Ready to explore a world where you can truly be yourself?
Never been to a Melbourne Rubber event? Don't know where to start with rubber? Not sure how to take care of Rubber? Just want to make some friends for the rest of the week? Well this is an event specifically for you, our newcomers to the world of Rubber and Slick!
Newbie Social will have the Melbourne Rubber committee as well as some past titleholders and established members of the community there to welcome you to an integral part of the community, Eagle Leather - and guide you on your Slick journey to a shiny and wonderful place!
If you ARE familiar with rubber, and know how to get yourself in and out of a catsuit, please join in on Wednesday for Welcome Drinks at LCKR ROOM instead.
This event will feature light nibbles, snacks and select beverages provided by Eagle Leather. Please note, responsible service of alcohol applies.
This is a free event, but you must have a ticket in order to ensure safe event numbers. Add the number of tickets you require to your cart and show them on arrival for entry.
