This is it! Our first RUBBER SOCIAL for 2025 is locked and loaded for;
SUNDAY MARCH 23
3pm – 6pm
@GROUSE – 171 Smith St Fitzroy.
It’s a RUBBER RUBDOWN TAKEOVER of GROUSE’s “Old Mate’s Disco”.
And what a MOMENTUS Occasion it is set to be.
This will be our official introduction of our 2024 Title Holder Elliott Eve to our gorgeous Melbourne Rubber Community.
It will also be your official MEET THE COMMITTEE event.
We will be raising funds for Elliott’s quest for the International Title.
And you can chat to us about the committee and what we do / what we have planned / how you can join us.
But mostly – this is your chance to catch up with your rubber family in a casual setting – dress up or down, lube up or down, and enjoy a drink now that the autumn weather is being kinder on our sweat glands than that summer was.
PLUS: GROUSE will have DJs playing from 3pm for their regular “Old Mate’s Disco” for anyone down for a rubber boogie.
If you are new to the scene and wanting to dip your toe into the world of rubber and get to know us please come along! This is a free event in a public space – no tickets or memberships required – just come along and mingle. The committee will all be identifiable and are happy to introduce you around.
