What we’re about
Friendly popular SOCIAL GROUP, meeting Tuesday evenings, 4-weekly, in LGBTQ-friendly venues in and around Liverpool city centre.
We currently meet in "Lime Street Central", 51 Lime Street(between Lime St station and Lidl), Liverpool L1 1JQ
MEMBERS AND ATTENDEES HAVE TO BE 18+
LGBTQ PEOPLE ONLY.
{the Q in LGBTQ refers to anyone who is under the umbrella of Queer; it does not refer to people who are just STARTING to question their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, (as in Q for questioning); ie you have to be ready enough -with support!- to actually ATTEND a (in real world)meet; we will even meet you at the door, if we have the resources on the day:}
For all lgbtq people , from age 18 upwards(average attendance is about 50-70!)
PLEASE NOTE, this is a Social Group; not a support group.
However, if anyone is struggling, we do chat to you-as hosts- and signpost you to more specific support(see below) :)
This, obviously, does not mean that you cannot attend our group; but you can have support, AND meet other lgbtq people in our Social Group, ie in parallel!:)
THE GROUP HAS ONE OR TWO WELCOME/INTRO MEETINGS AT 6.30,and about 6.50, ie at THE START of each meet, so you can get to know others in a relaxed way.
So the group is appropriate for people who have recently come out as lgbtq; and/or as an alternative to the commercial lgbtq scene;or if you are new to the area, or to our group in particular
There are a minimum of two hosts(usually three) so you will be individually welcomed, whatever time you arrive:)
There are plenty of different-sized tables, so you can easily mingle, if you want to!
***
Group established over 10 years.
PLEASE NOTE; this is a group where you can be yourself(including as lgbtq!).
The venues are known LGBTQ-friendly venues; but there will be members of the general public at the venue. At our current,regular venue- "Lime Street Central"-- we book a semi-separate area.
We meet in venues where you can either have a full meal(including veggie!); or JUST an alcohol/soft drink or tea/coffee/cake
£6 MINIMUM SPEND(recommended) PER PERSON(for the whole evening!)
NB ACTS OF GOD: the Organiser reserves the right to CANCEL/POSTPONE the event, including at short notice, in the case of, eg , Organising Team illness, power cuts,cancellation by venue,etc.
We have a policy of mutual respect; and everyone is treated equally regardless of gender identity,race, sexual orientation,class, HIV status, (dis)ability.
PLEASE NOTE,as this is a private group(meeting on the premises of others' venues;we have no premises of our own), anything that occurs between attendees or members is a private matter between them; and should be resolved between individuals.
We ask that members and attendees are respectful of others' sexual, emotional and physical boundaries in every way.
As this is a private group,and attendees are on a private guest-list,the Organiser reserves the right not to admit,or to remove,members,without explanation.
Please note, we signpost people, who want support,-with sexual orientation/gender identity/sexual health issues-to, for example, the Sahir House; its not that we do not want to help; its just they have expertise in these fields☺. You are still welcome to attend our group, in parallel!:)
You can contact me on [email protected], if you have any additional questions. I am Steve, the Organiser.
We also have a Book Group; and Creative Writing Group; and a Games Group :
