One Tuesday my little sister Nicola came over. Nicola had never been
out dressed beyond a few forays out her front door. We were cleaning
up my house when along came that most dreaded of things - housework induced
boredom! No!
I suggested to Nicola that we pop out for a game of pool and she agreed
so off we drove to Milton Keynes' Gay, Lesbian
and Transgender friendly club, the Pink Punters. Conveniently located
on the furthest edge of Fenny Stratford, the Punters has all it's own
parking so there are no hassles when you turn up, even if Milton Keynes
as a whole isn't particularly well known for appreciating our special
kind of beauty.
Entry to the Punters costs a pound as a non-member and you have to sign
in. We were warmly greeted at the front desk by the Punter's restaurant
manager, Daniel. Daniel was most hospitable; he took us on a tour of
the entire building starting with the upper floor attic, which he runs
as a restaurant. On Fridays and Saturdays food is served and the beams
and gothic styling make it quite romantic.
Next we came down to the main floor. There's a bar, pool table, dance
floor, seating as well as free internet access from several PCs. And
downstairs is the main dance floor as well as the fetish dungeon - the
Punters caters for all!
The dance floor during one of the Saturday night Hard House/Trance
events, which are very well attended.
Nicola and I started on the pool table. Being our first
time there, Daniel soon joined us as did fellow staff member Graham.
The two kept us entertained for hours with their tales of feisty lesbians
and horrendous karaoke wailings! In fact they even started dancing especially
for us! And very well rehearsed they were too!
We were there on a Tuesday night; during busier weekend
nights the place is well looked after with bouncers and although the
place has a huge sign outside saying Lesbian, Gay and Transgender it's
often frequented by small groups of straight people who come for the
lively atmosphere and warm welcome and trouble is very rare according
to the staff. Of particular interest to straight Transvestites who might
feel uncomfortable in a room full of gay men is the fact that Stormes
nightclub now run a monthly transgender event at the Pink Punters. If
you didn't know, Stormes is one of London's bigger Transgender clubs
and is well known for putting on a good party.

If you're transgendered, whether Transexual, Transvestite
or Fetish, you can be assured that you will be welcome at the Punters
anytime. Security, discretion, facilities, friendliness... these people
have got it all! On the basis of that, I'd have no qualms at all recommending
the Pink Punters to anyone. If you're new to going out and nervous, go
during the week, Monday or Tuesday. Chances are it'll only be a few of
you in there and the staff will make sure you feel comfortable. If you're
more out to party, check out the weekend or Stormes night!
