First munch for a new group. Thursday 7th November, the Counting House, George Square, Glasgow, 7.30pm. Starting with munches and working up in time to a play club. Please feel free to come along, and look for the red headed girl dressed in black with the bondage teddy on her table! All are welcome to join our Yahoo group as well...

There was an article on the Birmingham Bizarre Bazaar in the Express and Star on 21 October 2002. It was really nice to see positive press about a fetish event for a change, covering the event in a non-sensationalist way.

Just to let anyone who is interested know, the first Munch for the Cumbria BDSM group is to be held at 5:30pm Sunday 3rd November. The venue is The Vats Bar, The Brewery Arts Centre, 122a Highgate, Kendal, LA9 4HE. http://www.breweryarts.co.uk/brewery_home.html for a map.

Having moved to the north of england recently it was time to find an event close to home. Birmingham and London are fine but too far, and too much for the finances. MzElektra and I checked out Consent in Preston.

I'm an A level Photography student in my second year. I'm very interested in fetish photography and I asked my lecturer if I could do it as my main project this year - and amazingly he said yes!! I already have a couple of friends willing to pose, but they are really just dressing up for me. I would very much like to meet some people who are genuine fetishists, who walk the walk and don't just talk the talk!!

With the theme ‘A Roman Orgy' I just knew this Scarlet was going to be especially good...also holding new excitement for me, as a close friend of mine has recently become involved with the organisational team. And my boyfriend, and another close friend, were going to be on the team of DJs.

All the reviews of clubs seem to be in the South of the country - are there no good clubs in the North? I have been on the LFS site and find it very informative. I just wondered if there is a similar site for the rest of us out in the sticks.

Winter encroaches slowly and the veils thin... as Samhain approaches and October's syzygy moon swells to fullness, join us on the 18th for a special celebration. London's Dionysian Underground Grapevine and The Art Organisation, in collaboration with Australia's Metamorphic Ritual Theatre Company present a night of orgiastic communion with the Spirit Worlds - the Wild Hunt Bacchanalia, a traditional Samhain Sabbat adapted to today's technological context.

I have a nightclub in central Manchester in which I would like to establish and develop a regular, sustainable, safe and (legendary) fetish club night. I need to hear from an experienced club promoter with the contacts, audience (databases) and skills to make it happen.

My first visit to the Skin Two Rubber Ball, one of the biggest and best known events on the fetish calendar. I don't know about the rest of the people there, but personally I was a bit disappointed... bored, in fact.
