Questions about opening a new club

meowkittyhascla · 03-16-2004, 11:02 AM

I think it would be fun to open a swinging club. We live out in the sticks of NWMO and the closest club is in Kansas City. It's a disadvantage to be over a hundred miles away from a great party. After getting home from work, dealing with homelife...it's hard to get my better half to want to go out to a club. Has anyone opened up a club and how did you do it?

Opening a club is not that much different than opening any other kind of business.

Develop a business plan, set a budget, review your plan with your accountant and attorney, obtain a location, get the necessary permits for the renovations the location will no doubt need, hire the contractors, get your occupancy permit and then your business license, get your federal employer Id # then hire your staff. You'll probably want to hire a sound engineer to design your sounds system.

It sounds as though you want a club for you and your wife to go to that is close by. IF you really want to give up swinging then you should by all means open a club for others to enjoy.

Clubs are very much a break even proposition. Fun is a question, the ppls that have successful clubs NEVER participate.

We think private house parties are the way to go. We don't think it has to be a business, just announce parties to be held in your private home. You will, I feel, be surprised at how many in your area are interested. The Internet is a powerful tool for getting a party together.

We ask for a voluntary donation per couple. Most people chip in something or bring food and chips. If we saw that we were seriously coming up short, we would let that be known. Usually the regulars in your group become good friends which is how it should be. To us, it is healthy to go to different homes for the parties for your group. As your group grows, other couples should host the parties sometimes. Again, the Internet is a good way to communicate and let everyone know about parties.

Yes, we did. It's work, too.

You need a plan, a website, a place, a NASCA affiliation
and plenty of time to tend to the nitty gritty of
processing memberships, and wearing the hats of social director,
event planner, webmaster, book and recordkeeper and game leader.

Deep pockets help, too or a partner in your venture.

You need to advertise if you want to
be a success and you need to really love meeting people and what you are doing in general.

Think on these before preceding. More than anything I recommend you get some books on running a nightclub
if you can find any.

Hope this helps ;-*

Anyone that opens up their own club had better plan on putting their sex lives on hold for a while. It's a lot of work!

Yeah, when I want sex, I go home. I'm going to work when I go to my "sex club".
