| Cool... Super... Groovy... or
wotever? This section allows you as LGB society members to have your say and to be heard.
It can range from anything from the political to god-darn ridiculous (however for some
reason I reckon that the later is going to proove more accurate!). Anything substantial will be posted as a 'review' and will be based upon something topical, the other banter will be tossed into the pit of oblivion that we shall call 'chat-back' - here, within reason, any nonsense you send in will be posted. The aim is to update this page as frequently as we can - this depends on your enthusiasm as well as our laziness to update so unfortunately no promises can be made. To get your words of wisdom up on the big (14" or so?) screen send us an email with the subject: Chat Back. So now you know how simple it is... go-on and have some fun, go-on, go-on!! Happy chin wagging! |
| Here is a list of the more 'topical' topics we seem to be currently discussing! |
First Boxes Trip |
| First Boxes Trip 7/11/00 First major out of town trip for the Society and I was on tender hooks thinking the whole thing was going to fall flat on its face. But oh no, I forgot, I'm dealing with a bunch of queens. Finally, an hour late, Big Gay Carls - Big Gay Bus ride was heading for Exeter. A couple of bevvies at the Vaults and a few attempts by members at the Karaoke as a warm up and then on to Boxes. A bit on the quite side, as Exeter's LGB had had a party the previous night, thanks for the invite Dave. Well there was enough tottie for everyone, even if some did have to make a compromise, ahh Cinders. All in all a very good night with more trips expected to follow. Check out these fotos!

| World AIDS Day 1/12/00 |
|
The memebers of the
society as part of the fundraising for World AIDS Week took part in the task of trying to
give away over 400 condoms and love packs (which were kindly donated by the Eddystone
trust) to the hundreds of students that were at the uni to promote AIDS awarness and safe
sex. Every day of the week three members of the LGB went around at morning break and lunch
time armed with their collection tins, ribbons and condoms asking people to donate their
cash. As this was December and everyone recieved their loans 3 months earlier you can
imagine it was easier said than done - but to give them credit we raised a garnd total of
£333.34 which was presented to both the Eddystone Trust and the National AIDS Trust to
aid them in their wonderful work. (Review by Anthony) |
Fancy dress night at Boxes. 12/12/00 |

Other characters include Kwame’s best mates Bambi and Dean (who fancies Max!!), Robin (Bambi’s boyfriend) and Jordan’s boyfriend Jonno. |

However the cast doesn’t sit around worrying about being black and gay – they have other problems to deal with, such as broken families and divorce! This is a cliché turned upside down, stereotypes trampled under stiletto heals and all in a blaze of eye popping colour that makes Eastenders look like it had been filmed through a sewage coated lens… definitely one to watch!

| London
Trip Whey hey... we're going to London, well as long as everything pans out: all details will be given in the next meeting but whey hey we're going to London whoopee!!! We should get there late Friday just intime to eat, drink lots and then hit Heaven for a stonking good nite. Secondly if we go to G-A-Y on Satuday the 10th then the POPSTARZ (yes the ones from the tv who we have all watched being put through hell) are going to be there and we cant miss that!! Then hopefully time and hangovers permitting we may be able to squeeze in Camden market before heading home... fingers crossed eh? (Review John and Anthony) |

12/03/01 Well what can I say about this... well I guess I should start by telling you the 525,600 reasons to go see it if you haven't!! The talent, the songs, the story and did I mention the talent?! Ah b-geesus did I enjoy the view!! (Despite Mr. Rickitt not showing) But thats enough about me let me tell you about what we did, it started off well with what seemed like hundreds of us meeting up in the Significant Half for a couple bevvies, and then onto the play... which was terrific to say the least! Emotions ran from belly laughing to a couple of teary eyes as we watched the trials and tribulations of those young bohemians who soon became our closest friends. After the show with the tunes still ringing through our heads a few decided to brave a little more alcohol... which nicely led to us drinking with a few of the cast... and 'Crazy' starting conversation... god bless america!
