Wednesday 2nd April
Our Manchester Wednesday social evening is centred on meeting between 8pm to 11pm in Iconic Bar at 29 Richmond Street M1 3NB. We get 10% off drinks here so if you are a regular visitor ask at the bar for our discount card.
There are usually around 20ish but not all are always in Iconic bar at the same time as people drift in and out through the evening. The ladies present will vary from first time out socially to full time experienced and everything in between, both locals and visitors from around the country. Everyone will be friendly and approachable but if you are alone or new, ask for me when you get here and I will introduce you to everyone. If you come and sit on the edge of the group without asking for me I will assume you want privacy so I won't interrupt you. If you need support I am happy to come and meet you at your hotel or car.
During the daytime I will be wandering around Manchester centre and/or local towns, if you want to join me please just ask, between 5pm to 8pm I will eat in a bar type place in a non-scene part of town such as Northern Quarter, Deansgate or St Peters Square area, if you want to join me you are welcome, just ask me.
I get asked if the non-LGB places I go to are "trans friendly"..... in my personal experience if we behave and dress sensibly and stay alert to risk we are at no greater risk of violence than that which cisgender women have to manage in their daily lives from VAWG (violence against women and girls) but if you don't want to leave the village you will usually find some of our ladies out in either Velvet or Via before 8pm.
When Iconic closes at 11pm I will leave the village again, you are welcome to join me if you wish, if you prefer to stay in the village then popular locations to go to at that time are; The Goose, New York New York, Eva, Via, Oscar's, The Brewers, BarPop .... there is also Centre Stage but as I am am barred from there I obviously will not give it any recommendation so that is your choice.
If you don’t know Manchester check TV Chix venues for insights as it is where I keep the Manchester clubs, bars, restaurants, hotel and parking information up to date, just search TV Chix venues using “Manchester”. Ask me if you want deeper insights or want to know about anywhere not listed as I will either know it or I can check it out for you.
Men are welcome to join us but please come as a guest of one of the Ladies attending so you have someone to introduce you to everyone. We ask all men to be polite and respectful to the ladies because we are a social group, not a knocking shop.
Any questions not answered in the above just ask me. Why not come if you can while you can as Old Father Time has his eye on us all.

Touch Sauna in swindon, the southwest’s largest venue. Opened in 2012, touch sauna is a Gay owner operated sauna, aiming to offer that more personal touch ,)
One thing you can always count on is a friendly face at the bar, Skot, Ollie & Gary are the only workers at Touch Sauna, 4 days a week, every hour we're open, allowing everyone to get to know at least one of us, making your visit more intimate... Over the last 10 years of running our T-Girls & Admirers event, we’ve met some fantastic people, we’re so grateful for the support that we’ve received in helping to build this event into what it is today.
We’ve been working hard to improve our facilities for T-Girls to get ready once they arrive, and whilst it’s not perfected just yet, don’t worry! We’re busy beavering away to make our venue as user friendly as possible.
With a fully licensed bar & large lounge area, we can cater for those T-Girls who enjoy a comfort and relaxation. Get comfortable and make yourself at home!
The rest of the building caters more for the mischievous T-Girls… We have a wide variety of glory holes; from being watched to having five at once! Our cinema rooms provide both gay, straight and trans porn, so there's something for everyone... But if none of that takes your fancy, and the sling just isn't private enough; set yourself up in one of our private rooms, with lockable doors so you and your playmate(s) can really get to know one another.
For the smokers or even sun lovers, our private roof terrace catches the sun all day, and for those chilly winter evenings, dressing gowns and a heat lamp are provided to take the edge off...
Admirers, you’ll be provided a towel to change into on entry, but you can remain dressed if you wish to (no footwear). We understand that not everyone may be comfortable wearing just a towel when the T-Girls look as good as they do!
We have shower facilities available in our Wet Area, however due to the structure of the event. The only other Wet area facility that is in operation on a Wednesday is the Sauna.
Words aren't really enough so we ask you to come down and try it for yourselves!
We're sure you'll find the venue comfortable and welcoming, pop into the bar for a chat and a quick drink before heading down the other end (if you so desire) and make use of the facilities .... When you touch it P U R R S.
Scott, Ollie and Gary

Retro Rendezvous is probably London's best free, purely social, weekly gathering of t-girls, transexuals, and occasional admirers. In a great friendly gay / mixed bar. Just the place to make your debut in a dress and get to know a lovely bunch of people.
We are usually downstairs at the back on the left, but there should be a notice on the the board in the entrance.
Tables reserved from 8. You may be the first, but don't worry, you won't be alone for long. We drink, we chat, we gossip, we put the world to rights, we may flirt, and we always try to be stylish. Well-behaved male admirers are welcome to join us.
