Hey guys, we will be re-opening
@CLUBSOP
on Jan 23rd at The Underground Club, King's X, then every Sunday from 1pm-10pm. £12 entry (includes coat/bag check) NHS Covid, Vax passport must be shown at the door. PLEASE don't arrive with any cold symptoms or persistent coughing...
23 years ago today, we opened the club (then P.I.S) for the first time. I'm still hopeful that we'll eventually reopen, but even ordinary pubs, clubs etc...are still on the edge re: Covid. So it'll be awhile yet, I'm afraid. Happy Birthday & HNY. Hopefully see you all soon 💛
Hi guys, have been waiting to see what the RMT etc...were going to do, and can now confirm that the first SOP birthday party since 2020, will take place on Sun, Jan 15th. We will be 24 years old!!!
Obviously, free entry on the day. Please retweet if you can.
💛
Amazing day today, thanks to all those that turned up and waited patiently to get in. And OMG there were some HOT blokes in. One of our regulars always catches my eye 😉. Thanks to Terry, Serge and Simon and all the Central Station staff. You were all FAB! 💛
Anyone caught with or taking drugs will be barred for LIFE. Should the user end up needing medical assistance, it often means everyone having to leave. It also puts the staff under immense pressure. Not to mention the danger to the user, and unwanted attention from authorities...
Morning! Well, it's starting to look like July 19th is the day ALL restrictions are lifted, but we've all seen how quick these things can change. Once the final decision has been made, I'll speak to the venue and hopefully an opening date will be confirmed here. 🤞💛
Hi everyone. Sorry for the lack of news. It seems there is some light at the end of the tunnel with the vaccine rollout. The total end to social distancing is still way off. I'm now talking to CS about eventually returning. Please be patient, and WATCH THIS SPACE! 💛
Hey everyone, so it's agreed that all restrictions will be lifted on July 19th. I'm waiting to speak with the venue and get things confirmed about returning. I will let you know the second when I have news. 💛
What a day/night! A big thanks to all who turned up to make the re-opening a MASSIVE success. It was great to see so many familiar faces and lots of new ones! Sorry some of you had to wait upstairs for a while. Look forward to doing it all again next week! Lastly, thank you ...
Hello boys. It's still a way off yet, but our 25th Birthday Party is LIKELY to be on Sun, Jan 14th. I'll confirm this very shortly.
25 years...quarter of a century. I feel OLD! 💛
Over 6000 followers!! Thank you all so much. Not bad for a club with no venue. Still looking at options, and although it's difficult, the fat lady ain't singing just yet! 😉 Keep well 💛
Well I'm sure everyone saw the briefing last night. Sounds very promising. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Rest assured though, that we ARE making plans, as we speak, to return to CS asap. I would ask with great respect, please don't PM me asking for a date. I will tweet here
FYI, our venue, Central Station, is celebrating 33 years this weekend...25 of those we have been there!
The boys and I would like to wish Martin & Duncan a very happy birthday and a big thanks for all they do for the gay community. 💛
Afternoon all! PANTS (our underwear/naked club) will be opening again in The Underground at CS every Fri and Sat from 1pm-6pm opening on Fri 15th Oct. Apologies for the on/off openings, but all sorted now! Please pass on to anyone who may be interested.
Only a few days to go until our first birthday bash since before covid. We are 24 years old, and as always, we celebrate that with a free party (coat check £2, please have correct change). Don't forget, it will get VERY busy, so get there early. IF you do have to wait...
We would like to wish all our customers and followers, near and far, a very merry Christmas and a happy and peaceful new year. Hope to see many of you at the birthday do on Jan 15th.
24 YEARS OLD! Can't believe it!
Much Love to you all 💛💛💛
Morning Guys. Do people want me retweeting vids that are posted to
@CLUBSOP
? As you all know, I'm a bit of a prude, but I'm prepared to help out my lovely people. What say you?
distancing is FULLY over, but that does give me time to hopefully find a new venue. I will let you guys know when I have any news at all. Try not to be sad...we've been here before. Most of all...keep well. We WILL see you again! 💛
Please pass this on if you can.
Thanks to everyone who came to our birthday party. And a HUGE thanks to those that waited in the main bar until their number was called. Also, apologies for closing a little early. There was a misunderstanding with management, and before I realised what was happening, it was too-
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and hopefully a soaking wet New Year!
We miss you all, but hopefully better news re: the club at some point soon. 💛💛💛
1 step forward and 2 steps back. That's how it feels just now. I'm sure like me, most of you will be looking forward to seeing the back of 2020. Anyway, for those here in the UK, hope you enjoy the mini sept heatwave coming. And please, all of you wherever you are, keep safe!
Morning boys! Really looking forward to tomorrow. Again, if you're paying by cash, it would be helpful if you have the right money, but you can also pay by card at the door and the bar. See you at 1. 💛
21st birthday party tomorrow. Everyone excited?
