29 January 2008
Dear Friends,
It feels as if the New Year has just started and February is already making its presence known.
We have some exciting things to announce.
Several people living in quite remote or far away places in the North of Scotland have rung me at regular intervals asking me how they could get in contact with other LGBT people. I thought about this, made a few enquiries and I am happy to announce two initiatives.
Join the lgbtnorthscotland online community

Start of an LGBT group in Lochaber
On the 19th of March 2008, the first LgbtLochaber evening will take place at the Fusion Space, The Nevis Centre, An-Aird, Fort William, PH33 6AN. The evening will run from 6.30-9pm. So, LGBT people in Lochaber, what are you waiting for? We are looking forward to meeting you. LgbtLochaber will meet bi-monthly.
Apart from these new initiatives there are of course the monthly LGBT social gatherings and sexual health activities. Included you find the programme.
I hope that you are all well and look forward to seeing you or hearing from you: on the phone, via e-mail, letter or…via the lgbtnorthscotland online group. Nowadays, there is so much choice!

High Art
101 minutes, United States (1998), 18
Ambition, sacrifice, seduction and other career moves... a nuanced exploration of junk addiction, work trials and sapphic desire
When an ambitious magazine gofer (Mitchell) bumps into a junkie photographer (Sheedy), she detects a gilt-edged career development opportunity and persuades her editors to commission a piece from the artist. But while shepherding the sapphic snapper through her first commercial shoot in 10 years, the editor develops a strong desire for her new friend.

Reading Group March
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides.
As it is quite a big read, I thought it useful to announce it already now. It gives you plenty of time to read a great book. I look forward to hearing your views in March.
