From 10 to 13 October 2019, Rome welcomed clubs from the European Confederation of Motorcycle Clubs for its Annual General Meeting. Ten years after the first Rome edition, Leather Club Roma organised a weekend of gatherings, assembly and celebration, culminating in the Gala Dinner and election of Mister Leather Europe 2020.

Together again in Rome

The AGM’s return to the capital brought the clubs’ work into focus: creating opportunities to meet, representing local communities and maintaining a European network. The programme combined institutional meetings with social events, giving participants time to get to know one another beyond the assembly table.

A weekend of gatherings and celebration

Thursday’s gathering at Coming Out, near the Colosseum, opened the weekend. Friday brought the presentation of eight contestants and the Welcome Party. On Saturday, the assembly preceded the Gala Dinner at La Limonaia in Villa Torlonia, followed by the Victory Party. Sunday’s brunch offered a final moment together before departure.

The Gala at La Limonaia

Dinner and the contest brought the community together in one of the city’s green settings. La Limonaia in Villa Torlonia hosted the evening dedicated to choosing the new European representative: tables, stage and audience created a shared occasion for delegates and guests.

Stevio, Mister Leather Europe 2020

The title went to Stevio, Italy’s representative from Leather & Fetish Milano. ECMC’s official profile records him as Mister Leather Europe 2020: the election took place during the Rome weekend in October 2019, while the title refers to the following year of representation.

From Daniel Dumont’s term to a new secretariat

The Rome assembly also marked the end of Daniel Dumont’s ten years as ECMC Secretary, which had begun in Rome in 2009. The confederation chose a three-person secretariat to share the work; Arthur Peremans of MS Amsterdam coordinated the transition until the next AGM.
