What we’re about
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
We have slightly changed the nature of this Group:)
(for an experimental period,anyway)
You can just come and socialise at a cosier, smaller group than our main, big social group (which continues as normal!)
And/or:
You can play games (any type) and chat AROUND them; some people like games as a focus
And/or
You can just socialise/chat in a more intimate/smaller setting.
And/or
You can just concentrate on the games.
It's all fab, it's all cosy, it's all relaxed:)
The group is HOSTED;
and you will be eased into a chat/games (sub-) group by our Hosts.
NB There is no welcome meet (as such).
If you want this, it will still be provided in the big, 4 weekly SOCIAL GROUP, at Lime Street Central (and other venues).
***
RE GAMES
If you WANT to play games, we have: TRADITIONAL, ROLE-PLAY(table-top) AND PARTY BOARD(including SCRABBLE AND CHESS)/CARD GAMES.
Bring your own game(at your own risk,) and you expand an already large choice:)
We are short of table-top role-play games. However, no worries, play from our already-big selection of trad/party board and card games
Examples of TRADITIONAL BOARD and CARD AND PARTY games: eg Monopoly, Cleudo, Connect 4, draughts,Boggle,Balderdash,Articulate, etc etc; all card games.
(ALL LEVELS WELCOME , from complete beginner to advanced)
We also usually have a (table-top)role -PLAY GAMES TABLE.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Suitable for people who have just come out as lgbtq;
or new to the area/our group.
ALL MERSEYSIDE LGBTQ(18+) GROUPS ARE TRANS-AFFIRMATIVE
---------------------------------------------------------------
We have part/all of a semi-separate room at the back of the venue, with a number of tables; you can mix and match games, and/or chat,depending on who wants to play/chat what and when!
Group meets every FOUR x MONDAY evenings (6.45/7-10.00), at Cafe Tabac,126 Bold St(opposite bombed-out church), Liverpool L1 4JA
*You must be LGBTQ; and over 18 to attend all meetings. It is a safer-space group*
{the Q in LGBTQ refers to anyone who is under the umbrella of Queer; it does not refer to people who are just STARTING to question their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, (as in Q for questioning); ie you have to be ready enough -with support!- to actually ATTEND a (in real world)meet; Steve will welcome you at front door of the venue:)
We meet in mixed(non lgbtq-specific) venues; but these venues are known to be lgbtq-friendly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MINIMUM PURCHASE: a hot, soft or alcohol drink.
Cakes sometimes available
We have a policy of mutual respect; and everyone is treated equally regardless of gender identity,race, sexual orientation,class, HIV status, (dis)ability.
PLEASE NOTE,as this is a private group(meeting on the premises of others' venues;we have no premises of our own), anything that occurs between attendees or members is a private matter between them; and should be resolved between individuals.
However, we ask that members and attendees are respectful of others' sexual, emotional and physical boundaries in every way.
PREDATORY(emotional or sexual) BEHAVIOUR IS *NOT* TOLERATED
As this is a private group,and attendees are on a private guest-list,the Organiser reserves the right not to admit,or to remove,members,without explanation.
The Organising Team reserve the right to cancel/postpone meetings at short notice for acts of God, eg Organising Team illness, power cuts, cancellation by venue etc
Please note, we signpost people, who want support,-with sexual orientation/gender identity/sexual health issues-to, for example, Sahir House; its not that we do not want to help; its just they have expertise in these fields☺. You are still welcome to attend our group, in parallel!:)
You can pm me on here, or contact me on stev_arts@yahoo.co.uk, if you have any additional questions.
I am Steve, the Organiser of all four MERSEYSIDE LGBTQ(18+) GROUPS
