Thanks Cunning!

The thing I found most noteworthy was the same thing I felt at the Basingstoke meeting; the overwhelming feeling that you were surrounded by a group of women who were all simply dying to talk about GC topics and have someone else to whom they could safely say "It's all bollocks, isn't it?!". That feeling of joy at having someone else to talk to wasn't limited to me, I think.

I wish every woman could experience the sheer joy of woman-only organising and meeting.

Fatina is the right name.

Thanks BitterAndOnlySlightlyTwisted, someone else PM'd me about it (her name was Fatina) - it sounded really good.
I thought Kate's singing was amazing - what a great voice! Thanks for the link.

I got watch the livestream from thousands of miles away. It was brilliant. Thanks to all the participants.

Also, I may be odd but I really enjoyed being in the company of lots of lesbians - the pervasive air of 'The men are not our concern' was very enjoyable, to me anyway! Wish I'd known the song Kate was singing, I'd have joined in for solidarity

@LittleLebovski I gave Bettina my email address last night so when she gets in touch I’ll ask her if it would be OK to forward her email address to you. I have few proper skills but have volunteered myself to do some fund-raising for them. Last night’s meeting was so interesting, inspiring and motivating even though I went along on my own.

Great meeting. Couldn't believe how many people were there. You never get to see the audience from the live streams. It was so packed people were standing round the edges.
Great speeches. Very inspired today. Need to get organised.

Hello Posie :)

Not that that was the most important thing... It was great to be at my first meeting. Wonderful to see the people I'd only heard of on here in person. I was moved by the contribution of the women in the audience who'd previously worked at Stonewall

Who were the young men there - dealing with the tech stuff? I was idly wondering what they were making of it (i have sons of a similar age)

Hey @MsBeee

Brilliant to meet some of you yesterday.

Really inspired and totally chuffed I bumped into one of you in the street after watching the live stream and went for drinks!!!

Enjoyed my first meeting, apart from the lift! Sorry I couldn't get to say bye to the other three ladies I met at costa

I couldn't stay for the pub, but really enjoyed hearing the speakers.
Can anyone tell me the organisation Bettina (?) the person talking about the Scottish consultation and article 2048 adoption by the European parliament was mentioning? I think she said ILAW but I couldn't find it on Google - international women's......

Beautiful night. Many many strands of work going on were discussed. Lots of initiatives are picking up speed. The Scottish were there, a vagard. The legal group setting up, we discussed fundraising tactics. The King's college project, discussed that.
Any way its 2am and I have to work today,.
Had to leave the party. Beautiful women.

Just finished watching to the end - some very interesting details there, I might just DM Venice about a couple of things.

Brilliant meeting. Shiela Jeffries is awesome.

Wow! What a great night!

I will post a thorough breakdown tomorrow, but for right now, let me say this:

1. The protestor was not a TRA. They were GC, but they disagreed with some of what SJ said about sexual orientation.

1. The event was very well-organized and professional.

1. They were so many famous TERFs there! I was fan-girling all night!

Thanks 2rebecca.

@IAmNotInvisible I was in the same lift - basement twice/second floor/finally made it!

Great evening of talks, but missed the pub as also had unreliable trains and wanted to be sure I could get home. Still I’m inspired to actually try and do something.

It's on the facebook link at the moment

Is the video available anywhere?

What happened to the video? I got as far as the end of Nicole's speech then it cut out & now the page is not even loading?
