Diamonds weekly events
| Diamonds Central - Wednesdays at the Boathouse, 8-11 pm After over a year on Zoom, from August 2021 our main weekly meeting is back in the Boathouse pub (Chesterton Road) every Wednesday from 8-11 pm. This provides a chance to relax, meet others, grab a snack and have a few drinks, seek support, and discuss events and issues in a non-judgemental environment. Newcomers are always very welcome. This is the recommended event to attend if you are new to Diamonds and/or to transgender. Numbers vary from a few people to a dozen or more. It is rare for there to be no-one there at all (although sometimes people do not start arriving until after 8.30 or 9 pm) but you may wish to contact us before turning up, especially if it is your first time, just to make sure. |  |
