So I've been wondering for a while...
Lots of people refer and make comment about staff and management in the club reviews. Aside from the initial show round, I don't really get why this is.
I mean when I go to a club, it's to play and the venue that counts. No disrespect but I'm not bothered who's running the show.
Just an observation  |

In some clubs , there are staff changing sheets, encouraging dancing, generally helping people to mingle by introducing newbies etc. and their personalities all help make a good night. Also going as a single lady, knowing who is staff and that they are approachable is vital. |

It helps if the club staff make the club a welcoming place to feel safe and vet the people who attend. When it is full of a similar class of people, the fun follows naturally. A good club is like an oasis in the desert, rare and much converted. |

"Don't the staff make the club? Same as any other business? "
Absolutely! Good staff and management can make or break a club.. would you stay at a badly run hotel, drink in a poorly managed pub or eat in a resturant where staff couldn't be bothered ? IMO a good club is one where the staff and management treat their customers well and try to ensure everyone has a good time... and that's not always easy! A x |

"The staff at the clubs Defo make the club/night what it is. If they engage the customers and lighten the atmosphere the people are more relaxed.  "
Exactly if the staff are rude your have a negative about the venue. Which may not entice you back. |

I agree with this. 
Some staff at some clubs have actually made me feel not safe.  |

"Yes, but at some you get to know people and become friends, or at the very least, acquaintances  "
I'd definitely consider Greg and all the girls at OurPlace4Fun friends. Can't say enough nice things about the team there. |

Staff at a club are so important and do make or break it in our book. One of our favourite club workers makes a good club something special by creating a buzz, introducing and entertaining people with his amazing humour. We've been to the club when he isn't there and it really isn't the same. So a bit more to it than taking money and pouring drinks. |

"Ok I get the thing for single females.
But I can't recall seeing any staff around clubs apart from bar and reception areas which I'd only see going in .."
Each club is the owners interpretation of swinging, as fortunately we don't have chains of clubs. So each club is different so meeting the owners will give you an insight into the club atmosphere. We feel that in the early hours the staff and owners help through introductions to regulars, also a point of contact for questions and issues. And we have all had those awkward silences lol as we look around the room and good hosts notice and come chat.
Having shared the above view, it's nice to know through reviews if on your first visit you will be helped through until you have made those new friendships. |

. Well I can safely say that's not the case in our fave club
Staff float around, this may be collecting glasses or tidying play rooms or changing sheets, as they are floating around they will chat, say hi, and generally make everyone feel welcome and comfortable, they will have a laugh and giggle and this is such a help when nerves set in
When the staff are on nights off they are regulars at the club, it's not just a job, it's a lifestyle Mrs blue eyes |

As a member of staff at a club i personally feel its nice to have a friendly face to welcome people inside the club. Those first timers are nervous and if the ice is broken by a member of staff then its half the battle.
We pride ourselves in showing new members around telling them the rules and just making sure their experience is a good one. Introducing them to other members so their not sat in the corner alone and also making sure theyre happy throughout their visit. You may see that as brown nosing or ott but members love it and the staff love to get to know the members too xx |

your club does sound good changing sheets ,don't get that at our club once the squirters have soiled the beds there left soaking wet and know one else can use these beds and this can happen early on in the night so rules out a lot of bed space . |

Have to say at my favourite club the staff make it so welcoming and friendly they make sure everyone is safe and happy, the place is kept immaculate and and are always there for advice or laugh.
Good staff in my opinion make townhouse what it is they do way beyond just show you around. |

"without them we wouldn't be fucked! 
Well thats not true
People meet on here everyday without going anywhere near a club"
. It may be that the couple who made the above statement don't meet unless in clubs, they may just have been referring to themselves, not the Royal 'we' so to speak Mrs blue eyes |
