It was great to be a part of the first Sinsations, a new event in Derbyshire. I can’t remember a better first night of any event.

Firstly the venue was excellent. It was as clean and well done as any I’ve been to. Normally a swingers club they naturally enough did not have a lot of BDSM furniture but everyone knew that before the event so nobody had a reason disappointed by that, also there were large benches in every room that were put to good use by many kinksters during the evening.

There was a really good crowd came to the event, it was busy and convivial and I have to congratulate the organisers for the way they put this together, publicised it and ran it.

We were there to do a rope bondage demonstration and a BDSM 101 class.

The rope bondage show was newaza or floor work. Some of the people had seen us doing suspension based shows before so it was nice to be able to show them something closer to the kind of bondage that we enjoy in private. We would like to thank everyone that gave us such kind comments after the show and those that have posted and blogged about it since. We are really blown away by all your kindness and generosity.

The BDSM 101 class is something that we present together and changes every time we do it. We try to cover the basics for a BDSM newcomer in a reasonable time. Again we have to thank everyone that gave such positive feedback and told us that they found it informative.

All in all it was a tremendous first night for a new event. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. We got to talk to some great people and heard nothing but positive comments about the venue and organisation. It was the first time that the venue had hosted a BDSM event and I know that they were very impressed by the crowd that attended.

We look forward to the next Sinsations event.
