London Irish LGBT Network
Finally! We have the details for our AGM.
2020 has been a weird one and although we can’t meet up in person,
we’d love you to join us for our virtual AGM on October 22nd at 8pm.
As well as all the usual business, we’re thrilled to have Irish author, broadcaster and
Celebrity Masterchef Champion, Riyadh Khalaf, join us for a Q&A.
Riyadh, who grew up in Bray, Co. Wicklow, presented the BBC series ‘Queer Britain’ and is also the author of ‘Yay, You’re Gay! Now What?: A Gay Boy’s Guide to Life’.
On October 30th at our AGM, our 2018 Chair, Joseph Healy, gave his report for the year.
The Network is now entering its fifth year, sixth if you include the year we spent establishing it. Over that time it has had its highpoints and low points. A year ago, having gone through a difficult period we faced many challenges but with the support of our stalwart supporter, Innisfree Housing, we have weathered the storm and have just had one of our most successful years yet. A number of new committee members joined last year, including several young people, and we also gained the expertise of Sean Hutton, a veteran campaigner in the Irish community in Britain.
Our AGM will be held on October 30th at The Cafe at The Bridge, 73 – 81 Southwark Bridge Road, London, SE1 0NQ 6.30pm Drinks refreshments 7pm Meeting.(Map and Instructions here)
If you are Irish and #LGBTQ come along and hear what we’re up to and we are planning in the year ahead.
This year we have marched in London Pride and the London St Patrick’s Festival organised a play reading of the work of a young gay Irish playwright who died in London of AIDS in the 80s and held a talk by a rising young historian about the history of the radical LGBTQ movement in Ireland and their involvement with the campaign against the 8th Amendment in 1983.
