I'm new to Manchester and I wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction to get involved in the fetish scene around here, or where to meet likeminded folks.

The new venue is wonderful if I say so myself, its like a large light n airy comfy living room, we can create our special Leeds munch ambience with our own sound system (low and background naturally!) The bar staff are friendly helpful switched on and compassionate - and if one wants to dress fetish one can, although jeans and trainers are equally welcome.

The TV company that brought you Big Brother and Changing Rooms wants to hear from you about your best, worst and funniest sexual experiences for a documentary! Please call Claire on 020 8222 4192 or Bryony on 020 8222 4156. Alternatively you can email us at contributors@endemoluk.com

After being told that London Communities where going to hold another play party just after my birthday I was jumping up and down like a child with a full bag of sweets on a pogo stick.

On Saturday Torture Garden put on a one-off event at an alternative venue rather than their usual monthly event at Mass. The venue was the Colosseum, I was there, and it was really good

DV8 @ La Chambre is currently Sheffield's one and only fetish night - a sorry state for a city of its size, but nevertheless a welcome addition to the Yorkshire scene. It has been running for about two years now, under the careful control of Marie and Barry, the owners of the La Chambre club.

BiCon is the UK National Bisexual Convention, a fun long weekend for discussion of things somewhat related to bisexuality, sex and sexuality and for partying with like-minded people. BiCon is a convention for all bisexuals, their partners and friends to discuss, celebrate, analyse and be confused and entertained by bisexuality in all its colourful forms.

At long last we are back! We are proud to announce that the next Absolution will be on Friday the 26th July - once more at the Pink Punters, Fenny Stratford, nr. Milton Keynes.

Using Diane Vera's 'Nine Degrees of Submission' as our starting point, we'll be exploring what submission means to us, how we practice it, and the differences between submission and masochism (or 'bottoming'). We'll also consider the emotional safety issues that emerge from submitting to someone else's will. This session is aimed at submissive men and women. If you would like further information, please visit our website (www.duty-bound.co.uk) or email us info@duty-bound.co.uk.

We are pleased to announce that we have agreed a change in Door Entrance fees with the venue mangement so that now prices will be £25 per couple and £15 per single person.
