The government seem to be persisting with their ‘reclassification’ of strip venues at some point in 2009, the bill was put to MPs earlier in 2008 but it looks like they will have another bash next year. If you did not know this will involve all clubs being classified as ‘sex encounter’ establishments needing draconian licensing which will be even more arbitrary than ever.

The proposals could could also see caps on the number of clubs, but the government have been quiet about how this will work. Will there be a national total, a cap on numbers per capita or just a certain number per town! All of these options have obvious draw backs, they will result in either a even stronger polarisation of the big cities or more clubs opening in smaller towns (was this not the problem in the first place?)

For anyone working in the industry this will be disasterous, it should be noted that strip clubs were one of the few industries bucking the Labour created recession. Strippers criminalised, venues shut, punters having to travel further than ever and less money in the Tax coffers for Gordon Brown.

2008 was also the first year when a venue Club Redd was attacked by arsonists and virtually destroyed. This is the first attack of its kind (feel free to correct me there) on a club which was granted a license by the local council and broke no laws. Whether this a US type religious backlash it remains to be seen, you dont improve your local area by torching a new business in the middle of the night!!! Arson was confirmed by the Fire Services and police after a concerted campaign of hate mail to the club owner.

Reading the UK Strip Club Forum, the profits to be made in the business are right down which will make it even harder to keep venues going in 2009. Does the government think of stuff like peoples wages when they participate in withchunts like the recent lap Dancing Bill? Obviously not, looks like they will not be in power for much of 2009!

However, club numbers are still up on the previous year with 359 listed for the UK and Ireland. Hustler the huge US concern have opened a club in the UK, while the larger UK chains have expanded likewise.

Happy Christmas to all users of UK Strip Clubs and readers of this blog (go on there must be some!) from all the team we hope you have a cracking good time and hopefully enjoy a few decent dances over the period!

This has been a big year for us, we have had plenty of media of mentions in the media worldwide including the ABC News and BBC News plus we have added some rather splendid new features to the site which should take it to the next level. Below is a run down of some of the main additions we have made:

Ratings system – rate clubs to let everyone know what you think.

Comments system - Will be up and running sometime in the new year.

Individual club pages – A new page for each venue.

Additional club fields - Find out a little more detail on each club before you venture outside.

Its that time of year again, and your local strip venue may be needing your custom after a rough year! You may been planning a night out with work collegues, buddies or friends from school. Below are a few basic tips for maximising your fun:

Book ahead - You will get all sorts of discounts plus most clubs would like to have advance bookings for any large groups, so avoid dissapointment. Many venues will have vouchers, groups deals or drinks promos as well.

Arrange accomodation and transport in advance – Some venues will have free limo transport, so check them out in advance

What hours are clubs open from – Not all clubs are open untill 4pm or 6pm so check with listings and contact clubs if required. If you are going to more than one club check you can get from A to B and still have time in each place.

Hopefully you will have a great night out, despite what the press want everyone to think, strip clubs and lap dancing clubs are still a great way to have a laugh with your mates in a grown up environment!

Peter Stringfellow took time out his busy to visit Westminster this week to discuss proposed legislation to control (read limit) strip clubs numbers and make thousands of women across the UK ‘sex workers’.

While this is a strip clubs blog, the government should take more time to resolve the financial disaster they created rather than stopping people spending their money on what they want to. A few jounalists and female MPs dont represent millions of people across the UK, taking money out of the economy is not the way to turn around the credit crunch! The strip industry has been one of the few sectors to resist the downturn.

Anyway…the only thing the media could some up with to talk about was Stringfellows hair cut! Not news in any sense.

One one side was an ex lap dancer who claimed that the business ‘objectified women’, and a present one who said that they dont earn as much cash as MPs thought. Members of the LDA were present to promote the industry.

The government has now dealt with this matter and can go back to taking their share of the money. I seem to remember that few MPs took the time to vote in the lap dancing Bill of earlier this year, meaning that the backlash against clubs was little more than media sabre rattling from the usual suspects.

Peter Stringfellow gets some free promotion and New Labour gets to deal with another topic…at our expense

UK Strip Clubs has been around for over 3 and a half years now is recognised as the foremost lap dancing and strip related directory in the UK with around 1,000 unique users every day and loads of positive mentions in the media. UK Strip Clubs is the site the media come to when they want to know the real state of play with strip venues

You probably knew that….but did you know that the UK Strip Clubs Forum has over 6,000 members and is used by both the industry and regular punters? We have over 350 venues listed and update our listings on a weekly basis with new venues.

UK Strip Clubs offers advertising including two sizes of banners, the Lap Dancingwear section and Enhanced Listings.

Unlike previous strip sites UK Strip Clubs can be viewed on an office computer or a family PC without worrying about the content, links or images. This is a conscious effort to make UK Strip Clubs ‘office friendly’ as lap dancing (in particular) ventures into the mainstream of popular culture, frequented by sportsmen, TV personalities musicians and business people.

If you want to book your Christmas Night out for work or with your chums outside work, UK Strip Clubs is a great place to start. THE most accurate free directory covering England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

There have not been any more venues to report for a while now, which probably means the total number of clubs is calming down to a manageable level rather than expanding forever. There are over 320 venues listing in the UK so this is probably a upper level to the number that the mainland UK can support.

The number seems to be a lot more spread in terms of towns in the UK, with more clubs in previously untouched areas. These are the clubs which have courted the most controversy with the press and MPs, however the recent Lap Dancing Licensing Bill was recently rejected-meaning all the hot air of recent months came to nothing. The various political parties do that all the time, as we know, react to press hype and then it all fizzles out when the hype is over. Would the government (or opposition) want to lose all the revenue that comes with lap dancing and strip clubs in the current finanacial climate? I bet George Bush wished he had not knocked billions of dollars of online gambling revenue on the head when the financial crisis hit!

If anyone knows (roughly) how much the industry makes each year I would be interested to know! It must be tens of millions, and the economy could not really afford to lose that.

The strip and lap dancing business is much maligned, but it is one of the few sectors still making money!
