Getting active again
2006
“We’ve tended to get very isolated from
things, which is a shame, but what is the movement, now, we used to go
to things that were for younger people, what else is there, there isn’t
a big movement that we would be part. Bridget said “There was about a
ten year period when we had very little to do but just spend time with
friends, having meals in each other’s houses. More recently we’ve got
more involved again, going to things in town, the Gay Birmingham
Remembered thing at the Library (February 2006), Rainbow Voices
concerts, those sort of things, we’re coming out of our shell a bit,
there was an exhibition in the library, and we get emails – we’ve
signed up to (the Birmingham Pride community Trust e-group) telling us
what’s going on so we’re back in the loop.”
