Last I heard, Absolution had got messed around by both of their regular venues so much that they had stopped trying to organise events for a while until they found a venue they felt they could rely on...

As for other clubs in the surrounding area, I believe there is a swingers club in Northampton which has fetish nights, but is very expensive for single males to join for obvious reasons... I haven't heard of any others at all.

They are trying hard to find another venue and if anyone has any ideas for a suitable scene-friendlyplace around the Milton Keynes area I am sure they would be delighted to hear of it. Absolution is run by Tony who also owns/runs Shockwaves, a tattoo/piercing/fetishwear shop in Conniburrow in Milton Keynes. He or his assistant Richard can be reached by telephone there. They have a mailing list for Absolution so if you get onto that you will be among the first to know when they find a venue

oph :o)

Got this in my email today:

thanks for the message and sorry for the delay, I have just got a new modem as the last one went fut. The state of play re Absolution is that we are still looking for a suitable venue here in MK so when one arises I will let you and the readership know.

Looks like I was about right... temporarily dead, but fully intending to rise from the grave as soon as opportunity presents itself!

They still haven't been able to find a suitable venue (which they define as "needs to have a main dance area and three seperate rooms to be used for dungeon, play room and chill out room", plus a licensed bar). They are still looking and still plan to return as soon as they find a venue...

In the meantime, someone else is putting on an event for all the people who miss Absolution, called Absolutely Alternative, which the Absolution crew sent out an advert for... details are on the events page (28th September)

Regards,
Denny
