Met LGBT Update!

Ok, so Society 101 was a bit of a, well only 8 people came. You have now signed up, and whilst you don't have to attend everything, it would be great if you could attend Destination Met and Met at the Movies. The movie night will actually be cancelled and a second Society 101 be put on with a quiz and other fun stuff! PLEASE come to at least those events so that we can get Met LGBT moving.

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

I hope to see more of you all soon.

PS Can some people volunteer to help on Weds with decoration and being on the door for Destination Met?
