letter


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
I have created an online lgbt group for the north of Scotland. Lgbtnorthscotland is the online community for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgender people in the North of Scotland. It offers lgbt people, in however a remote area they are living, the opportunity to get into contact with other lgbt people. This group is there for you: use it as a forum for discussion, to get to know other people, to make friends, to ask questions, to plan things, to announce LGBT events, etc. Go to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lgbtnorthscotland
, join the group, participate, and make it bubble.

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!

Best wishes
