A very quiet Sunday night at Surrey Swans this month. A few of the regulars were away and the torrential rain probably didn't help . There were still a total of 8 girls and it was good to see that a few had driven a considerable distance to be there including Sandy from Banbury & Amanda from Rickmansworth. Well done both of you ! As usual at Swans nights, there was a quiz. This time it was kindly set by 'Chelle. If you're new to the group, this is a good opportunity to chat with others. As always, we had a large back room available for our exclusive use and there's also separate access from the car park for anyone who might be worried about mingling with the regulars. The bar staff Rebecca & Mike do come in to check for drinks & food orders and there's also a bell to call them if needed. If you haven't been to Swans before and you're local (within 25 miles) it's definitely worth a look. Apart from the quiz there's no entertainment and it's a great chance to get dressed up a little or a lot. You don't even have to dress , but no male admirers please. |

My first visit to Surrey Swans, and any nerves I had disappeared almost immediately as I went though the door. When I arrived there were half a dozen present but this had doubled by the end of the night. All chatting and generally getting to know folks..and then there was a quiz to contend with.! As a newbie, I can say it was welcoming, friendly, non judgemental, safe and basically a pleasant way to spend a Sunday evening. If I can, I will be going again. |

I’ve been attending Swans meetings since October 2022 and have always had a good time. There’s usually 8-10 people there and everyone’s welcome apart from male admirers as this is just a social event to chat, have a drink and join in the monthly quiz. First-timers and female partners are made welcome as are parents of trans children. The venue is in the private back room of a quiet pub and you rarely see any of the customers and I’ve never had any comments of any kind when arriving or leaving dressed. If you’ve never been out dressed before, don’t feel you have to pass perfectly at Swans and if you want advice on anything from wigs, makeover services then you will always find someone with suggestions. As numbers vary month to month , there’s no typical age range but I’ve met people from 16 to 82 . There’s normally a quiz, which is a great ice-breaker and an opportunity to make new friends. Pub prices are normal, but there can be a limited range. There is also a small food menu, but I’ve not tried that myself . I always look forward to Swans meetings as it’s a chance to dress , go out and be Sophie for 3-4 hours. |

A very pleasant evening, the girls were friendly and the venue was ideal. This would be a good place to go for new or nervous girls. I would definitely go again. |

A busier event tonight with several newcomers travelling from as far as Kent. Plenty of banter to be had and an excellent quiz to get the grey matter performing. Thanks x

Welcoming bunch of girls and the venue was easy to find. Bar prices are quite cheap compared to where i live which was nice. Take a coat in the winter as the room was pretty chilly |

Very well attended social evening about 16 present. Chelle organised a challenging quiz. Drinks very reasonably priced which the Landlord (Mike) brought to us in the Function Room. Bar snacks also available. Especially recommended for any "newbies" Next meeting Sunday 26th February 2023. |

Our numbers are definitely going up. 15 this time! I'm pretty confident now that we'll soon reach pre-COVID levels. Thank you, Andrea and others who kept it going through the worst. Come along, we're very friendly and non-judgemental. Enjoy our private space where you can be yourself. |

Friendly welcome from the ladies in charge. Some lovely outfits worn by some of the guests. Loved the quiz which was intellectually challenging. Required the patience of a saint waiting for my drink but other than that a successful night. I shall return for the next event. |

I (and my friend) had a great time at Swans. It was my first time, and I found everyone welcoming and fun. I feared it would be a cold night so wore my flares, but I was well-wrong - all the girls were in their finery. Nominal entrance fee, very good chat, drinks (press a button and the landlord would appear to take your orders - I liked their chips), an enjoyable pub-quiz, and warmer than my house - what's not to like 🙂👍 |

We had a few newcomers lately, and this time even a visitor from Washington (western USA).

A fun evening, this time we sat outside instead of in our room, but still separately from the main part of the pub. I made a total blunder of a quiz that I prepared, but we had a good time. A few new faces, though there were only 8 of us this time.
