The final night after 6 years for Stormes as Stepney's for its venue, enormous amounts of sadness clearly shown by all the bar staff, gentlemen at the door, venue staff and Manageress Vickie that we are parting company but I am sure it will not be to long before Stormes re-emerges at a new venue to continue being probably the best Transgender nightclub in the UK. Suffering quite badly and with restricted movement after slipping a disc in my back, I still managed to make it through our last night at Stepney's and get a few pictures of the Guest's that came to say farewell to the venue. A video of the evening has been filmed and if the quality allows will be available for sale in a week or so, all proceeds going to help Stormes in its search for a new venue. A very special thank you to Lisa and Greg, Jan and Brian, Suzanne and quite a few other very special people for helping me in my search for an alternative venue. The pictures from the night will be going up over the course of the week, as sitting at the keyboard for to long in my current state is proving to be very painful, also tears of sadness writing this last page are in danger of shorting out my keyboard so I would be grateful if you would bear with me. Julia, winner of the entry ticket draw for a bottle of bubbly, Leah, Ms Debonair, Rob, Pandora De Pledge and Sue get together for a big group picture. Pandora and Sue hold me in an upright position while Debonair does the honours. A big thank you to Pandora and Rob for helping to keep my chin up at the mountainous task of finding a new venue. Catherine looked fabulous out on the dance-floor. Frankie made the trip up with Wendy for the farewell night, thank you for being so supportive. Fairly new Girl to Stormes Annie, joins us for a farewell. A last seductive pose from Tina out on the dance-floor. Suzanne and Ally came along to join us as well. Lovely lady Dawn will miss her nights with us. Celeste is going to be in trouble if we do not find a new venue for her to dance the night away in. A bit of disappointment clearly showing on Bernie and Celeste's faces. Tamara and Andrea have a pose for us together. A passionate last night dance for Nic and Pauline. Angie give us her 'What are we going to do now ?' pose. A last big smile from Beth. A last pose from Alison. A farewell smile from Brenda. And where is Janice going to shine on a Saturday night ?. Lydia gets her ears in, Joanne gets to wear her special occasion dress and Kerry just looks gorgeous. Christine and Angie joined us all the way over from Germany. Lana looked fabulous up in the £1 seats. So lovely to see Eva once again. New girl Vickie looks a little pre-occupied. UK Angel Bobby Jo and Marg out in the Pink room could not resist a farewell visit. It all started here for Angel Serena. Claire takes time out from delving into her purse for a picture. Gail helps Jasmin to stay upright (giggle). Fab friend Sarah is going to miss Stepney's as much as me, she was there nearly every week. Tracy and Tina in what can be best described as an 'I want some of them' picture. Kirsty and Karol looking absolutely fabulous. Still out in the Pink room, this time with Angels Danni and Fiona. Some Girls are just to busy to have a pose, Natalie, Michelle and Sian. A fab pose from Sian and Samantha. Long distance travellers, friends and staunch Stormes Guests, Frankie and Wendy.

All in black for tonight, Tamara, well it is a sad day for Stormes. The lovely Sarah was there at the end. Raunchy Rock Chick Tanya came along with Sandra. Amber came along as well. The fabulous Barbie was out to shake her cute bits for the last time at Stepney's. Charlotte has a pose with Penny. First time here for Nikki and Jenny, they just loved the atmosphere so much, I am sure they will be joining us when we have found a new venue. Pure self indulgence time for Vickie and myself, I have loved every minute of working with Vickie at Stepney's and I am sure she will be down to enjoy herself with us at our new venue. A totally Gorgeous Tish. The Bar Staff, Terrie, Sherri, Maureen, Carol and Carol (thank you so much for being so much fun to work with, I will miss you all) had a little treat for DJ Keith and I think he enjoyed every minute of it. A great big thank you to all the Gentlemen, Joe, Max, Kim and Zak for looking after the Girls each Saturday and for making my time at Stepney's so trouble free. Finally a contribution picture from Bobby Jo It was a great pleasure and something I looked forward to each weekend, greeting all the fabulous Guests to Stormes at Stepney's highlighted my week and hopefully I can look forward to greeting a lot more Guests at a new venue. Keep checking back for up to the minute information on where Stormes will be opening soon.
