The following event should be of interest to costume fans, fantasy, and basically anyone who dressed up to have fun.

We have costumers selling corsets , burlesque outfits and every sort of other stuff that you possibly keep hidden in your bedroom cupboard !
...............................................................
The Auckland Fetish Fair brings quality fetish suppliers together under one roof for you to have an afternoon of kinky shopping and enjoyment !

Come and socialise, come and browse, stick around and enjoy the evening after-party and demos. Have Sunday lunch and peruse quality fetish products from some of the best and most ingenious of Kiwi fetish vendors.

The Auckland Fetish Fair has been set up to give home grown kink-crafters an opportunity to take their talents out to fellow enthusiasts in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
Our plan is to present a wide range of fetish and fantasy products, clothing, and accessories. Both brand new and pre-loved..
Grown out of that corset ? leather dress got too tight ? -or is that old goth or punk collection taking up too much space ? Why not bring them along to the AFF and sell to new and appreciative customers !

Chat about the lifestyle, meet your friends and be inspired to make your fantasies come true.

Whether you are a vendor or a visitor, the Auckland Fetish Fair bids you a warm welcome.

CityGuard Bring and Buy Sun 22nd November

Hi everyone,

CityGuard will be hosting our first official Bring and Buy event in November on Sunday 22nd. This is where everyone can come along, bring out all their random miniatures/games/bits and pieces they wont ever need and try and flog them
off/swap them/trade them/just show them off.

We will set up some tables just for this, probably down the end of the hall where I usually have the snacks. I'll bring along some post it notes and pens, you write little notes on your stuff, like who is the seller, and how much you want for it... and leave your goodies displayed on the table...

Then people come along, look at all the awesome goodies on the tables, ask me who (insert name) is, I point you out to them and you sell/swap/trade your stuff...

I've had so much fun coming along to AWC ones I figured I'd try one at CityGuard.

Some changes from my first post a while back. We are open longer, until
7pm...

The 40K folks are organising a special 500pts 40K in 40mins event. The Fantasy folks are organising a special 500pts baby league event. The Warmachine folk are organising a special 15pt event. All these are mentioned in the CityGuard Forums here http://www.cityguard.co.nz/forum/index.php/board,2.0.html

Anyone wanting to organise a game of some sort or to join up with the special events, it's just $3 to play for the afternoon regardless of whether you are a member or not... just for 1 day only :)

We will be running a BBQ around 5:30pm with sausages for sale. You can BYO BBQ food if you want to cook your own. We will have some drinks and snacks available for sale as well. We are classing this as our end of year sort of event, so come along to catch up with folks.

You are all welcome to come and visit. CityGuard meets in the Freeman's Bay Communiyt Hall, Hepburn Road, just down the road from Ponsonby road. We meet
from 1pm to 7pm, so anytime in between would be awesome.

Any questions?

Regards,
Karen

P.S. I will be available to take pre-registrations for BattleCry during the event as well.
