - 4am, entrance is £33 but you must leave club at 7:30

Sundays are couples and singles and is open 2pm - 1am, entrance is £33

The club is a very relaxed environment and is very much non pressure, we have 2 jacuzzis, steam room, sauna, and various other rooms. The dress code is a towel(provided) boxer shorts or shorts for the men and towel(provided), lingerie or provocative clothing for the ladies.

In my experience if you expect nothing but a relax in the jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and a nice social enjoyable day/night out you will have an awesome experience

Kind regards

I can confirm that is the full (standard) msg I received. I just extracted - verbatim - the first parts.

To be completely fair, I have also had a reply to my msg, from Chams, which is clearly a '1 off'. Essentially it says:

- £76 is an annual fee

- 'Not G'teed' is based on numbers on the night

- Yes, you can apply online and be wait listed

Thats a better response, from Chams. The standard one could be improved, IMO.

I will probably apply, on line & see what happens.

Thanks for the comments on this thread, good & bad...

So if a guy waits patiently on the waiting list.

Gets through the process.

Pays his membership fee.

He still might not get in on the night he travels there?

So we want to start going to Chams on a semi regular basis and pay £76 each to join

We drive from Manchester, so say another £40 in petrol each journey, only to be turned away.

On the other hand, we get let in, another £66 each time

So that first time is either £192 for a wasted journey or £258 to be allowed in just to sample the 'ambience' ?

This is as a couple bear in mind, but because we both have cocks that doesn't count.

If we had fannies instead of cocks however, what would it cost us ? I dare say, the cost of petrol ?

I am waiting for the first club to get with the times and allow same sex couples in at the same rates as mixed sex couples.

I fear I could be waiting some time in this exclusive world they call swinging

Its really not clear - which is still a mark against Chams. I just re-read it - and it does say - that admission on the night isnt g'teed. So, yes - wait, pay £76, go - and get turned away. I'm not so far from Chamsa, but imagine if you had driven 100 miles....? Thinking you were OK, and would get it.

There are other clubs in the area with lower membership fees and lower or similar entrance fees.

Why people don't just decide to go elsewhere if they're not happy with a clubs policy I'll never know!

We love chameleons we try and get there at least once a month with fuel hotels food entrance it's generally a £300 night out for us. I've got to say the market decides the price chameleons charge what they like and yet there is still a waiting list if they were charging too much nobody would want to join. In any other business the price would be out up clubs are not charities they are businesses to make profit and in my opinion there is nothing wrong with that and the proof is that chameleons is probably the most successful club in the country

I'm a regular at another club that doesn't really limit membership but does limit the number of single men who are allowed to attend on any given night except greedy girls. The men have to book by telephone and if they don't turn up then their membership may be revoked. Much fairer system I think

Good luck!

I wasn't defending the policy by the way - I disagree with the concept of membership that doesn't guarantee entry.

If you join as a couple or single of either gender you should be able to roll up at the door on any given night and get in.

It's ridiculous to call it membership otherwise.

I have re written the standard response to make it more clearer, taking on board what's been said. Just to clear things up nothing is paid untill you have membership and if you have membership you are welcome to attend chameleons anytime. What I originally meant was if you just turn up to the club membership and entrance is not guaranteed as it will depend on numbers on the night.

If a guy is a paid member and turns up on a night when there's already loads of guys in the club... will he be turned away?

Great Wyrley

Interesting thread.

I visited chams about 2 years ago. I was driving through the area from a meeting with work.

I was pretty nervous as i was just starting to dip my toes in to the world of swingers.

I parked up and walked through the door.

A lady came to the desk and I asked politely if she could give me some information about membership both for myself as a single male and as a couple with my then fb.

The lady was quite abrupt with me telling me I should look on the website as all the information I needed was there and proceeded to walk off like I was wasting her time.

Now, the reason I had visited the club during the day was because I HAD been on the chams website and the information about pricing and costs WASNT on there but alas I didn't get the chance to say that.

I felt quite unimpressed that after building up the courage to go through the door I was dismissed so easily.

That was like I say approx 2 years ago.

Since then I have not been back nor had the intention of going back.

