WHO CAN JOIN?
Anyone who is transgendered basically. Agender uses the
term transgender to cover all aspects of the gender continuum.Obviously
we have transgendered people but the group is for partners and
families also. We also are happy to accept supporters as members.

with each applicant before coming to a meeting. This is to protect
everybody and ensure the organization remains the friendly place it is.

MEETINGS
The meetings are held second Saturday
and are normally held at the local Co-ordinators home. They start
around 7:00pm but arrangements can be made for those needing to
arrive a bit early to dress. Supper is served at about 9:00 and
people start leaving anytime after that, though most meetings go past midnight.
WHAT HAPPENS AT MEETINGS?
Well, it's like any other gathering of people,
lots of talk, gossip and discussion and the world. Sometimes there
are special events and these are identified well in advance.
WHAT DO I TAKE?
Yourself, of course, and anything you may need to
dress, make-up, etc. Some members contribute a bottle of wine towards
the refreshments for the evening. A contribution towards supper would
also be greatly appreciated.
WHO RUNS THE GROUP?
Each area is voluntarily run by a co-ordinator,
this is most likely to be a couple, usually a transgendered person
and partner. As this is totally voluntary on their behalf, please
respect their home and privacy. There will be a donation container on
the supper table so please pop in a coin or two to help pay for the
tea, coffee and heating etc.
