It’s time to hunt out your glad rags and come to Gay Scarborough’s Masked Ball on Friday 5th February 2010. We are hoping to raise money for the next Pride in the Park event and so Gay Scarborough will be hosting this fabulous ball at The Albion, Castle Road, Scarborough.

The evening promises to be filled with fun and laughter with entertainment and food for everyone!

Jane Shutt, Chair of Gay Scarborough said “Following on from the great success of Scarborough Gay Pride 2009 we wanted to say thank you to all who supported us by putting on another fantastic event. The masked ball will be great fun and ticket sales will help us fund Pride 2010”

Friday the 23rd of October sees a whole host of key players in Further Education (colleges) descend on York for the unique "Learner Voices on Homophobia" event to hear our stories of being LGBT and how that impacts on our college experiences as well as asking for our ideas on how to make things better.

Some members of Blagy have been invited along with other LGBT youth from across the region and we will be taking part in discussion panels and roundtable talks.

If you would like to attend then lunch is provided and travel can be paid for and promises to be a exciting and valuable experience. For more details email rmishka@shm-ltd.co.uk or call 0207 242 5504.

This is an exciting new project which aims to bring people together to celebrate the strengths and diversities of the LGBT community in Bradford.

It is a creative project which will be delivered in the centre of Bradford on a weekly basis by artists, a film/animation maker and a graphic designer as well as workers from the Equity Centre and Yorkshire MESMAC who have developed the project in collaboration with Artworks.

The sessions will involve art, photography, writing, creativity, fun, personal development and hopefully some tea and cake!

The exciting part (as well as getting to meet lots of interesting people, learning new transferrable skills and working out what you want from life or work and how to get it) is that we will be working on a series of artworks which will be exhibited in a city centre gallery alongside Pride in May 2010.

The weekend we have all be waiting for is finally upon us! Starting at 12, Millennium Sq will play host to 3 hours of top entertainment including Frankmusik, Preston and Jade from Eurovision before the cities LGBT parade moves the fun to Lower Brigate for a carnival atmosphere and clubbing!

Pride is free and open for anyone who wishes to attend regardless of age (but don't expect to be able to drink if you are underage).

As usual Blagy and Mesmac will be there in force in the parade with a huge flag and banners we made at our recent camp.

Contact us for more details of where we are meeting and when.

The long time home of Blagy is having its makeover! Starting next week the current Blagy building with have the builders in making it even better and helping it keep up with our ever growing group.

For that reason meetings from now on will be at a nearby location. Anyone who has been to a recent meeting will be aware of where this will be. Anyone who hasn't been in a while or would like to start coming should contact us using the contact page.

Blagy have just returned from a weekend of camping, joined by Liberate, Fruitbowl and SLGBT for the weekend of varied activities.

We all enjoyed the opportunity to meet up with the other groups and to have a good time as well as all the stuff the youth workers put on for us. Along with walking and team building games we created some banners for the upcoming Leeds Pride parade.
You can see all the photos over in the photo galleries or read on to see what the other members said about the weekend.