I was smartly dressed and spoke politely and with respect.

Seeing that the membership is £76 and will cost quite a lot of money on each visit, that is, if I am one of the select that will get let in makes me realise that a sum of money like that is better spent on Christmas/birthday/holidays with my child.

Just my two penneth and I am sure chams is a very good club. I can only comment on my own experience.

"So we want to start going to Chams on a semi regular basis and pay £76 each to join

We drive from Manchester, so say another £40 in petrol each journey, only to be turned away.

On the other hand, we get let in, another £66 each time

So that first time is either £192 for a wasted journey or £258 to be allowed in just to sample the 'ambience' ?

This is as a couple bear in mind, but because we both have cocks that doesn't count.

If we had fannies instead of cocks however, what would it cost us ? I dare say, the cost of petrol ?

I am waiting for the first club to get with the times and allow same sex couples in at the same rates as mixed sex couples.

I fear I could be waiting some time in this exclusive world they call swinging

But fannies aren't bait.....

afraid they are....thats why women get in for nothing

Here we go again.

How long before the women are called prostitutes. If you don't like clubs dont go. Others who like it will go. Nobody is being forced here!"
Its not about whether we go or not,if you dont like our comment simply skip it...

Thankyou. I am certainly hoping to have lots of naughty fun, given the chance....

I have done as Chams asked - submitted a picture. I will see how long it takes, to get accepted. Meanwhile, I am - of course - looking at lots of other clubs. Maybe I will find a better one...??

I've been thinking about this and I've changed my mind! Women aren't bait at all. EVERYONE that goes to a club is 'bait'.

If I go alone I'm looking for guys.

If I go as a couple we're looking for couples or guys.

We are there to meet people, just as the guys, women or other couples are there to meet people.

Th only way that women would be 'bait' would be if the club employed them as prostitutes. If the women are there on their own free will it's not the same. It's MUTUAL fun.

The pricing issue is something entirely different. That issue is greed/ business overheads. Again... NOT bait.

i go by this ethic in life.

if something is worth paying for i will pay what i think is fair

and i am the same at clubs and swingers clubs

i pay to get into clubs fetish wise and swinging, and i have no issue in this

swingers clubs can set the price as they deem fit and if you dont like it or the terms find somewhere else

Ah, but you see, us women are benefitting from free/low cost entry.

Except not really, because I have been to several clubs and not had a sniff of a willy on certain evenings. If I was truly bait I should be beating off the men, no? Well I'm not. Men have just as much right to preference as women, and to suggest they don't have enough control is insulting.

Glad you like my pics - !!! Just available light, and an iPhone or DSLR.... And importantly, a determined photographer, who would not be distracted.... lols...

Thats what I thought shame as I loved it as a cpl very chilled out

But not so with singles. I think maybe they would be more selective on who joins and money is not the way maybe references or probationary members until they can see you know what your in for

The high cost looks like it would attract men that thought. They were paying for more than a membership to a sauna

Agree! I've been to clubs and not played with anyone there.

I choose clubs by the ones I like and feel comfortable with, it has nothing to do with entry price. The only time it's down to money is paying for petrol/ hotels etc. Doesn't matter if the club is free, if I'm skint I don't go.

To be fair to a chameleons, and no I'm not a member, they must be inundated with blokes wanting to go and who are not serious about swinging.

As a masseur, I get loads of time wasters, no shows and a fair share of pic and info collectors looking for wank material.

If you are serious about joining, polite, presentable and able to be part of an social and liberated environment without turning into an Alpha Male Gorilla, I would imagine you will have no issues joining.

Let's face it, if you were running a social club, you would have an acceptable members policy.

Really as it's their club they have the right to charge what they wish. If you don't want to pay this you don't have to, perhaps find another club (as there are many with varying prices) or try to meet elsewhere. Pretty simple.

We have been to The Greenhouse many times. No membership and £14 entry. And it is usually busy. So yeah, great place BUT (there's always a but

) gay / bi saunas are just not social kinda places.

The dynamic is way different than a swingers club and is pretty much all about the sex. U see people almost recoil in terror if you speak.

