Newsletter - December 2008

Dear subscribers,

Well it's almost LAM time again with our December event happening on Sunday the 7th, this our second month at our new venue of the Rise Bar @ 49 Lavender Gardens SW11 1DJ

The Rise Bar for those of you who did not manage to make last month's LAM offers a great space to shop, chill out and socialise. The front of the ground floor will be reserved for socialising while the back and sides of the ground floor of the venue will be filled with stalls with the outside courtyard available for smokers and more importantly for you to purchase those wonderful crépes from My Lady’s Crépes, upstairs you will find more shopping opportunities with over 20 more stalls plus a second bar which also serves a range of hot food.

We will be having two Christmas-themed workshops this month which will be hosted by SiMply workshops. The first will be Oh Xmas Tree - Creative stapling with Firemynx and SF Freak @ 1pm and Present Wrapping — Mummification by Master Cosmic @ 4pm. The workshops will be held in a curtained off area upstairs with handouts and copies of the slides available to the first 50 people.

This month we will also be making LAM cash available for you to purchase in £5 Vouchers for Christmas Presents or Secret Santa’s just ask at the front desk.

As always we will have the LAM entry draw of £25 LAM cash for two lucky visitors.

We have the return of several stalls this month after their brief trip up north for the Whitby Goth Weekend plus Tarts n Tease will be offering you the chance to taste the delights of their Chocolate fountain.

The event will be in support of the Spanner Trust who continue to challenge the laws with regards consensual SM and assault as well as making available a fantastic resource about the planned Extreme Pornography legislation.

The LAM After Market Party is on again as usual at a venue very close to this month’s LAM and offers a great chance to chill out socialise and test those new toys. Tickets are £5 at the LAM from Andrex Puppy, Volcanic Sparks or the community desk.

December also offers you the chance to partake in two other excellent events; on the 13th we have a Knife play workshop; agenda is as follows:

1pm - Health and safety introduction - Badg1Vo & firemynx_B
2pm - Introduction to knives and knife play - WarlockUK
4pm - Knife play with electrics and fear scenarios - Cosmic1 & Andrex Puppy
5pm - Supervised knife play session
7pm - Workshop closes

Sunday 14th December Bondage Workshop with Chanta Rose 1pm – 4.30pm

Inescapable bondage how to use simple ties in combination to produce restraining results from spread-eagling to interrogation and spinal boards.

The workshop is followed by a pansexual rope party for enthusiasts of all skill levels. It's a great chance to learn, tie, be tied or just enjoy a diverse range of rope styles.

The party is in support of The Spanner Trust doors open at 5pm until 7pm the event finishes around 11pm when people are all tied out!

January's LAM will also be held at the Rise Bar and is a chance to see in the New Year and catch up with all the gossip of who did what and where over the festive break.
