Intermediate Rope Class - Nov

Come and enjoy a friendly evening of rope tying. We offer a monthly class that aims to develop more specialist rope skills. This class is suitable for people who can tie a single column tie.

The topic of the class changes every month.

Please note, if you are interested in a more basic class, we also have a fundamentals focussed class that runs on the 4th Monday of every month.

Doors open at 7pm, class begins at 7.30pm

This class explore more complex ties of shibari. We will look into the technical, anatomical and intellectual aspects of rope tying.

You will need: At least two pieces of rope (approx 7.5m), preferably four lengths.

Where is it held?We do our thing in the upstairs room of Ye Old Salutation Inn (The Sal), a kink friendly pub.

I'm new to rope, is that a problem?We'd advise coming to the fundamentals class initially, but we expect people who attend the intermediate class to be at differing levels.

Am I welcome?We are committed to welcoming all levels, genders, orientations and body types.

What if I don't have a rope partner?You don't need a partner to attend the class, a lot of people attend on their own to socialise and learn.

If you're on your own or new, we'll introduce you to a few people. If you want to arrange a rope buddy ahead of time, feel free to post in the group thread on our Discord :)

What rope/other paraphernalia do I need?If you have rope already, bring it! To get the most out of the classes, you'll need some rope with you, unless you believe that rope is a state of mind (it isn't).

You can order rope for your class ahead of time.

The floor of the pub is wooden, so you may want to bring a blanket/yoga mat to sit on.

What are the rules/etiquette?The etiquette is, in a nutshell, be mindful and courteous. But a few specific points:

1. Respect people's boundaries- if you want to tie someone or want them to tie you, be prepared to take a potential rejection with good grace.
2. Tie safely- check your partner's physical limitations and tie safely. We're not heavy handed, but if you deliberately ignore safety advice we'll ask you to leave.
3. If you have any issues- have a word with one of the organisers and we'll sort it out quickly and subtly on the day.
4. Clothing - Please wear comfortable clothing :)
5. Do not capture an image of anyone without their permission, no exceptions, pay attention for people in the background.

Where can I park?Nottingham is weird for parking. In most cases, it's cheaper to park in a car park then it is to park on the street, especially for long periods.

The cheapest parking is multi-story at:Intu Car Park Rick St, Nottingham NG1 3PR,

But there is also:NCP, Arndale Centre, Maid Marian Way, NG1 6AENottingham Castle Car Park, Albion Street, NG1 7FF

The closest parking is onstreet around Spaniel Row/St Nicholas Street/Castle Gate.

Feel free to educate me if there are other good places to park nearby :)
