Thank you to all visitors: from the Unted Kingdom as well as from anywhere else on the planet. During International Mr. Leather 2009 Folsom Europe e.V. has received the Pantheon Award as Best Non-Profit Organization 2009.

RESPECT
FOLSOM EUROPE has always been watched carefully by the public. Some neighbours are not that familiar with our community, and you cannot blame them for it. Some of their complains are very understandable.
|
 |
One of the reasons why we organize FOLSOM EUROPE is the call for respect to our life styles.
We expect to be warmly welcomed by the residents on this our day, but also the residents will expect us to behave like guests.
Therefore please remember our three basics FOLSOM EUROPE rules.
*Nicely packed away heightens the anticipation – keep the private parts covered.
*Sex is fun – above all in dark rooms and at our parties. The street is however taboo!
*and the use of our toilets on the streets is free. Gardens and backyards do not require additional fertilizer!
We appeal to all visitors to live a respectful association with your fellow human beings. Thank you!
