This was really really helpful for getting over that first hurdle of walking through the door and up to a group of people - on your own.

Now THAT is an amazing and very thoughtful idea. I wish someone would do something like this in Sydney. I know there is a B/F community in Sydney but even though I joined the Femme Guild, it's still difficult to get into.
