The meeting was well attended.  Reviewing the year showed how much we've achieved and developed: swimming sessions, the second weekend away, ongoing work with the police including consultations on policies affecting trans people and much more.  With 2 members of the committee stepping down over the course of the year, it was great to gain a further 2 new members and for a Glasgow member to be affirmed in his role by the membership.  From this position, we aim to build on our successes to date.

 

This was our second annual weekend away.  This time we had exclusive use of a hostel in central Scotland for transmen to relax, socialise and enjoy the fresh air.  In return for the funding we received from LGBT History Month, a workshop was held.  We produced posters featuring the lives of transmen, past and present.  We went for a walk on the Saturday and visited another exciting castle before going our separate ways on the Sunday.

A fantastic time was had by Transmen Scotland members who attended the residential weekend hosted by the Western Boys, who are based in Somerset.  Around 60 guys, with a few friends and family members, got together at the first national event for around 6 years.  There's no doubt the internet cannot replace the experience of being surrounded by people like oneself.
