The weekend of 1st-3rd December was the annual Transliving Christmas-themed party weekend in Bournemouth. We had 85 of us in total and everyone had a great time. DJ Maria Hayes (Totton resident DJ) kept us entertained and on the dancefloor for both nights. As usual several took advantage of the indoor heated swimming pool and spa bath. This weekend has been held at the Laguna Hotel since the 1980s and had a few different organisers before Stacy Novak and I took it over in 2014. We have tried various dress themes at the Bournemouth weekend but the feedback has always been that the longstanding regulars treat it as their Christmas get-together so it has been decided in recent years to just keep it as a Christmas-themed weekend every year. If you have not joined us before then why not consider coming along this year - for full details see the advert on page 65... of this issue.
