Pride Bristol
We we ever so thrilled to be asked to be part of the fabulous and award winning Pride Bristol. The whole team from the volunteers to the darlings in the shop and the other contributors have been marvellous but extra special thanks must go to the incredible driving force behind the whole lark; Anna Rutherford, Amy Wilson, Louise Trimby and Daryn Carter.
University of Bristol Drama Department
Never let it be said that this department let their alumni go begging! With a cast and crew of departmentals past and present the old UoB lot played an absolute blinder generously providing rehearsal space, letting us plunder the props stores and allowing some of us more, ahem, senior fellows to relive a little of our youth! We are greatly indebted to the wonderful Pam Tait, Rona Fineman and Rod Terry.
The Tobacco Factory
Squeezing us into their packed programme the Tobacco Factory theatre were gracious hosts, allowing us to run riot with bunting all over their lovely bar and even helping shift the odd piano. Thanks here must go to David Dewhurst, Holly Foulds, patient techy Matt, the box office loves and Jonny and the jolly bar team!

For incredible authentic vintage glamour you must get in touch with the amazing Fiona Maynard of Beehive Brides and lovely Isabel While of Bridal Styling, they can shake a tail feather and do your lippy at the same time, utterly fabulous!
It was a real treat to meet the lovely Anne Paulette of Pretty Amazing Cakes how she makes such scrumptious and beautiful creations I do not know but I did love investigating!
Getting proceedings off to a electric start on opening night were the amazingly athletic Graeme and Ann of Hoppin' Mad and getting our party in the second night swing was the wonderful David of Swing Dance Bristol. And if all that bopping about inspired you to give it a whirl then you can find details of classes on both their sites now! Bristol OutStories provided us with a fascinating insight into the LGBT history of Bristol and some great stories! They meet every month so if they perked your historical curiosity then do drop Charlie a line and pop along to their next meeting!
