Hiya,
I havent had a weekend away with friends for quite some time now so I thought I would. I am making this post to invite anyone along who wishes to come along for the weekend.
The location is in Milton Keynes. Theres a really good LBGT night club called pink punters. Check it out...
http://www.pinkpunters.com
Last time I went the entry fee was £7 each. Theres 2 dance floors and a quiet social seating area on the top floor. 2 open log fires outside to keep the smokers warm. Its a really good atmosphere and many pictures I have seen people show on TW are taken at this club.
One of the factors which make this destination so popular is that over the road, 100 yards, is the campanile hotel. Its a very friendly hotel and the rooms are clean and functional.

The weekend will start on Friday 30th April. I normally book 2 nights and go home sunday afternoon but its a bank holiday monday. However, I havent decided if I am going to stay the extra night.
The plan...
Everyone makes their bookings or shares a room with a friend to help reduce costs and its a little bit more social. Everyone gets there Friday afternoon or evening and we meet in the restaurant at 8pm. Once fed we wonder over to PPs. Anyone running late will just have to catch up. Its a relaxed atmosphere so theres no formal ceremonies however I have found dinner to be a really good for introductions.
I think the club closes at 5am, that bits always a bit vague for some reason, and its a short crawl back to the room. Saturday, get up bright and early, say, first thing in the afternoon, and get a taxi into town where we go shopping and scare the locals. Back in time for a quick recharge nap, and put some slap on ready in time for another meal at 8pm where we do it all over again.
Sunday, they kick everyone out at 12 but we hang around the restaurant until we are sure we are safe to drive.
Everyone is welcome to come. We are very supportive for first time girls. Any questions or concerns please post your questions here and we will answer.
If everyone who intends to go please make a post here to show numbers and to let everyone know who we are all expecting to meet. In the past the restaurant asked for meal bookings but that turned into a facade so Im not going to bother any more.
Although its a weekend of freedom with good company there are a couple of things to remember. I like to consider them as philosophies rather than rules.
The first thing to remember is that we are a support group for people who are dealing with gender dsyphoria. As we want a safe place for everyone to feel comfortable, hitting on another member or lewd behaviour will not be tolerated. That said, you can do what you like as long as anyone in the group isnt involved.
The second and final thing. Although we are a support group and we look after eachother, you need to be savi with who you are with. We dont always know what people are going to be like so just because they are part of our group doesnt mean you can trust them. Please use your better judgement until then.
Thats it for now. oh BTW, Im going! lol I look forward to seeing who else is coming along.
Love
Penny

What will it take to get everyone to realise that everyone else is also a human being that deserves just as much respect?
