How to join
The group is free to join and open to not only the entire LGBT Community but indeed any one with conections either family or otherwise.  This an open forum-where every one is welcome!

We are a forum group that is open to all members of the LGBT community. Starting out around two years ago with just a hand full of members we have now gone on to attract over 40 community members to our very laid back and informal meetings which are held at 6.30 at the Town Hall on the second Thursday of the month .  Over the years we have had many diverse and interesting speakers to our gatherings, professionals discussing, amongst other things: Council housing, Benefit enquiries, The Police and Fire Services, Blackpool Master Plan, and even a talk from Special Branch! As stated earlier the meetings are extremely laid back and informal and a MUST for any one wanting to keep abreast of the latest local issues that impact your life here in Blackpool.  Come along  grab a seat and meet the guys who know exactly whats going on in our fine town.  Minutes of past meetings are available for download from the box on the right hand side.  In the immortal words of our game show host "Come on down!"
