Welcome y’all to BEARNANZA, the Great
British Bear Bash number 13 (or GBBB13 for
short) the rootinest tootinest BearBash around
these parts!
This year we have a whole heap of hairy fun lined up for you to
enjoy. Starting on Thursday with the EarlyBird registration at
the Rembrandt where you can enjoy a special GBBB13 shooter,
the Cowboy Cocksucker. Pull on your best bib and tucker (jeans
and check shirt) for the BEARNANZA rodeo night on Friday at
Legends and you might win yourself one of the spot prizes for
the best-dressed cowbears. The highlight of Saturday has to be
riding the 9ft bucking cock at the FunBears party at the back of
the Outpost saloon. There’ll be a prize for the guy who can hang
on the longest.

The climax of the weekend is the big show at the Birdcage on

Sunday. Celebrity superstar Tina C will be there sharing her
life experience and wisdom and an out international surprise
celebrity will be on hand to help us present the prizes to the
winner of Mr Bear Bash 2010. This guide was produced by Manbears and

This weekend is a chance to
catch up with old buddies, and
get to know some new ones.
Whether you’re dragging your
new farmhand back to the ranch,
getting down and dirty in the
club, or getting slippery in the
foam, there are some pretty
simple rules and regulations you
might wanna follow. The folks
at The Lesbian & Gay Foundation
have got some advice for y’all...

FOAMING UP? OUTteRamEAallC!

GETTING READY weekend
OK guys, before you dive in, decide what you’re going to wear (or not
wear!) Choose non-slip footwear that you can afford to get foamed up.
When you are giving them your clothes, ask at the cloakroom for a free
(water proof!) LGF safer sex foam party kit, containing foam-friendly
condoms and lube.

WHILE YOU’RE IN THERE

Hidden away in the foam you can dance like an apprentice farmhand
because nobody’s going to see you. If you’re getting naked and personal
with fellow foam frollickers remember that the foam will not enhance
performance, however slippy and sensual it seems. So, if you’re getting
deep and meaningless - use a ‘foam-friendly’ condom, and if you can’t
use one in the foam drag him back to the ranch for a proper go at it.
Remember to shower well after the foam party and BEFORE you go to
bed. The foam shouldn’t harm you, but some of you may suffer slight skin
irritation if you leave it dried on over night.