Remember to get there early, there will be a wait at busy times. The upstairs bar will be open for those waiting to get in. See you tomorrow!
Hi guys, bad news I'm afraid, SOP will not be returning to The Underground at CS any time in the near future. The nature of
@CLUBSOP
means we simply will not pass the council risk assessments, which I guess will have Covid in mind from now on. I'm not ready to give up on SOP yet
For those coming to the re-opening on Sunday, I'm guessing it will be busy, so to get you in swiftly, please have your C19 vax proof ready, and the correct fee would be a huge help with change. We also have contactless payment. Central Station will open their main bar open for...
Hi guys. Well sadly we (SOP/PANTS) are now CLOSED until this awful health crisis is over. Hopefully it won't be for too long. Please keep posting, we need the distraction (there is only so much Homes Under The Hammer one can stomach). Most of all keep smiling and KEEP WELL! 💛
Looks like there will be another (hopefully short) delay in opening things up. Very frustrating, I know, but better to be safe than sorry. Enjoy the glorious weather, and keep safe. 💛
Hi everyone. No news about a new venue for SOP just now, but for those that enjoyed PANTS at The Underground, it's re-opening on Fri 10th Sept, and then every Fri and Sat from midday-6pm. Underwear/naked.
Hi guys, just a polite reminder, that you MUST get changed inside the club, and not on the stairs/landing top or bottom. See you Sunday...bring change 😂💛
No updates just yet. Will let you know as soon as I hear something from the venue. It seems there is more to "Freedom Day" than just opening the doors again. Keep safe. 💛
Hey boys, just to confirm, we are most definitely open on Easter Sunday (tomorrow). Have fun!
Oh, and don't forget to try and bring the right money, if paying with cash. Ta. 💛
Morning all. Hope everyone is ok. Staying home (if possible). The highlight of my week so far was deciding what to wear for the Tesco grocery delivery! Even in these dark times one must maintain standards. 💅 🤣
Anyway, keep well, and try to stay positive. 💛
Nearly that time! If we could ask those attending on Sunday, to avoiding bringing huge amounts of gear for the coat check. Also, we will be charging £2 for the cc, so please have coins if poss. The main bar of Central Station will be open all day for those waiting to get in.
as soon as I know. Remember, there is a 5-week break between each lifting of restrictions, so the VERY earliest we'll know an actual date is 5 weeks before June 21st. We WILL get there in the end! In the meantime, keep safe 💛
Afternoon boys! Hopefully you're all looking forward to tomorrow. Just a quick reminder about trying to bring the correct entry fee if paying by cash. So far, you've all been magnificent! See you tomorrow 💛
Good morning everyone. It's a bit early for a birthday party date, but short of a disaster, the first Sunday in Jan (5th) is the plan. We'll be 21 years old!!!
Hello everyone. Hope you all are well. Most of the
@CLUBSOP
crew met up at Central Station for a drink last week. Was great to see everyone. All of us are missing you guys and the club. Hope to see you all soon. Keep well 💛
and will continue to look at other options. Sorry I don't have better news at this time. We are looking at doing something else on Sunday's in the meantime, but it won't be w/s related I'm afraid. As I said, will keep you all updated. Keep well 💛
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
As usual, we will be CLOSED on Christmas Eve. I need to make myself pretty for Santa.
We are OPEN NYE, 1-10pm.
25th Birthday do Jan 14th.
Have a good weekend boys, please retweet. 💛
Morning! I won't be with you today, but I'm sure our boys will look after you. If using cash, PLEASE try to remember to bring the correct money if you can. Have a soaking wet day! The new sling is on order, and hopefully will be with us soon! I'm told it'll be worth the wait!💛
I wasn’t sure we’d make past the first year, but 19 years later, were still here! Hope to see you all today. Don’t forget it’s FREE entry. It’s the least we can do to say thanks for all your support. Happy birthday to all of us. It’s been a long journey. X
All of us
@CLUBSOP
would like to wish all you a very happy new year, and look forward to seeing you at the 19th birthday party on Jan 7th. Thank you all for the support over the years X
Hi everyone. Some very sad news I'm afraid. Central Station sent me an email yesterday saying they were going to utilise the basement for a cabaret bar while social distancing was still in place. I get this, but the email wasn't very clear about the future (post covid). I spoke
I see Wetherspoons pubs might be opening soon, but just because some of their customers stink of piss, doesn't mean w/s will be acceptable there. Be warned. 💛
Hope you all enjoy the 20th b'day party today. Thank you all so much for supporting the club over the years. Unfortunately I'm not very well and won't be able to make it. But Terry and the gang will look after you! Happy Birthday!!
Morning guys, You've probably heard about the threatened closure of
@XXLLondon
which would be devastating to the London/UK gay scene. Please take time to sign the petition.
