Forums and Workshops

BackDrop sponsors forums and workshops to allow the membership to learn more about specific topics and a place for the more advanced devotees to practice and improve their skills. We usually invite persons or groups who are very knowledgeable to act as moderators. (This also provides an exceptionally good place for the more experienced devotees to develop teaching skills.)

Our Club Calendar and "Party-Lines Newsletter" indicate the times and dates the the following events are held. Some, but not all, of the workshops/forums we have held in the past are:

  • "How to Meet Others" with emphasis on where to find people who have common interests, "body language" and "Rites of Passage" training.

  • Beginners "how to" Workshop. You can learn how to tie a knot, where to buy equipment, or plan a session

  • Bondage Photography demos and discussions.

The dates for forums vary from month to month to allow everyone an opportunity to attend. We provide refreshments at free of charge. Non-members pay ten dollars per couple to attend, members pay five dollars, Inner Circle members attend free of charge.

If there are enough people who are interested in any specific subject or topic, we will establish a workshop on that subject.

If you would like to be involved in a workshop, call and ask for more information.
