The aim of the Mancsbound is to provide a safe environment for men who enjoy bondage in gear to meet, try, test and improve their skills, this includes anyone presenting as male.
Mancsbound is a member’s only event, a membership form* must be completed in order to gain entry. Admission charges and a membership fee apply. The form requires your name, age, any relevant medical conditions and an emergency contact details. The membership fee is included in the price of your first entry fee and is £10. Members pay £5 except those who work in the Village and who have a valid staff ID who get FREE entry. Concessions are available for Students, Seniors and those receiving benefits (proof required to confirm discounts).
A cloak room is available at the Eagle, we recommend that you use this facility to store any bags and valuables. Currently this cost £2 and can be found in the Black Eagle, adjacent to our space.
All money raised will be invested in the group in the form of equipment which will be available at events. Occasional offers will be subject to change and the venue fee will still be paid (unless otherwise agreed). We also fund donations to local charities such as the condom fund.
As part of the arrival process you will be asked to sign a record of attendance, this enables the organisers to keep a record of the numbers in order to pay the venue and also is you consenting to follow the event dress code and rules. You will be advised of any changes to these rules via Facebook, Social Media, by email or in person on arrival.
This is also a good time to advise Mancsbound of any change regarding medical conditions which may affect how and who you play with (we have a First Aider on hand but he isn’t trained to carry out surgical procedures!).
Attendance does not automatically allow attendees to tie or restrain someone, nor expect to be tied or restrained. You enter into any activity whilst at Mancsbound entirely at your own risk. If you prefer you can just watch, no one will make you do anything except to buy a drink (the Bar has to make money too).
No one should to be forced to take part in a scene/play, all parties must consent. We recommend that you discuss boundaries with your bondage partners and agree what you both would like to happen, this might change and everyone has the right to say no and stop a scene at anytime.
The use of physical force (violence) to start or during a scene is not permitted. It is important to be aware of those around you who may not understand that you are using force as part of the scene, who may be influenced by, shocked or scared by such behaviour and actions.
- Flogging, Corporal Punishment, Nipple play, Cock & Ball torture are allowed provided consent is obtained from the ‘Sub’.
- Using gags, muzzles, blindfolds, hoods, masks and collars also needs permission from the ‘Sub’
Do not attempt to join in with a scene unless invited as per our Look don’t Touch policy.
If anyone says no then accept this and step away.
A generic safe word is displayed in the venue, if someone does not accept a request to stop a scene the use of the safe word will alert others and the ‘Top’ to release the person being restrained. If the safe word is used play must stop immediately, failure to respond to the group safe word could result in membership being cancelled.
The host, venue staff and security staff may stop any scene or prevent any person from taking part in a scene if they feel there is any risk to the participants or those around them.
The host and venue staff reserve the right to refuse entry to any person or to require someone to leave at any time, refunds will not be given and future admittance may then be refused.
IMPORTANT: The venue does not have a licence that allows sex on the premises.
Photography is permitted provided consent has been given by all parties, there is an official photographer so you can ask for pictures to be taken. Official pictures may be displayed on the Mancsbound Facebook page, web gallery and other media including our Twitter, Fetlife and BDSMLR pages.
If you do not want to appear in photographs then please say so before any are taken. If you change your mind please notify us as soon as possible.
Anyone seen or reported taking unauthorised pictures will asked to delete the pictures, be given a warning and may be asked to leave the event. Whilst the group cannot take responsibility for unauthorised pictures, we will assist in any attempts to have them removed.
For your own safety, no inappropriate fetish gear or play is allowed outside the event (if you smoke cover up before going outside).
The organisers, venue and staff accept no responsibility for any personal kit brought into the events, any items left behind will be retained and we will make reasonable efforts to return them to their owners, any costs incurred will be invoiced.
Do not block any play space if you are not intending to use it, try and keep clear of any scene and allow as much room as they need, you’ll only have yourself to blame if you get to close and are injured as a result. We ask that you keep the mats clear unless you are using them as part of a scene.
No Drugs are allowed before or during Mancsbound events (except poppers), if you appear to be under the influence of any substance (including prescription medication) you will be asked to leave and could be barred from future events.
If you have any allergies you should note this on your membership application, however it is your responsibility to inform anyone you play with of these before hand. Some people have reactions to rubber/latex, the glue on gaffa/duct tape, pallet wrap etc – it’s always wise to check first.
No Water sports, scat, blood, needles or anything that may cause an injury or permanent marks are allowed.
We can only deal with problems as they arise, speak to the host or member of staff if the Club Rules are being abused.
