Silverleigh

It is some distance from us so we haven't been before.
I would be interested to hear any comments from others who have been/stayed
there.
Thanks

Thanks for that, we usually go to Bristol Gardens which I would have said
the same about, though recently they have started improving it. We are going
in two weeks time, 18th and 19th.

short of unprintable. Please please exhibit great caution. You might like to
consider Dilly Dallys as an alternative which has had a good press from our
club members.

I'll second that about Dilly Dally's. Stayed there last July and it was
brilliant.
I've seen ads for Silverleigh in BN and am wondering about possibilities
of a visit in the future. In what ways were experiences there
unprintable? (Use printable language please!). Your words send out vibes
about activities of a sexual nature but I could be misunderstanding
horribly. If such things can be substantiated BN should be told.

Read the Silverleigh adverts/literature carefully. They make it
clear that weekends are for couples.
I understand that there is a good reason - namely that couples
are fully equipped for coupling. At least, that's what I've
heard. I believe there's absolutely NO obligation on anyone,
but some might find the ambience a little too hedonistic for
full enjoyment of what is said to be an good venue.

some would like. However there is no pressure to join in and there are some
private massage rooms.
Take a look at http://www.silverleigh.com

But BN was doing fine before Silverleigh joined - only a couple
of years ago, I believe. I doubt the organization would miss it
very much if it had to terminate the club's membership.

Can we get away from using the word 'hedonistic' as a negative
term? All it means is 'pertaining to the pursuit of pleasure or
happiness'. That sums up my own naturism pretty well.

Hadn't realised I had used it in a negative sense - certainly
wasn't my intention.

Sums up all sorts of things very well. Some people's idea of
supreme pleasure or happiness is a heavy-metal rock concert,
with sound levels way above 130dBA, yet I doubt this would find
favour if it was the standard regime for a Silverleigh weekend?
Let's try again. The Silverleigh weekends are lively social
occasions (at least, so I've heard). Some people might find
that the other guests are more lively and sociable than they
were expecting. Some people might prefer a greater degree of
privacy than I understand to be the norm for Silverleigh
weekends.
It's up to you whether you think hypothetical extra-sociable
guests or hypothetical privacy-seeking guests would be negative
influences on your pursuit of pleasure or happiness. They are
different people after different things, and ISTM silly to try
to mix the two. I'm sure the vast majority of Silverleigh
guests enjoy their weekends. I simply tried to point out
aspects which might cause someone NOT to enjoy their weekend,
which would be a pity.

that side of Silverleigh (if it exists) is not what was considered
unprintable.
Our club members were concerned with cleanliness, service, food, ambience,
politeness, value and a genuine naturist experience. Dilly Dally's seemed
well up to the challenge of providing it. Let's say - on reports back from
our members none of whom as a result wished to fulfill the whole time period
of their bookings - there were probably valid questions to ask about
Silverleigh.

A fine piece of weasel wording Tim! You managed to re-phrase it without
using the words "sex" or "swap" or "swing" once!
I took a look at the web site. There is nothing to indicate anything
other than a straightforward naturist environment.
So one is left to imagine why weekends should be couples only. Given the
attitude of some clubs and some naturists to singles it doesn't take too
much imagination to realise why they might choose to have a couples only
environment for some of the time.
According to the website it is only Friday nights when single MEN are
excluded from the club and hotel; single women are welcome any time.
The adverts give me no cause for suspicion of themselves. I remain
interested to hear substantiated claims of anything else so I might know
what to expect if I were ever to go there.

Thank you for clarifying. The thread on which you originally posted has
therefore apparently taken a wrong turn.

That is a cause for concern.

in general admission charges...AND...their Saturday/Sunday SINGLE MALES ONLY

I'll give you tuppence (or even tupence ) just to see the reaction when
a single man stands up in court and has to answer what sort of club
venue it was and why they wanted to get in. I know the questions are
should be irrelevant but they would be asked. :-)

Since it is ostensibly a naturist facility then a single man has a
perfectly valid reason for wanting access.
I don't know why 'Journalist' doesn't test their admission criteria.
Surely a test case would be excellent copy for H&E?

No they wouldn't be asked, if you are implying the reason might be the
/ _alleged_ / swinging, wife swapping etc., when were brothels
legalised in the country - for Silverleigh (defence team) to ask such
a question would be an admission of guilt on Silverleigh's part to
operating a brothel !

Listen if I had wanted to listen to the pantings of an intellect level
with a sheepdog I would have whistled. "swinging, wife swapping etc"
does not equal prositution, moreover there isn't an offence of
owning/operating a brothel , the actual offence is keeping a "bawdy
house" or living off immoral earnings, neither of which would apply
here.
p.mayes
but no one is forced to play or have it "rammed" down your throat.
We find it a very relaxing and friendly place,yes it could stand some
modenisation but it is still a very nice place. We have stayed for
weekends too and it is very nice to swim and use the jacuzzi at 2am
with no-one else about.

Sure? I have unwittingly slept in a brothel in Holland, found out
during a meal in one in Germany and drunk in a bar in Malta that also
turned out to be a "knocking shop" The last one resulted in me and 2
others removigng a door and door frame on leaving , urinating on the
steps ( unwittingly ) of the Spanish embassy ( During a Gibralta crisis)
and spening the night in the gaurd house of RAF Luqa.

AIUI,
Or were someone pays to get sexual favour, directly or indirectly.
The point is, I doubt Silverleigh would ever contest a court case in
the way Marc suggested, if what other say happens there does indeed
happen.

The maltese night isn't one that I would care to repeat these days,I
don't think I could outrun the pimp this time.

WhoosSH! The only plus point of you returning ,is that a new generation
of readers get to discover how even the simplest points can be missed by
someone as slow as you.
