London Alternative Market

Newsletter - April 2008

Dear subscribers,

After a few months break due to venue availability we are pleased to announce that the LAM after market party is once again alive and kicking. This month it will be held at a pub in Battersea where we have sole us of the bar and function area. Dungeon furniture will be provided by the LAM crew so expect a mix of traditional favourites combined with a few items from MC's collection. Tickets and details will be available on the day, the party starts when the LAM finishes and continues until closing time. The venue is about 10 minutes travel from the LAM and is close to several train stations and on a major bus route. We are hoping to move it to a new permanent home for May ensuring it will be a regular fixture again.

We have decided to continue our support for the Spanner Trust who are now our default supported cause. It does not mean that we will have a raffle each month but it does mean that the donated portion of the door money will go towards supporting their program of contesting inappropriate legislation and working to appeal the laws that can affect some SM players.

We would also like to welcome to the LAM flock some new stalls

Luxury Love swing – the new generation of leather swings 5 years in the development
Lederstahl – manufacturers of stunning PVC and steel clothing
ProLatex – Latexa rubber wear and bizarre gear
Supernal clothing – made to measure funky gothic and alternative clothing
Violet Moon Tarot reader and Angel card readings

The official schedule for the day is:

11am — Doors open.
12:30pm — LAM workshop SirGuyM presents animal training. SirGuy is one of the leading lights of the UK human animal scene and will be hosting the World Human-pony play championships in June.
2pm — The stage demo will be the pets win prizes, a talent show for human animals and their owners/trainers. Top prize is £50 of LAM cash with a runner up prize of £25.
4pm – LAM draws including £25 for the best dressed pet as well as the usual (should that not be unusual) entry draw of £25

As always if you have any suggestions for workshop, demonstrations and stage shows you would like to see at the LAM let a member of the crew know as we are always interested in your feedback.

We would also like to remind people that photography at the event is only permitted by official photographers. Anyone caught trying to take pictures of the stage show or workshop will be dealt with appropriately. LAM is a relaxed and social place for many people on the scene some of whom are not keen to be pictured at events, to ensure the comfort and confidentiality of all this is our policy.

Looking forward to welcoming you back on the 6^th April.

Regards,

The London Alternative Market Team
