Next munch - January 5th

[Confirmed - bar will be open and munch will go ahead as usual]

S&Ms Bar, 176 Cuba Street, Te Aro. From 7:30pm but some folk are usually early.

http://www.scottyandmals.co.nz/

All 18+ are welcome to attend. Dress code is everyday street wear, as it is an informal meeting at a public venue. As such there should be no open display of BDSM activity so no obvious attention is drawn to ourselves.

As with December yours truely will not be there, but each time we've been only people in the downstairs area so it won't be hard to find us. Might not be that many of us at this munch seeing as it's the holiday period, but there's always been someone even at this time of year.

Hot Pink Bits

BATS Theatre, Dec 1 - 12, 9pm, book 04 802 4175 or book@bats.co.nz

I saw this show myself around a couple of years back... definitely good for fun & laughs!

Next munch - December 1st

There won't be any balloons this time (as I won't be there) but so far each time we've been there we've been only people in the downstairs area.

Fetish Ball barely more than a week away

www.thefetishball.com
Wgtn party on Fri 13th - nice!

The area that TES people will be in is down the back behind the stage - there is a short accessway to the left of the stage (as you look at it). There will be some access control to make sure too many people don't congregate where they might get hit by a flogger on a backswing!

The FB people have kindly provided us with some free & discounted tickets which have been distributed amongst our folk... membership has it's privileges, as the old American Express slogan goes!

I'm not too sure about this!

Some may agree!

Munch 3 November, and Fetish Ball

Biggest munch in quite some time last night, great!

Same time and place 3rd November. The only change is that we've run out of Blue and Black balloons, so it will now be two balloons of any colour that we'll have on a table (except the occassional time it's forgotten!).

Looks like we're set for the Fetish Ball, with our own play area which will be bigger and a bit more out-of-the-way than last time.

Munch, October 6th

5 weeks between the munches this time around.

The new venue seems to be very well received and the September munch was a great mix of people and discussion.

See the previous blog post for venue/location :-)

To be clear, we are no longer at Brix/Bistro 169 ! One of our first timers unfortunately went there last time which just happened to be the first month we had moved, d'oh!!

Munch, September 1st

New venue but still first Tuesday of the month from 7:30pm.

S&Ms Bar, 176 Cuba Street, Te Aro.

Cats that liked to be spanked

The more we know about animals of the non human kind, the more it seems we are alike!

Don't forget our munch tomorrow night (Tue 4th) - see two posts ago.

Asphyxia Corsetry - Wellington visit

First a disclaimer - TES does not specifically recommend or endorse any vendor. This is provided for your general info only.

'Ivy Asphyxia' is doing a North Island tour. She'll be at Hole In The Wall from 6pm-9pm on Friday 21st August.

She says: "I'm spending about a month cruising round the north island throwing lil asphyxia tea parties all over the place. These will involve y'all getting to meet me, ask questions, try on tester corsets, drink far too much tea (or whatever is going at the time hehe) and get measured up for your own asphyxia corset.
I'm going to be in each town for at LEAST three-ish days around the time of the party so if you can't make it to the party and have your heart set on playing with some corsets please DO flick me a message and I'll make time for you :)"
