Trumpington Village Hall, Cambridge, cancels bondage on a budget with tea workshop
THE trustees of Trumpington Village Hall have cancelled Peer Rope Cambridge’s “relationship meeting” over concerns that the venus has been booked “under false pretences”:
“It has been brought to [our] attention that the premises have been hired under false pretences by PRC Cambridge.
“When the bookings were made, the activity was described as a ‘relationship support group meeting’. The booking did not fully state the activities undertaken.
“The trustees have therefore cancelled all future bookings and have no further comment to make.”
You wonder how this could have been misconstrued, as the Cambridge News reports on the event’s flyer:
“Mr Allen will show you how to truly get a bottom’s attention with canes”
…
“Mistress Bond will chair a group discussion on how to ensure your sessions go with a bang!”
…
“Maid Sarah” will to serve “sandwiches, crisps and fruit”
“Our maid for the day, Sarah, serves tea, coffee and biscuits from 10.30am-4.15pm. The charge for this is included in your entrance fee.”
…
“Ian from The London Tanners will take you through a variety of impact play methods and implements suitable for spanking both naughty and ‘not-so-naughty’ bottoms”.
And best of all:
“Moot will lead a group discussion of various ways to indulge in BDSM (Bondage & Discipline, Dominance & Submission), without breaking the bank”
Cllr Sheila Stuart, who represents Trumpington on Cambridge City Council says:
“I think this is becoming much more common and less hidden with the popularity of Fifty Shades of Grey, and has brought it much more out in the open. Cambridge has a very diverse community so I am not surprised. And they do seem to be very organised and I am pleased to see they are also offering catering.”
And get a load of how well folded those napkins are. That ones’a swan. That one’s a boat. And that one looks like Mrs Archibald the rector’s wife riding a sealion.
We dug around the web a little to find out more.
An advert for a similar event runs:
On behalf of all of the organisers, we are pleased to announce Peer Rope Cambridge, presented by Cambridge Kink AND our first but hopefully not last Peer Whips Cambridge in next room.
The admission fee for PRC/PWC will be the same as always, and participants can move between the two halls as they wish.
Peer Whips:
PWC is designed for those who own a single tail whip who need a safe space to practice cracking it. It is held in the large hall, in a separate space from the rope area. Bring your single tail whip (and ear plugs/defenders), and practice your technique.
NB The whip event is not suitable for complete novices – there will not be any tuition available. We intend this to be for target practice only, not on live bunnies.
And if the media wants to speak with them, it had best try harder. Their website says:
Members of the Press are not welcome at our events
Cambridge Kink is not interested in receiving any media coverage
We are not interested in contributing to articles
Cambridge Kink are not available for comment, even ‘off the record’
Another site adds a spot of history:
Rope Bondage Peer Workshops started a few years ago in San Francisco. This is only the third one ever held outside the USA. And we do things a bit differently than they do. To a large extent, by how we behave at this event, we are deciding how such things will get done in the future. Please behave in a way that will make future workshops likely to be fun events full of helpful courteous people doing lots of great bondage. This is not a disco. This is not a commercial event with people paid to do stuff for you. It is more a class than a party. Floor space and time on equipment is a scarce resource. This is a rope bondage event, organised by rope bondage enthusiasts for rope bondage enthusiasts.
Amusingly, the Hall’s manager is called Roger…
