Well, no helpful tips, as it`s our first time, but we would dearly love to try to catch up wih forum members. We are hoping that there will be areas, or info boards about the different personas there, and were going to try to get members to flock to a swinging relevent area! As Steve points out, we`ll probably get lost in the masses, but it won`t stop us trying!
I`ll be the one with a headress made out of peacock feathers, and Mars will be wearing the Military Jacket (with tails). If you see a couple wearing those, take that as your signal to come say hello, or run, whichever applies!
Steve, made up your mind what you are going as yet?

We've both done Dungeon Monitoring at the SMB for several years, so we know it quite well. It's generally a fairly chaotic event, with a lot of different things happening at the same time, with people moving around from one thing to another. I don't know if it's going to be happing this year but you can expect to find:
The SMB award ceremony. This is usually very full, so if you're interested in seeing it, make sure you get a seat early. It also over runs, usually by an hour, so take that into account if you're planning on seeing/doing other stuff.
There's an art exhibition, which is always worthing looking at as there is some superb work on show.
Quite often there are striptease acts, so if that's your thing, look out for them.
There's often at least one or two guys who are keen on the whole watersports thing, and they'll have an area set aside for (usually just women) to pee on them.
The dungeon, with various bits of kit to play on. Normally it's only couples who are actually let in to play, but it's behind fencing, so if you're not part of a couple, or not sure you want to get involved, you can always just watch.
There is usually a room for people into exhibitionism (that'd be us then), again for couples, while others can watch through peep holes specially created for the purpose.
There's a room set aside for gays - never been in so can't comment, but you can use your imagination!
I suspect that there'll be a number of other things happening as well, but those are the things you can usually find there. Most people are very respectful and will take no for an answer, but you also do get single guys who think they can grope anything that moves, so you may need to be firm with people, but we've never found it a problem.
Be prepared to pay huge amounts of money for drinks.
Be prepared to stand for hours - there is little if any seating, and most of what there is tends to be in the exhibitionists room.
In summary, the SMB is sleazy, tacky and very good fun, though hard on the feet.
Hope that helps.
Nice one JandPUK. Thanks very much for the info.
Steve
I'm going in a roll of black pvc fabric and some white lace. (hopfully is resembles a maids outsfit)

I'm still hoping to go but not sure at the moment.....does anyone know who won the caption contest? Has Mark let anyone know yet?
My Outfit has been ordered but not arrived yet....so let's hope it arrives on time .....
If I DO go then I hope to see you all there.....
Uhhmmmm. who won the "Caption" tickets anyway???
As most people going seem to have been to the munch last Sat. why don't you become identifiable by wearing your offical badges? Of course, it depends on whether you have anything to pin them too! Ouch! Ouch!
Woooooo Hoooooooo a public thank you to Well Busty Babe........looks like I shall be going after all!!!!!!
So I guess I'll see you all there......
We need a favour...
If any of you guys have a pair of 32 inch waist black leather trousers Mars can borrow for the night, it really would save the day. I can`t match the prices on Ebay!
I know it`s cheeky to ask, but if we don`t ask...........

ok peeps.. after consulting with my fashion advisor (venus) and looking at some pics on line.. i have decided i am going to go as a belly dancer (oi.. you at the back.. stop sniggering!!!).
well i SAY i am going to go as a belly dancer.. however.... i actually have to make the costume.. and for someone who can not even thread a needle... thats no mean feat.
all i can say is that.. i will be the one in yards of colourfull fabric... if i resemble a belly dancer... then all the better.

.... I'm thinking along the lines of virginal white :shock: :shock: :shock: , cos something soft and white fits in with the sensuality theme of the event this year (see I've read the little booklet that I got with the tickets! 
). 
blue shy and virginal
