  It is great that you could be there as yourself Joanna. It could be the start of your blossoming into the world as yourself. I am glad you were there.

Hugs,

Hi girls,

Again sorry I had to shoot were back from the hospital & my girl has half an egg on her forehead and a bad headache.

It was truly inspiring to meet you all today, I was beyond nervous but you were all fantastic.
Big thanks to Megan for sorting the room and meeting, Kendra for an amazingly generous gesture & Davina for the offer of sharing a room.

That was my first venture out but can't think of a better way to have done it.

Envious that your now all out terrorising the town and hope you have a great night xx

Hi all, just got back home from such a beautiful, memorable time. There is a little piece of every one of you in my heart now.
Putting the physical and mental personalities to the written words and the pictures was such an inspiring thing to be able to do.
You are all lovely and gorgeous people and I will look back on the time with such fond memories, with a longing for another chance to be with you all again.
Personally I have listened and taken heed of what was discussed on so many topics and quite a few steps forward have been taken for me, and I know, for others as well.
As others have posted I can't thank Megan enough for organising this, or for Kendra's generosity (and just for being Kendra), and for everyone's personal effort to make this event a success.
Well done everyone..

Luv n Hugz (and I mean it)

Katie

I just caught up on this thread, not being in the UK I tended to bypass this one. Reading the comments and seeing the pictures made me wish that I had a passport .. and money ..

Just got back myself 3/4 hr ago. What a wonderful time and nice to meet everyone , thanks to Kendra as cant remember thanking her( did have a few beers) . Thanks to everyone for the nice comments as well, I know overdressed as usual .Hugs to you all XXXX

[Katie Jade]

Oh, forgot to say, Davina made me a necklace stand with compartments for studs (when I get ears pierced) - so here it is  and it works really well for necklaces and bangles.



Thank you so Much

Luv n Hugz

Hi Girls

I just got back home and would like to thank you all for a lovely weekend.  I'm sorry I got there so late yesterday as I didn't get a chance to talk with everyone - still there's always next time!  You all looked amazing and it was very special being able to share in those first steps that some of you were taking

Big thanks to Kendra for her generous gesture yesterday and to Megan of course for going that extra mile organising a brilliant event

Still smiling & thinking of you all

This was filled with moments and experiences I am already looking back at fondly and I'm not even home yet.  The time together was precious. 

Someone mentioned the distance must have caused me to hesitate.  When I think about my first few ventures into public and across town as myself, I firmly believe many in the room traveled a greater distance than I did.  Journeys are not always measured in miles or kilometres.

This. Entirely this!

Great weekend girls. Was amazing to meet everyone and how great everyone looked!

This made me smile. Was one small train journey, but one giant leep for Jo-kind ;p

So sorry that Devlyn and I had to skip the evening, I had some family issues that took  priority.

It was truly wonderful to meet everyone, and I'm sad I didn't get more time to talk with everyone; it was a great crowd.

A big thank you to (naughty) Kendra for her generosity!

I'll pass the mantel on to someone else to organise the next one. [emoji4]

  T'was lovely to see the picture and read this thread, following it to it's finale. Now some of you know the joy in part of what I experience when I wander around the USA meet friends in the flesh that I had only met online. It is truly special when this can be done either in groups or as individuals. I hope many of you get the bug like I have, and keep hugging our members in person when ever possible.

Hugs,
  Laurie

If Manchester is chosen as a venue I don't mind doing a bit of legwork living close to it. Otherwise, if somewhere else is chosen (Brighton, London etc) I'll leave to someone more local, but I'll definitely still be "up fer it"

Thank you all so much for making such a very special and wonderful day.  Huge huge thanks to Megan for her organisational abilities (yes paper does help!) and Kendra for her mind blowing generosity and infectious attitude towards life.

All of you are a true inspiration and I enjoyed talking to you for every minute! I'm just sad that I did not get chance to speak to all of you personally, but the conversations I did have were wonderful, and yes I'm including you Davina in that! Even if we did end up talking about cars and drag racing! 

It was a first for me as well, as although I was very low key, it was the first time I have been out in public in 100% female attire (even if it was jeans and t-shirt and probably not that obvious).

Although I was as nervous as hell, I enjoyed the experience immensely and every one of you has inspired me in some way as although we are kinda following a similar path we are all so very different

Thank you. xx

If you're happy to take charge, then you can choose the location (perks of the organiser). Manchester has good transport links, so I'm sure it would work as well as anywhere.

If you're up for it, then I'd suggest spinning up a new thread for it. X

@Faith - Exactly What I was thinking - wish I was there too - looks like a lot of fun and a great opportunity to meet so many wonderful people!

@Devlyn - Have you met the queen yet?  How Are you enjoying the UK so far? Anything that stands out particularly?

Take care,

Sonja.
