How many attendees are actually for Bristol June 19th?

Dr. Shoe · 6th December 2009, 10:39

It looks like we will be getting 20 or more...

I doubt whether anyone would baulk at paying £5 for a good meal. That is the sort of price we're looking at.

What you so instantly dismissed as an idea, without further debate, was to be an offer of sponsorship that could have involved the following:

Estresmodes and Omano to finance the food; (upto £5 per person).
Provide complimentary drinks and show a full range of samples for members to view and try on.

Local newspaper appearances were never part of what we considered appropriate.

Come on guy and girls. Is it really going to break the bank to spend about £10 for food at the heel meet.

I heard about Bristol, that there are many TS and TG. It'd be a pleasure to meet some of them. Does anybody has contact about it?

Thanks

Sounds good to me.

I'll leave it in your capable hands then, thanks for volunteering. Just keep me posted.

The owner of the property is a full time TV and I will be there too. There will possibly be more there too.

Is this going to be a heel meet or is it going to be a heel/tv meet? Are the other people attending members here? not that you have to be a member here of course.

The mixing in of the whole TV element was ALWAYS a pet peeve of mine during my days organizing the WHM's.

The strength of this forum lies in the narrowness of it's online niche: men who like to wear high heels--yet appear as men. Mixing the broader TV community with the narrowness of the hhplace community always made me think that the WHM's lost their real world niche: a safe place for men to appear as men and wear high heels. The WHM's wound up never really standing for something unique: men in heels and as such, never really stood for a special unique category in my mind. This is one major reason why I stopped promoting them all together.

Naturally, whoever organizes future events has every right to promote the meets however they see fit, this is just my opinion as derived from 4 years of seasoned experience.

No, not as such.

There is a TG meeting at the same venue after we finish but WHM delegates are welcome to stay on and meet them if they so wish. However, the owner of the venue is a TG and of course, as usual, I will be there too.

The big problem is that there are not enough heelmen to go round at the moment. We are too scattered across the globe to make a serious impact at a heelmeet.

I know we have some diehards who make a special effort to come along, many who come great distances. I know that it is the dream of many (myself included) that heels become an acceptable part of male fashion but when that happens then the heelmeet will be dead. This is because when men are wearing heels as a matter of course then there will be no need for heelmeets and when you consider how many members we have here (with more joining every day) this day will come sooner rather than later.
