I have been a member of the Transliving group for a very long time starting way back, when I sometimes went (if business took me in that direction) to their early evenings, in a room inside an industrial estate in Chelmsford. Can’t remember the venue’s name but it was there I first met Stacy and some of her colleagues in the early 1990’s. I have been a member ever since, and have most of TLI’s magazines - the originally A5 size and called Reflections and then the later glossier A4 sized copies we get today. I have attended a number of TLI’s weekend events over the years too, the last being earlier this year. As I have done for many years, I have contributed numerous articles to our magazine, and I’ll plan to continue writing copy for the TV/TG media - many of you will have read some of my offerings. I have also been a Beaumont member for even longer and rose to be their Vice-President in the ‘noughties’. It was also in the ‘noughties’ that I was involved with the Transliving sister publication Silhouette Magazine – some issues are still available from Transliving.
