Diamonds weekly events

Diamonds Central: The Carlton Arms, Thursday evenings
We meet on Thursday evenings in the Carlton Arms (Carlton Way). 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, and this is the recommended event to attend if you are new to Diamonds and/or to transgender. We meet in the function room on the left of the building (not in the public bar on the right). The room has its own door (no need to go through the main bar) and there are changing facilities available. There is quiet background music for easy chatting and food is available. The staff know us and are very friendly. Many Diamonds tend to arrive around 9 pm, so while there are often Diamonds there earlier if you're coming for the first time and want to be sure of a crowd then arriving around 9 is probably best. See you there!
