"How old is too old to go clubbing?"

There's a lady who's posted on that Shoom 88 group saying that she's 64 & well up for the reunion in June (that would've made her 40 in '88).

Says it all for me... it's not where ya from (or how old you are) but where ya at

Don't think there is a correct answer to this.

I think you will know. It depends on where you are going out, how you feel, how old others are, how well you have aged and whether you give a shit.

well im 42 now and still feel i can keep up with most of em still to this day....with a little tinsy winsy bit of aid..... .not that i go out like i used to , so when i do, i like to make the most of it

If ya still feel like going clubbing, go clubbing. If ya still enjoy it, why stop?
Age is just numbers. If you enjoy the vibe still, its all good.

When I was 18 I used to thing 30 was too old.....now I'm nearly 40 I tend to agree that your only as old as you feel however as I have got older so I have expected more from each night ie VIP or a like minded crowd?

One thing I always say is that I am so glad that I grew up when I did when the scene was new, fresh and exciting, I feel sorry for many of of the kids of today trying to sample what we went through ....... Problem is that you can make the music the same even the venue but it's missing the vibe and excitement of the early years. One thing that surprised me last time I went out properly ( couple of years back) was the number of phones and cameras. Years gone by they would have been nicked or people would have objected to being photographed......recall famous Fantasia photo with guy trying to stop Donavan.
