Events In England?

[Guest jennifer-at-home]

Hey

as this is an American based website, there are lots of resources on LGBT events and associated information state side, but I was wondering if anyone new of a website that has a calendar of events big or small for the UK, wether that is in the form of support groups or simply friendly area's, I seem to have a remarkable ability to hear about exciting causes or events after they have happened,

sorry for the generality of the question, oh yes it may help to say I live quite near to london.

and if not, and you have clicked on this topic any interesting websites if you feel incline would be lovely

I've had a look around recently but didn't find anything well maintained or in the loop. It's all variable quality and done on a piecemeal basis as far as I can tell. That's kinda typical for the UK so I gave up.

NuttyCats is the only UK place like this one but they're too uptight for me and locked down tighter than a drum. They had some trouble erupt while I was away on a long break and I couldn't be bothered signing up again. It's an option if you want to check it out.

I haven't used any of these places apart from lurking just yet! But some ideas you might want to try:

I haven't posted there yet, but you could try transgender zone. They also have a board for Spectrum London, which I think organises meet-ups: link.

You could also try the Beaumont society, though again I have no idea what they do, I've just heard of them. Good luck

Jennifer, did you want the title of this thread to be "Events in England?" ? We can change that for you if you'd like. You only have 2 posts, so I can't PM you about it.

[Guest jennifer-at-home]

all that careful spell checking only to be foiled by the title, if you could please change the title to 'event's in England' that would be great

thank you summer's day and ignota and Colm for the correction, I shall have a little look see tomorrow morning me thinks, because I turned into a Pumpkin about 2 hours ago and the eyelids are most certainly feeling the strain.

Jennifer,

A member pippa m recently posted an event being held in Manchester called Sparkle. If you haven't already looked at that topic, you might be interested in the information. If you need help locating it, I will check on it for you and post it here unless someone else does first. After 5 posts you can use the PM feature. This allows you to contact moderators and other members.

Sparkle look's interesting but I am sad and embarrassed to say I don't know how I would get up to an event like that in secret, the part I am sad and embarrassed about is the secretiveness part not the event itself :-).

Transgenerzone seems to provide some useful information on venues around the country, perhaps I am being optimistic or naive but I hope as I leave home and head off to university I hope to more actively reflect who I am on the inside whatever that maybe, hopefully that will help me get more of a whole understanding of myself before I go trying to explain stuff confusing people and damaging relationship's before I need to sorry just to explain that I'm heading off to you Uni in about three month's.

thank you all
