AGM 2024

The 19th of October 2024 we had the pleasure of attending the 51st Annual General Meeting in Zurich, where, during a long and productive day, we were able to come together and work on many important topics.

It was truly wonderful to be together and share moments of reflection. We greatly appreciated the atmosphere of serenity in which the meeting took place.

This experience has reminded us of how important it is to meet in person, to speak openly and respectfully, and to do our best for the European fetish community. We are all different, coming from various countries, cultures, and languages, but together we managed to understand each other and lay the foundation for some important steps forward.

We want to share the joy of having welcomed four groups as probationary members:

– Polish Leather Uniform Group
– Berlin Leather Fetish
– Scandinavian Leather Men Copenhagen
– Scandinavian Leather Men Stockholm

It is truly a pleasure to see the ECMC community grow with the inclusion of both historic clubs and newer formations.

A special thanks to Arthur Peremans, who has been named “Honorary Patron of ECMC”. Thank you, Arthur, for your presence and many years of service to ECMC.
The 69 Club Trophy was assigned by the ECMC Secretariat to MSC Hamburg who celebrates the 50th anniversary.

It was also a weekend of celebration as, among the eight candidates from across Europe, we elected Mr. Leather Europe 2025: David Weeble from Cardiff, Wales. We wish you all the best for this year as you continue the work of your predecessors who have proudly worn this historic title.

To Tom, Mr. Leather Europe 2024, we extend our gratitude for being present at so many events and for contributing with his smile and presence, helping to lay another brick in the building of our community.

Finally, a big thank you to the Leathermen of Switzerland for their dedication in organizing this weekend. Those who have organized an Annual General Meeting know how much effort, time, and devotion such an event requires. Everything went wonderfully!

The next AGM will be held in Amsterdam, October 23  to 26, 2025, hosted by MS Amsterdam.
And in 2026… Seville and ILBS, get ready for our arrival!

Thank you all,

Andrea, Sebastian, Thorsten
