Lynn a beauty Therapist is going to do two sessions for the Trans Women and any others with an interest.

Session One 20th July 2008

Make up & Skincare. Two complete makeovers. A day look & a Night look. Two 'volunteers' will get a makeover in terms of make up with advice on moisturiser and skincare. The volunteers are going to be chosen on the night.... Pizza is being provided by GADD. Veil Cover have provided free foundation an supplies for this check out the website here. They are a local company and want to help.

This was a successful  night and both Volunteers seemed to get a lot out of it and questions flowed at Lynn. Be ready for the next one.

Session Two Sunday 21st September 2008

Hair & wig care. Lynn will offer help and advice on wig care and purchasing. She will trim wigs to fit a the face ( at a small cost. There will be a demonstration of wig recovery to show what can be done.

Again Pizza` will be provided by GADD.

The ideas which came up were as follows:

• An evening with a make up demonstration, aimed specifically at the T community, since most make up artistes tend to specialise in day to day women's make up, and do not cover things like covering beard shadow.
• An evening devoted to wigs and wig care, following the success of the previous evening devoted to this subject, though preferably without the background noise.
• A quiz night
• A DVD night
• A Group Social evening, with invitations to the other GAD based groups, similar to the one we ran in the past.
• A Swap Shop/Bring and Buy Evening
• Start work on producing a calendar for 2009.  The previous instance of this was extremely successful, though very hard work in the short timescale for several people.  By starting early, we can work on it throughout the year.
• Look at running a Trans Fashion Show, possibly in February 2009.  The previous show, which launched Club T, was a tremendous success and it would be nice to repeat it.  By beginning preparations now, we should be able to ensure that this is equally, if not more successful.

Obviously, there is no guarantee that all of these can happen, but I see no reason why we shouldn't be able to do most of them.  Any other suggestions, we would gladly consider.  Just let us know and we'll see what can be done.
