MANCHESTER CONCORD HOME PAGE

Manchester Concord is a Transgender Social Group that meets every Wednesday evening in the upstairs bar of the Rembrandt Hotel in Manchester.

The Address is:- The Rembrandt Hotel, 33 Sackville Street, Manchester      M1 3LZ

A group has been meeting as part of the Northern Concord in the Rembrandt and various venues around the Manchester Village since 1986. In January 2008 we moved back into the Rembrandt from our last venue which was the Hollywood Showbar.
Since then as part of the process of moving forward into the 21st century we have decided to take full control of our own affairs by creating a club now called Manchester Concord which will look after its own finances, membership list and website as well as continuing the tradition of hosting a venue for transgendered people and their partners every week throughout the year.

It is not our intention to break our links completely with Northern Concord and we hope that the excellent Crosstalk Magazine and events such as Bollington will continue.
To this end all members of Northern Concord are still just as welcome at Manchester Concord.

The primary purposes of this group are:-

1. To provide a reliable friendly place where newcomers to the transgendered scene can come and meet other like minded people in what is undoubtedly the most tranny-friendly location in the country.

2. To provide a convivial place where old and new members can come as often or rarely as they please to meet and talk with their friends.

3. To get together with friends from the club from time to time at other venues, such as restaurants and shows.

4. To support any other relevant transgender functions or groups.

5. To have fun

One of the other things we wanted for this club was to provide a means for the members to easily communicate with each other outside the confines of the wednesday evening meetings. To this end Astrid has set up a Forum exclusively for Manchester Concord members which we hope will enable our members to help each other and to organise other activities themselves.

A link to the forum is available at the top of each page of the website.

When you first go to the forum you can read all the posts in it as a visitor, but if you wish to contribute then you can register by clicking on the link in the top left hand corner and following the instructions given. But you do have to be a member of Manchester Concord to join it, except for the one section for visitors to ask questions or make suggestions.

Finally, we should make it clear, that the term TRANSGENDER is intended by us, to include all levels of crossdressers, transvestites and transsexuals, who are all welcome at our club.
