The Closing Meal - 6.30 pm

A Special Indian meal at a top class restaurant has been booked for 6:30pm. All attending Sparkle are invited to join us at the well known Sangam Indian Restaurant, 9-19 Wilmslow Road, Rusholme, M14 5TB.

This is a restaurant well known to the local trans community, is only a short walk from the Metropolitan Community Church, and is particularly suitable for those not used to being out in public. It is also accessible to wheelchair users and will cater for vegetarians. It is one of the best budget Indian restaurants in Manchester and is very trans-friendly, regularly being used for trans group meals.

Cost is a very reasonable at £ 12-15 per person (including a small tip for the restaurant), depending on what you eat and your consumption of alcohol. This event is being organised by the MCC Manchester Trans Discussion Group and Unique TG Support Network, especially for Sparkle.
