WHAT IS THE CLUB LIKE

Who is at the Club and at what time do they Arrive ?
The club has regular "early birds" and those that change at the club from 9pm. The club steadily fills up and every Saturday by midnight you can expect 150 to 250 people and as we always say, our
"boys girls and inbetweenies" include
"every age, race, culture, sexuality and gender".

So friendly and relaxed
I know that you may be plucking up courage to take the first visit to The WayOut Club but I assure you that every Saturday there are friendly regulars including me Vicky Lee and Lesley my partner and my WayOut team looking forward to welcoming you and helping you to feel at home and enjoy your night. I include in that assurance, most especially family, friends and partners.

The opportunity to visit The WayOut Club weekly for over 15 years has allowed many (1000's) to make those first steps, develop their dress style, confidence, social skills and networks. Since our foundation in 1993 the whole tranny scene has become more confident. However I can assure you that however awesome looking those WayOut regulars that have this confidence are, or however big their personality may appear, they never forget their early steps and enjoy welcoming and helping others less confident.

Some of our visitors take long breaks and then return to renew their link to the club. Others, including me, hardly miss a night at the club. Some have over this time transitioned from male to full time female. Some have found at the club partners both male and female. Some have in this time married (we have even hosted wedding receptions at the club). Many have made firm friendships meeting their new friends outside the club developing a fulfilling transgender lifestyle. Many have enjoyed the contests and opportunities to perform and some have become more regular entertainers at the club or gone on to entertain or enter other contests outside the club.

When I am talking with those that are the most hard working, influential, role models and creative trannies I am always happy to be reminded that so many of these wonderful people took their first steps at The WayOut Club.

It is no wonder then that in 2008 The WayOut Club was awarded one of the first 'Sparkle' TG awards for .... 'Best Transgender Club' .... However what really thrilled me was when Leah True who organised the awards told me that when the voting at sparkle.org was opened that The WayOut Club leapt into the lead. I was even more thrilled to hear that the votes came, not just from the UK, but also from countries all around the world reflecting the breadth of our visitors over 15 years since 1993.

I know from these visitors who consistently tell me, there is no other club like WayOut in the world and certainly none embracing such diversity in such a relaxed and friendly way. I will take a small amount of praise for this fact but know that it is all those that visit the club that create and preserve the amazing phenomena that is WayOut.

What is the breakdown of those that visit WayOut ?
We are very often asked to be more specific and give a break down of the types of visitors to the club. Well every week is different but on average 30% are weekly or monthly regulars. 40% are friends, family and guys who may be friends, partners, trannies who do not dress in public, admirers, and those that want to meet and chat with trans girls. So that leaves 60% who are Transgendered and always include (though we do not encourage labels) part time and regular TVs, Transvestites, Cross Dressers, T Girls, She Males, Lady Boys, Drag Queens and some of the most gorgeous pre and post op Transsexuals from all around the world.
Visitors from overseas during a vacation or business trip who are "in the know" make a bee line to the WayOut Club. Students studying photography, journalism, sociology, anthropology etc often visit the club to meet our 'girls' to get help with their college projects.

We all love to chat
Remember that for most visitors the opportunity to openly talk about all the things that interest them (from make up to football) rarely exists (at least not dressed in your best frock) outside the club. That is why everybody loves to chat.
