E.G., like this one for end March 2010 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Scot-SMFetish/message/2761 check for the latest at the group, you will need to subscribe via yahoo groups More news and links at the group in the LINKS section http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Scot-SMFetish/ Nightnews ONLY supports and approves of goth run and managed clubs with a goth music policy and fetish clothing theme, NOT the er 'other' mainstream bdsm fetish clubs. We are unashamedly, pro goth in that way. You may have to travel long distances or out of Scotland to attend these specialized nights. Otherwise your local goth club will be full of pretty goths, some of which will have an interest in goth-fetish.... Other of our resources include: Forums and Message Boards, BBW, Clubs, Communities on-line, Dungeons, Events, Erotica, Health, Magazine sites, Prodommes, Prodomme Directories, Personals, Pagans and Shops ^V^ ^V^ ^V^ Goth Clubs in Scotland Our preferred club is http://www.bedlamcorp.co.uk/ This is because patrons are broadly pansexual and the club is welcoming but centred on music and is not overtly fetishy though you can literally wear anything and people do. ^V^ ^V^ ^V^ Goth-Fetish Networking New :: http://thealternativecommunity.com/ by Club Antichrist http://www.clubantichrist.com/ Collar Me :: The Largest BDSM Community site on the Planet http://www.collarme.com/ Though this is not a goth site, there are numerous UK and other international goths in here and its free. We advise you NOT to post identifying information on the internet if you have a career, family or responsible position in society to protect... ^V^ ^V^ ^V^ Media & Merchandise we like http://www.skintwo.co.uk/latextra/SkinTwoLateXtra32.pdf http://www.skintwo.co.uk/ http://www.skintwo.co.uk/about-skin-two/skintwoyearbook2009/ http://twitter.com/timskintwo http://www.cafepress.co.uk/sk/skintwo ^V^ ^V^ ^V^ 'Other Clubs' These latter clubs in Scotland operate as dungeon clubs only or are purely glam or lgbt and without a gothic music policy. e.g., DV8, Stunners, Rebound, Hells Belles Edinburgh Stunners website http://www.fabulous-stunners.com/ - a least worst choice for a non goth event as they play 80's and retro party tracks Hells Belles Aberdeen http://www.club-hells-bells.co.uk/ There ara a few others you will need to look under rocks like this for.. http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/uk/ Some gothic people do go to these and they are generally disappointed by mainstream clubs. This is because Age groups here are generally 'a lot older,' so 18-25's, goths, alternative clubbers may feel out of place at these clubs as most have NO music policies. While some people you may meet are perfectly nice; these clubs attract a varied cross section of body types, swingers, fetishists and others who are not goths, have no goth aesthetic and who don't like DARK MUSIC! This is *sigh* dreadful and much the case. If you don't like fetish clubs full of people that can look like your parents, have been painted by Beryl Cook and are running fetish activities like they were a rotary club or allotment gardening association, (or some of the uglier 'wannabee gangsta' promoters with personality type disorders,) by all means be a tourist once to make your own mind up, then don't go again and stick to gothic and gothic-fetish events! With one or two exceptions, mainstream clubs exist to feed a steady flow of moneyed, wealthy, possibly stupid, submissives to Pro-Dungeons. (N.B.'We listed Hiddencommunity but it is no more http://www.hiddencommunity.com/ rip) ^V^ ^V^ ^V^ LGBT Hang Outs Cafe Nom de Plume 60 Broughton Street EH1 3SA Velvet Womens club night :: Edinburgh http://www.myspace.com/clubvelvet Most activity takes place at these nights and venues which are heavily networked.

IC : www.informedconsent.co.uk This site has shown itself to be partisan on numerous occasions whether by ill judgement or by bad admin decision making or poorly thought out technical design. There are numerous examples of this in its message board archives e.g. http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/boards/glasburgh/68676/0/ http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/boards/glasburgh/191716/0/ many of the profiles posting malicious information will be fake and set up specifically for that purpose. see http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/p/CelticLord/ and http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/p/CelticLo/ Other partisan members will add further lies and disinformation to malicious threads. We advise you NOT to post identifying information on sites like this on the internet if you have a career, family or responsible position in society to protect... The IC site has also rendered itself virtually inaccessible and untraceable through its NIC registration info and other ploys. http://www.checkdomain.com/cgi-bin/checkdomain.pl?domain=informedconsent.co.uk So there is no-one to complain to about any problems except your law enforcement agency or legal representative. That may be against your Consumer and User rights; there may be Data Protection issues also. Delinquent Fetish Club Promoters There is a warning about these types of dangerous club promoters here http://membres.lycos.fr/rostbif01/SMweb/danger.htm http://membres.lycos.fr/rostbif01/Index.htm you would do well to maintain your anonymity and take other sensible precautions in such circumstances False-Goths http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4905898.stm http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/rapidpdf/bmj.38790.495544.7Cv1 Research has indicated that there have been numerous people who are mentally ill hiding in the goth scene. They may now be drawn to emo. Mob Mentality and Groupthink is low. The same clubbers generally do the rounds of all of the mainstream fetish events which are all networked together on the internet and at 'munch' pub & social meetings. Some of these people would do justice to the peasant mob scenes in Hammer horror films in the way that they spread malicious rumours and gossip as if they were facts. Their fetish community is prone to falling out with each other and vindictively attempting to draw adverse attention to each other in the media. They scapegoat anyone they feel they have a grievance with; they can be a pathetic bunch who are as industrious as they are factional, nasty and stupid. Certain of the nastier promoters employ dirty-tricks, manipulation, victimisation, malicious gossip, bullying and harassment on-line and in real life as standard tools! They constantly attempt to build a clubbing monopoly by undermining other events and / or otherwise demonising and trying to ostracize perfectly respectable people they have taken a dislike to. They will orchestrate campaigns of malicious gossip aka bullying and harassment or worst!' This last par should give you some idea of what, some of 'the scene' in Scotland can be like! I really regret having to write it, but there it is in reality and in black and white! If you are Goth or alternatively inclined you will NOT want to attend the events they promote under any circumstances!!! You will want to consider sticking to out of town, fetish-goth events only... So be careful where you post on-line and who you mingle with..... ^V^ ^V^ ^V^ AFFILIATED GROUPS ONLINE Nightnews For Goth and Dark Events http://www.nightnews.net For goth etc event information in Scotland only join: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Nightnews/ Raw club and music industry newsfeed http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Nightnews_Omega/ Subscribe to RSS feed only For media representatives only, open archive: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/NightNews-Media/ For Goth and on-topic traders to get a listing on the Nightnews website, exchange and maintain your links join: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Nightnews_Bazaar/ This is an international, alternative, goth fetish community based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Nightnews groups were recently tagged 'Power User' groups, placing them in the top 2% of all Yahoo groups Nightnews fetish themed goth events have had the trust of many clubbers. Nightnews Gothic Fetish Themed events portfolio numbers approx 2 years of Goth Fetish-Fashion Themed Style Nights! Neo-Gotham 2004 Gotham 2003/2004 Transmission 1999 Nightnews has run respectable fetish-themed goth, vampyre and alternative music clubs. Though we incorporated fetish elements, film projection and displays of dungeon furniture as well as performance and stalls of fetish clothing or equipment; we were firmly music and arts based clubs. We distance ourselves from the excesses of some of the so called Scots fetish scene accessible from the links above. We do not condone or support illegal and deviant activity by renegade promoters. We will refer instances of abuse, harassment and bullying online to Community Safety and other bodies set up to deal with these. We had a 'play nicely' rule at all of our events.
