"Drone and photos look to be from 2018 when we went. The security did a great job and shot a drone down. Mirror using old photos just seen the daily mail ones." I was just thinking those photos look familiar from an article I've read before. Was almost going this year and did read they had anti drone tech. Signal blockers of some kind. Hope the weather keeps up for them. | |||

"They have done with the Mail previously, that way they control the article content. Photos have obscured faces. It was the Sun three years ago that got in and didn’t obscure faces; caused a lot of problems for individuals who found themselves suddenly tabloid famous. And, yes, some got compensation eventually. Today’s news will be yesterday’s chip paper, but it can cause problems for people who have had to hide the lifestyle from nearest and dearest or employers. | |||

They also sent a drone up and got a few pics that looked like last years... All this happened on Thursday about 2hrs in from the start. The security were fantastic again and stopped many potential breaches... As for local outrage... obviously they found a couple of shocked pensioners.

The articles in recent months have been positive, and giving more information to dispel myths about swinging. I don't understand why you infer my question was similar to the "bigotry and vile comments" from non-swingers. What I said has been confirmed as true. I thought perhaps the event organisers wanted the press to better understand the event and therefore do a more realistic article. Your attitude however tells me otherwise. | |||

"Maybe it would be worth inviting a journalist from a decent publisher in next year, before guests arrive. Let them take photos of the site set up, do an interview that gives them facts, let’s them see what the event is about, without getting any guests involved. Good publicity for swinging is a good thing and it takes the sensationalism out of the gutter press, because you’ve been open & up front. It’s been quite successful for several clubs now, taking this approach. Just a thought!" Brilliant idea, but the gutter press only want sensationalism. Sex sells. | |||

"Once again the Daily Fail manage to get someone into Swingfields and portraited swingers as degenerates. The readers comments are despicable. Poor souls... It's not difficult to get into any club let's face it lol Most clubs I've been to ban phones and cameras. Xtasia take your phone off you at the door! cmon I've been to a few clubs and my phones never been mentioned, the guy concerned wouldn’t be stupid probably had two phones one stashed in the false bottom of his kit bag "Its a joke Xtasia taking your phone off you and putting in an unlocked cupboard in the passageway. If someone wants to take pics tiny button sized hidden camera or now folk have camera built into their smart watch. We always leave phone locked in our locker all safe when we visit clubs. If the press want in, they will go as a punter like the rest of us and do what they need to do to get a story. At least now since press have to abide by strict privacy rules faces will not be on show in their pictures. | |||

"I read the article on the Daily Fail site earlier and it was bloody hilarious fluff and nonsense mostly padded out with explanations of various swinging terms (Hotwife, Bull, full swap, soft swap) and obviously written by someone who had probably been nowhere near the event. Add to that a series of pictures that were mystifying at best (a picture of the local chapel with no reference to it at all anywhere in the text, another of a white van that apparently had left the site in which they made reference not once, but twice to the fact the male driver was topless!!). Add in a couple of quotes from local elderly residents that didn't really know anything and it all just added up to a ridiculous article." Exactly that. At no point were the press invited in to the festival. None of the organisers engaged with the press at any time. Most of the pictures published were from previous years. There was one picture from this year and it was taken by a high spec drone from quite a distance. There is no fool proof way of dealing with those people who are ignorant of the lifestyle. All those who have negative things to say, just bear a thought to those that work hard to provide an event that is unique, fun and safe. We all do our upmost to provide our customers with a brilliant experience and judging by the reviews, most people experienced this. We will be returning  xxx | |||

There where multiple pictures taken from the ground from this year. Everyone should of been told about the public foot path simple as that!! | |||