We are not those kinda gays that tie ourselves to a scene, preferring to mix our friends and social time up a but.

It would be great to attend mainstream swingers clubs as a couple and Chams would be somewhere we would be interested in visiting.

It does, however, have to be more attractive financially to us a couple to make that leap.

A bi night would be great for us as J is keen to try new things and a bi night in a mixed club would be a good place to do just that.

So maybe a £50 entry each one Monday night might be how we progress this.

I know other bi nights are available and I guess we will end up balancing costs vs re_iews on when and where to choose longer term

In my opinion Monday is by far the best day to visit Chams. The atmosphere is completely different. Much more laid back and friendly.

It can be a bit hit and miss with the amount of people attending but well worth a visit.

im sorry but I have to disagree, I'm often at chams, alone, and I've never met a guy there yet that thought he was owed anything just because he'd paid to get in.

Because if you go into a club as a couple you play as a couple and leave as a couple. Certainly at the clubs ive gone to. 'Do your own thing' may include him being a total knob at my expense. No thanks!!

Curious is this the most expensive swingers club in Britain

And is everything in there made of gold with the money they make from the single guy list

Never can get my head around the need I'd and proof of this proof of that and a photo membership what do you get from having that information,what if someone wants to be anonymous?

Personally, if i were you single guys, id try the No3 club in Chorley, Its a great atmosphere, cheap membership and entrance, plus a couple of cheap hotels close by, and before anyone says, no your not guaranteed a shag lol, i actually think Fabio makes a lot of sense

They can't tell if you are one of these chaps from a telephone call to ask if you can join.

Anyone who is TOO pushy, too keen, constantly badgering for membership ...well, that's probably a sign of how they'll behave inside the club.

As if were going to apply

ffs were talking about what single men should do and not trying to impress some club owner with sky high pricing

Pardon? What do you mean "ffs"? Your only contribution up till that point was "fuck them...simple answer". Nice and succinct, that'll get you lots of friends. Seeing as you are posting as a couple, you won't need to apply. Do they run Sunshine Buses to Chams from Newcastle, I wonder? FFS, indeed.

My post wasn't about "trying to impress some club owner" it was pointing out that clubs have to regulate single men somehow - through waiting lists or high fees, sometimes both - or else the club experience would become a sausage-fest.

If single men want to go to clubs, they have to suck it up and play along, however shitty and unfair it seems. Such is life, the market dictates what can be charged.

But hey, the more that decide to stay away the better, if truth be known, it means less competition for me!

"but the 10 ish years I have been on sites like this it has always been "Chams this, Chams that""

I used to think exactly the same, I was sick to the back teeth hearing about that club, it used to do my loaf in. Then I went there and it became clear.

Ten years later I'm still a member and have never seen anyone treated brusquely, never been treated with anything less than respect and though it pains me to fork out so much cash to keep going, the opposition just doesn't come to much (with one notable exception which might trample Chams in the not-so-distant future. Empires rise, empires fall, such is life)

I think the amount single guys pay in clubs is too much. So if i'm going to a club alone i'll post it so a friend/someone i've chatted to can go in with me - no strings either way. I save either nothing or a fiver on my entrance - they save about 30 quid!!

It would be great if most other single fems did this too! Xxx

Not the case at all. We have been going to Chams for over ten years and it is by far the best run club. Prices are very reasonable and it is the one place Chris would go on her own as she feels so at ease there.

Whatever anyones _iewpoints Chams is most definitely NOT on it knees, the place is thriving to the point of being excessive. Our _iew point re single males is they like to take a look at you, not for how good looking you are but to see if you appear to be responsible, polite and generally know how to conduct yourself. x

Also advice to single guys would be go on a tuesday lunchtime or similar when its quieter, join, take a look around get a feel for the place and chat to people, once your spotted as a decent guy and not a pushy lunatic we are sure you would be made more that welcome.

absolutely spot on, and as a single female who attends chams alone, I'm glad they use this vetting process rather than let just anyone gain membership by simply applying online or by phone

Well can you tell me in your experience how they treat single males badly ?

again trying to put words into my mouth....

you show me where i have used the word "badly" in any of my posts... and I'll answer your question....

