Australia's Rubber Festival: Slick returns to Melbourne in September!

Melbourne Rubber are very excited to release the Slick event calendar for 2021. They are looking forward to bringing all you rubber enthusiasts together post COVID! In a huge announcement, and in conjunction with the amazing team at The Laird, all events at Slick will be gender INCLUSIVE! Eagle Leather is a proud founding sponsor of Melbourne Rubber. You can check out the full run down of events below – we look forward to seeing you there!

Welcome Drinks and Trivial Hirsuite

We begin Slick Week off with a social gathering of rubberists, enthusiasts & supporters in the historic Nugget Bar at The Laird and afterwards we move across to the back bar for Dean Arcuri’s famous Trivial Hirsute (like Trivial Pursuit, only shinier).

Newbie Meet & Greet

Melbourne Rubber are putting on a Meet and Greet for all newbies to Melbourne, Slick and Rubber. If you want to, you can wear your newbie wristband to all Slick Week events. This will allow the Slick Crew to keep an eye on you if needed, or for more experienced community members to introduce themselves. Hosted by former MRM winners and local rubber community leaders, you can mingle with fellow newcomers as we assist you on your rubber journey during Slick with drinks at the bar and free pizza provided by Melbourne Rubber.

Maxim Gloss

Maximum Gloss is a totally new event for Slick Week, where rubberists of all genders can roam the Laird Hotel and meet the contestants for Melbourne Rubberman 2021. Laird Leatherman 2018 Kevan Walsh will host the festivities and introduce the contestants. An Auslan Interpreter and local rubberist, Matthew Watts, will interpret the event. After the introductions, get ready for deep beats and kinky demonstrations throughout the night for endless shiny fun.
