Damn. This story on the BBC News site today is uncannily close to The Spearmint Badger.

The owner, Roger Stanbury, an ex-dairy farmer, is quoted as saying:

I wouldn't have put on a swingers' club unless I knew there were a lot of people who wanted this type of thing.

Which must be reassuring for his neighbours, whose primary concern, I would imagine, is whether or not he's fully thought through the business model.

Because while a local swingers' club is just a bit of "sexy fun", a failed swingers club would obviously be an embarrassment to the whole village.
