FLC Frankfurt sponsors the LFC Spokesman From 15. to 18. October 2009 the FETISH UNITY WEEKEND of the LFC Leder & Fetish Community was held in Cologne. Integrated in this weekend was the meeting of delegates of German, Austrian and Swiss fetish clubs that are organized in the LFC. The cologne “Rheinfetisch e.V.” hosted the event. Currently there are 16 clubs participating in the umbrella organization LFC, externally represented by its spokesman. The present spokesman had to resign from his position ahead of schedule due to professional reasons. The participating Clubs elected the current speaker of the workgroup „Future“ and chairman of the FLC Frankfurter Leder Club Klaus K. as the interims spokesman of the LFC until the next scheduled election in autumn 2010. With Klaus the umbrella organization has a profound expert of the fetish scene at the top. “I’d never wanted to be in that position; I’d always thought that one could change more when you’re not at the top of the organization. But once in a while you’ll have to adapt to the changing situation.” said Klaus in his first statement after election. This year’s event was also the 30-years jubilee of the LFC. The organization emerged from the SKVdC – Ständige Konferenz der Vertreter deutschsprachiger Clubs – which was founded on the 26. May 1979 in cologne. Besides the meeting there was also an extensive supporting program. In a small exhibition one could walk by the last 30 years. Delectably some of the founding members made their way to Cologne and participated in the meeting as invited guests of the LFC.
