Melbourne Rubber Sunday Social
We’re excited to introduce the Melbourne Rubber Bi-Monthly Sunday Social - a relaxed and welcoming space for our community to connect, unwind and enjoy good company.
Join us at Carolina Cafe & Bar in Brunswick East for an afternoon where you can hang out, meet fellow rubberists, and build connections in a safe, respectful and inclusive setting. Whether you’re new to the scene or a long-time member of the community, everyone is welcome.
A small cloak and change area will be available for those who wish to gear up upon arrival.
Prior to the social, there will be various small workshops held approximately one hour beforehand. These sessions will be listed as separate events and will provide great opportunities to learn more about all things latex - the perfect way to roll straight into the Rubber Social feeling confident and connected.
Come along, relax, learn something new, and be part of a supportive and vibrant Melbourne Rubber community.
