Manchester Concord

 

The Committee  

Some of the committee members will always be present on a Wednesday evening. They are shown here to enable people to recognise some faces when they arrive to make it easier for newcomers.

   

Mary, aka 'Mary the Legs' - has been with Concord for over 20 years and hosts the Wednesday night meetings. Mary also organises other activities such as the Christmas Dinners, nights out when the Ladyboys of Bangkok come to town, Rocky Horror Show trips, etc, etc, etc.
Mary has her own blog to keep you all abreast of what's happening in Manchester - see the link above or you can contact her by email on Mary@manchesterconcord.org.uk if you would like to say hello before you come along on a Wednesday night.
Our hostess with the mostest, Mary will always give you the warmest of welcomes and put you at your ease
.
She has taken the role of Chairperson to the committee.

 

Frances has been a regular at the club since 2001 and is the author (in male mode) of a number of books of interest about the Manchester area. An amateur musician, she likes going to museums, theatres and the Bridgewater Hall as Frances, sometimes on her own but often with others.

She has now also taken on the role of Secretary to the committee.

 
Gemma is another Concord regular that the club couldn't manage without. Very soon after she joined us in 2005 she started helping Jan to look after the door at the club keeping her company and giving helpful advice about all sorts of practical things to many of the people who spend time with her. If you want some reliable help then ask Gemma. As Jan has now decided to move on and no longer does the door we are very lucky to have someone like Gemma to keep the Wednesday night wheels oiled.
She has now taken the role of treasurer to the committee.

Elaine joined Concord in 2000 after telling her wife that she cross dressed. It took a lot of courage to confess her secret but she survived and now has her wife's understanding and support for which she will always be grateful.
Elaine rarely misses a Wednesday and can usually be found helping to run the door with Gemma. On the few occasions when Mary has been away she has stood in as hostess for the evening. If you would like to contact Elaine you can e-mail her at elainetv@hotmail.com

Elaine has taken on the role of Membership secretary.

 

 


Tina has been coming for many years and seems to manage to wear a different outfit every week, which I guess is a major part of the fun. She is a train buff and goes on several holidays every year to travel the rail systems of the world. She is also a solicitor and is able and willing to give legal advice to any member that needs this kind of help. If you prefer to contact her by email her address is rmnapier@anlaw.co.uk
Hazel. Joined Concord just over 10 years ago and after a brief absence is back! Always happy to meet old and new members. Hobbies, Ballroom and latin dancing, drawing and also a Rugby League fan but sadly, a Salford City supporter. (someone has to be).
 

 

Astrid is one of those people who will take an active role in whatever she gets involved with. Last Christmas she and her partner Sandra bought and cooked all the food for our party and then came along and served it up.
She has now just set up our new Domain name and web space.

Astrid is perhaps better known as the girl who has taken part in three "Moonwalk" on behalf of Breast Cancer Research and Care - "En Femme" of course.
