O&P Opens were first organised in the UK in 2010 as informal meetings with a mixture of social time and roundtable discussion. These were intended to be more structured than (yet another) BDSM munch, and are in some ways similar to the regular meetings organised by Masters and slaves Together in North America.

Format

All of the Opens so far have followed the same format:

• 1-2 pm, social time
• 2-5 pm, roundtable discussion with a break about 3:30-3:40 pm
• 5 pm onwards, social time and/or dinner in a nearby restaurant

For the roundtable discussion:

• People are invited to suggest discussion topics in the weeks ahead of the Open.
• The chair makes a list of these to bring up, one by one, as each topic's discussion comes to a natural end.
• Everyone sits around in one big circle or around all the tables pushed into the centre of the room.
• The chair welcomes everyone, outlines the format of the meeting, and says the four Open Guidelines have been worked out based on previous meetings.
  • The chair invites everyone, starting with themself, to say hello one by one, and if they want to say the name they're going by and anyone they're here with. This allows people to outline their relationships if they're comfortable doing that.
• The chair then reads out the first topic and sits back once people start discussing it, only intervening to steer people back to the guidelines if necessary or to contribute to the discussion topic personally.

Open Guidelines:

• Give everyone a turn.
• One conversation at a time.
• Don't repeat specifics shared in the Open.
• State things about your relationship, but only ask about others.
