The members of the Rope_UK group currently run a Rope Bondage Peer Workshop once every three months.
It is not a disco. It is not a commercial event where people
are paid to do stuff for you. It is not a club. It is not a
munch or social meeting where it is ok for lots of people to just chat and watch. Nobody turns up just to entertain an audience.
It is a workshop. That means it is a hands on class, where
the aim is for as many people as possible to spend as much time as possible using rope: either being tied, doing the tying, or teaching.
Floor space and time on equipment is a scarce resource. The whole event is only 4 hours long, and there may only be 2 or 3 suspension frames to share between 80 people. For everyone to get the most out of the event requires everyone attending to help out, and show consideration and
sense.
About Rope Bondage Peer Workshops in general.
A Rope Bondage Peer Workshop is any rope bondage workshop that is
a) Free of charge. (No membership or entrance fee is required for the workshop itself, or to get into any building or event required for entrance, just like a munch.)
b) Free of authority. (The participants at the workshop are
peers who are helping each other, not bosses who can tell
you what to do. Of course if you offend enough people, say
by breaking the photo policy, the venue may decide to kick
you out, just like at a munch.)
