Met LGBT Update!

Wow! That is all I have to say! All 3 Freshers Fairs were a major sucess and the membership stands at 115! But I am sure we can do better. Don't forget anyone can join and we would really like people, LGBT or straight to join - the point is to make a group where people care about LGBT issues and can campaign on them.

www.metlgbt.co.uk is now live! It has loads of information on them and I would urge you to visit it!

All of the events I mention are going to be good - so why not come along! I would highly recommend you all coming to Society 101 - it is the first meeting and will be a really good chance to meet new people!

I hope to see more of you all soon.
