Hello people, We are running exclusive parties for couples at The House of Du Croix in Bristol. Numbers limited, entertainment and facilities not! For info see www.ducroix.co.uk and email postmaster@ducroix.co.uk

This year I spent New Year's Eve at Mass in Brixton, shouting in the new year with 1200 other fetishists from the UK and beyond. I had fun

Cynthias Nite Club and Bar under the bridge at Tooley Street was the venue for Club Wicked's New Years Eve Masked Ball and optional Dinner. A reputation for being somewhat small and elongated was quickly dispelled this time around as a 5000 square foot spanking new dungeon area was opened up for the first time.

After many years of one-to-one spanking, I am going to start going to fetish clubs like Club Extreme this year. Can someone tell me where to get fetish clothes for the 'larger gentleman'? I have a waist of 46 inches (which will decrease this year!) and sometimes have trouble finding normal clothes.

Hi, I just signed on and I'm brand new to the scene. For me it's not so much a sex thing (yet) but more a cool fashion thing. I really like to look of most fetish clothing (pvc) for its futuristic look, think Bladerunner.

Anne Summers is having a massive Sale. I (finally) managed to get a pvc basque for under ten pounds. They have basques, general underwear and stockings on sale. Worth a look.

Last night I went along to the LFS Fringe Benefits party at The Fringe. I turned up late due to my usual terrible navigation skills, left early due to being bored and tired, and froze to death on the way home because someone had broken into my car by smashing the driver's window while I was in the club. Not the best night out I've had recently, it must be said...

Last Friday saw my pervy buddies and I, heading along to Subway City in Birmingham for Scarlets 'The Nightmare before Christmas.'

We went along to 'Seasons Beatings' - billed as The Firms Christmas do - with some trepidation. It was a dark quiet deserted Warren Street that greeted us on a cold slightly wet Sunday evening. True to form The Smugglers Tavern a small pub was there, the windows covered up with paper and The Firm's sign outside.

I went along to the TG Fetish Bazaar in the Purple Turtle again today. The event has now gone monthly, allowing the organisers to put a bit more time into making each one an event in its own right, which seems to be paying off - the place was definitely more crowded than last time I visited, despite the miserable weather today.
