Once More to the Beach...
Another Holiday break organised by the team at TLI with an exclusive booking of the Haddon Hall Hotel. With regular Spring and Autumn events, the three-day Holidays at Eastbourne really are a great experience, enjoyed by many of us. It provides the opportunity to dress as much or as little as you like, in whatever style you chose, (limits on decency apply).There is the option to lounge in the hotel during the day, or a chance to venture outdoors and explore either the Seafront or town centre - each being within easy walking distance. If you are a nervous firsttimer, there will always be someone willing to accompany you. The exclusive booking of the facility means that within the Hotel you will only encounter people booked on the TLI Holiday along with the highly professional Hotel staff. Breakfast and evening meals at the Hotel are included as part of your booking, and an additional lunch menu is available if you are staying in, and there are many options available to eat out locally as is your want. There are various stalls on hand, selling associated articles, some trans-specialist, and others, regular clothing and related items. Various talks and advice-sessions are laid on throughout the two main days of the event all free of charge. The relaxed atmosphere of the Holiday is perhaps well reflected by the fact that we regularly have exmembers of staff dropping by to meet up with ‘the girls’. Themed events on the three evenings are entirely optional for you to take part in, and to whatever degree you wish. This time saw some great entries for the 70’s/80’s, Masked Ball, and Superhero evenings, and there was a good dozen entrants in the parade for each. A regular feature of each weekend is an invited makeup service, providing your choice of session - as either an open-presentation or a one-to-one -each as either a makeup-lesson, or straight forward makeover. Another opportunity not to be missed is the chance to book your very own photoshoot - to professional standards - giving a lasting memento on disc, of your weekend. You need to book directly with both of these services, for which a minimal charge applies. For me personally, I take it as a chance to be fully femme,twentyfour hours, for three full days.
