A fabulous meeting, none of that dusty dreary all in favour hands up nonsense… well there was a very small amount of that… it was completely delicious hot food, ideas and interest, chat and catch up, and planning. Apparently there was salad as well as incredible curries and sweet pudding that we devoured (ahem some of us having seconds +). Then a tasty cuppa with a completely lovely bunch of people all meeting to promote LGBT visibility in the region. Once we got passed the food (did I mention we had delicious food) and the business bit (we voted it all accepted), we organized a strategy for next year. Yay, we plan to work together with other LGBT organisations, we have enough enthusiasm and energy to make our ideas real even though we all do it voluntarily (no paid workers here) and we have lots of really interesting ideas for 2015. We plan to have another LGBT Ball in 2015 which is our 10th anniversary and one of our partner organisations, Hart Gables 10th too! There’ll be a selection of workshops and activities in the coming year, from more IT development to personal and political action, and maybe some telling of our own stories. We don’t have the money to do it all yet, but we will seek it out and you can stay in touch with us via social media to see how we are doing. We now have an improved website, tadah, with facebook, a blog and twitter all up and running, and hope to add more social media tools as the year progresses. If you have any ideas questions or want to become a member, find us,, like us follow us on ‘The LGBT Fed’.
