ClubElysium
This year, we organised the rope bondage camping weekend for the second time at ClubElysium. And again, it was a great success. We had a great group of participants, both old friends and new people, Belgians and Dutch people, young people and older people; all exchanging information and "talking rope", sometimes deep into the night (or should I say until early morning?). In short, a great atmosphere!
Workshops
We had arranged for a number of differnt workshops this year. The first day started with a lot of manual labour. In the afternoon, we presented part one of our workshop rope preparation. Participants coul learn to prepare their own hemp or jute by boiling it, finishing the ropes with knots to prevent the ends form fraying and by letting it dry under tension. Later in the weekend, part two of this workshop would cover breaking the ropes, burning of the fuzzies and finally oiling. Also, the first night participants could make their own leather or rubber toys. Allasea even continued working until late in the weekend, but then again, she was the one who asked for such a workshop last year.

Other workshops were more bondage oriented.
Allasea & Skimble taught this years beginners workshop twice and
Maaike & Mathijs taught three differnt specific positions, amongst
others a harness for the less flexible bottom and a partial suspension,
as well as a workshop hair bondage. Most of these workshops were
suitable for those who had just taken the beginners workshop, but were
also interesting to those with somewhat more experience. Mark van
Vlaanderen showed the participants how to be creative using karada's
and bamboo, with lots of bottoms tied together on the grass, like a big
bondage rug. guilty^l and pluu both taught an advanced workshop.
guilty^ taught a position that's just perfect for a little spanking,
pluu a bondage to tease the girls by running rope between their legs.
She announced that the last girl to try this position was going to be
in it for a bit longer... and who took the time to keep watching
Lineke, got a nice demonstration of the effect of such a bondage. After
all, orgasming during a workshop is good sign, isn't it?

Another highlight was the workshop caning. This workshop draw several people with a genuine interest in caning, but I suspect that my being the caning-model might have drawn some other people as well who would have liked to see me suffer. Tough luck for these sadists (gnagnagna!); I wasn't caned very hard, but rather sweet and gently treated. It was a workshop erotic caning.
Bondage contest
Another big activity was the multiple round
bondage contest. The jury this year consisted of me and guilty^ and
last years winners (allase & Skimble). The first round depended on
an important role for the bottoms. We showed them a bondage that only
the bottoms were allowed to see. Afterwards, they were to tell their
Tops how to replicate the bondage both quickly and accurately. For the
jury, it was most amusing to see the couples working. Some swithing
couples took the advantage of sending out the most experienced rigger
out as the bottom for this round. Another bottom was so serious about
it all, that all knots were inspected closely by him, sitting on
his knees. One other bottom got "penalty points" for every mistake. And
one couple ended up having a small argument because the rigger didn't
understand the bottom, and it is quite difficult to explain in words
what has to be done behind your back. Some other opted to
complain to the jury that all mistakes weren't really mistakes, but
that the rope had been too short, or the tent had fallen down, breaking
their concentration. This, however, soon ended under th ethreat of
penalty points from the jury for too much petty excuses. So, this was
one fun round of bondage!
The second round wa spluu-inspired. Roel always
complains that suspensing me is easy compared by creating a simple,
effective tie to quiet down a pluu, to keep her restrained and keep her
from bouncing around the room, while still keeping her whole and safe
without nerve compressiom and other nasty stuff. So, that was the
assignment for the second round. Creat a pluu-proof bondage, tight,
safe, and slightly irritating for the bottom.
We've seen works of art made of sate-sticks, a bottom with two chairs
tied around her, but Maaike and Mathijs definately won this roundd with
a relative simple concept: A double breast bondage and the pressing the
breasts against of rought tree.... If I had known, I wouldn't have
promised the additional price for this round: trying the bondage on me.
I must admit that it was highly effective, and made me really calm and
quiet. But not much fun. Brrrr!

The third and final round was the free-style round. Like last year, originality was the prime criterium for this one. One very original idea was zmatt & Nicchi^'s bondage: They had tied each other in such a way that they held each others bondage. The first to let go, would release the other, but remain tied his or herself. Another one had incorporated a bottle of port, that the bottom couldn't really drink from (talking 'bout irritating bondages...). Somewhere els, the prettiest girl of the weekend (my highly subjective opinion) was standing on all fours with a rope between her legs feeling very uncofortable but inspiring me to make the "picture of the weekend": I worked myself below her and took a picture of her face. (what would be most irritating here, ...me or the rope betwee her legs?) In short, many interesting bondages, and the jury had a hard time judging them all.

Off course there were prices this year: A whip and
a massage for the winners (Maaike & Mathijs), canes for the second
and third place. And for the fourth place... because the jury had made
a slight mistake adding all the points, forgetting the true second
place winners. Fortunately there were enough canes to correct the error
and give all winning couples their canes!