Do i think they treat single guys who apply inferior to women and couples who do.... abso-bloody-lutly...."

Even if you had said that single guys are treated badly I'd have to disagree to a point.

My own experience last time I went was appalling and now I therefore don't believe it has anything to do with if you're female, male or a couple.

I personally will never be setting foot in the place again!

"This is the response I got from Chams, when enquiring about Single Male Membership:

'Single membership is not guaranteed at any point and you are not guaranteed entrance on the night of your calling.

I think the only things that are clear are the costs and that nothing else is clear. YMMV.

Comments...??"

What isn't clear? Were you specific in what you wanted to know when you asked them? What else did you want to know?

They go and will pay as its a very well run club and 100s go, I would never go if just couples as find couples night only clicky. Its has that sexy club feel there and just no telling who you will meet on a night .. I love Chams and Steven and wife and staff make it a lovely place to be for us.

Got to agree. Single Guy's sometimes get a hard time (and not always in a good way

Some of our best nights have involved more than a few single men

If it wasn't for single men a lot of our clubs would close down.

yes your right .But chams you feel safe with loads there and they know how to cope With the mix well and I do wish it never cost so much for them single men to go as ladies don't have to pay half as much .. But its a business after all they need to make money and demand is there for single men as lots would love to go and do go . Most clubs do this you will find.

Swinging clubs, for me, is a hobby, a release from my day to day working life, for enjoyment and relaxation. Now if I was a single male who's hobby was football, for example, how much would I pay for a season ticket and match tickets over the year?

I've been told by more than one club though that if you enter as a couple you should leave as a couple and not split up once inside as singles. So if that's the case and the person you go with acts like a twat and gets kicked out/feels unwell or has to leave for any other reason you've got problems.

this.

I prefer house parties to clubs, but in general I think if you just be yourself and don't act like a dick (I'm not suggesting anyone who's replied to this thread is btw), it's not that difficult. Respect is earned and not a right I guess, and unfortunately there are a load of idiots about. I try not to be one of them and if I need to jump a few hurdles to prove it, fine with me.

If a guy is a paid member and turns up on a night when there's already loads of guys in the club... will he be turned away?

No if you have membership you are welcome to visit anytime"

To reiterate what was said earlier in the thread - see above.

If you are a Member - after paying the required amount - you are '... welcome to visit anytime.'

Hope thats clear to other posters...?

This thread makes us think we need to return to Chams again soon.

We haven't been in probably over a year.

Abfabs is our local now but different from Chams.

We have always had a great time their and made lots of friends.

If there is a market clubs can charge what they want.

If there is no market then the club will fail.

You either pay and go or don't.

It's like everything else in life.

It's our own choice

Yes, 'At the moment' being the point, us single ladies are usually charged £8 entrance, but the management are running a trial with free entrance 'at the moment'.

I point this out purely for the benefit of all those people who are constantly moaning that us single ladies 'never' have to pay an entrance fee.

Granted, £8 is only a quarter of the single guys' fee of £33 but yes, we DO usually have to pay an entrance fee and I for one am perfectly happy to do so

I actually have a couples membership but I never 'said' that there was anything 'fair' about the pricing structure, just that we do usually have to pay an entrance fee.

I have said in previous threads that I do agree that there are a lot more single guys who use/want to use Chams than couples and single ladies and that if the pricing structure were the same across the board then we would have a club full of single guys and very few couples and single ladies, then with a customer base so single guy heavy, it would put a lot of couples and single ladies off going, and as there wouldn't be enough of them, the single guys would begin to think twice about going themselves.

Another factor to take into consideration with the entrance fee is that everyone has to understand that unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated whether male or female and any guilty member can be removed from the club without reimbursement of their entrance fee. I accept that ANYONE can display unacceptable behaviour but it is more common amongst the single guys and hopefully the higher cost of membership and entrance fees SHOULD make them stop and think before they behave in such a manner.

Please note I did say ANYONE can misbehave and it is just MORE COMMON amongst single guys

Membership/entry fee to a club is to use the facilities not a guarantee of sex
