Hello Rubber Enthusiasts and curious people of rubber!
My name is Steven Kuc and I was lucky to have won the title of Mr TORN 2012 recently. I have been fascinated with rubber the first time I tried it on back in 2005 at IML and always wished that Toronto had some kind of organization that promoted the ways of rubber. Europe has been leaps and bounds ahead of North America and I felt it was time we started catching up. It was exciting when Torn was created by President Colin Gerrard and Dave Sproul and though it has gone through a couple of revisions, it is starting to find itself which is exciting!
When I won the title of Mr TORN in August 2011, I felt privileged to be able to be someone that would be representing and promoting a club that would contribute to the RUBBER Community here in Toronto.
TORN is a new club still finding its way but that can be the exciting stage of any new endeavour!
The more feedback we get from our community, the more we are enabled to grow and attend to the needs of what the rubber community would like to have access to. As a title holder, I hope to spread the word around and get more people interested in what we are trying to achieve.
TORN‘s events occur every two months presently and we would like to see more and more people come out to experience being with other fans of Rubber. This is how we can enjoy our passion for Rubber most is when we share it with others! I hope to get to see and meet many new people at our events. And if you are not on our mailing list but would like to know about our events and plans, please join our mailing list. I hope to see Toronto be the vibrant Rubber City I know it can be!
Sincerely,
Steven Kuc
Mr. TORN 2012
