I have put the Feb BNO on Chix as Susan hasn't & has not been on chix for some time; she is now back & will be posting future events. I have checked with Punters that we are all expected so looking forward to a good night.
A Dummy's Guide to the night.
The event is centred on Pink Punters club.
Though many start in t'Camp bar from 8pm
The BNO is ideal especially for
- your first time out on heels
- bringing along your partner
- socialising with your friends from near and far
All are welcome.
Pink Punters
It has its own website – www.pinkpunters.com
It is a family owned and run LGBT venue and they are very supportive of the community. Check out their mission statement and commitment to develop the transgender facilities to become a world class venue.

Please note that you will have to deposit any jackets or coats at the entrance cloakroom, for which there is a charge.
The music can be loud in the cellar.

Eating
There is now a US style diner at Punters. Burgers, pizza etc from £2.50
Turn left at the roundabout near the church and there are some take-aways, including quite a decent chippy for these parts.
Shopping
If you head north past the pubs and over the double roundabout there is a shopping area with Next Clearance, TK Maxx etc. If you can get up early enough on the Sat there are some good bargains. Opposite is a large Tesco for clothes, petrol and food.
The centre MK is a massive shopping mall, but can get busy.
Travel/ Directions
The venue listing will give you a map for the location.
Driving: If you don’t have GPS etc MK can be rather confusing to say the least. At its simplest get to the roundabout at the southern end of the dual carriageway section of the A5. Go all the way round the roundabout, almost as if about to head north up the A5. Instead take the turning just before, which is the old road Watling Street. The Camp and PPs are about a mile up the road, just after the garden centre.
Coachways is located at Junction 15 on the MI and you would need to get a bus/ taxi to the Camp.
Rail to MK is on the mainline Euston/ Birmingham. Get off at Bletchley and there are (not very frequent) local trains to Fenny Stratford - about 10 min journey.
Airports:
Luton – there are buses from the airport to MK Centre, best bet is check on times etc online. Alternatively bus down to Luton station, train to Bedford then change for train to Bletchley, then either local train for 10 min journey to Fenny Stratford or taxi.
Birmingham - station at the airport and train to MK/ Bletchley then local service to Fenny Stratford.
