Secondly, just to let you know that if anyone contacted David about the charity Dhiverse last week, if you could re-send your message to tomlinson@cantab.net because he’s had some issues with the other address. Thanks!

This is a reminder that CUSU LGBT will be screening Maurice (a highly acclaimed 1987 film) in Kings (Keynes Seminar Room) at 8 pm.

Here is the abstract:

Two male English school chums find themselves falling in love at Cambridge. To regain his place in society, Clive gives up his forbidden love, Maurice, and marries. While staying with Clive and his shallow wife, Anne, Maurice finally discovers romance in the arms of Alec, the gamekeeper. Written from personal pain, it’s E.M. Forster’s story of coming to terms with sexuality in the Edwardian age.

2. Demin @ Queens’ College – Friday 11/11 at 9pm

The theme for lent term’s issue of CUSU’s LGBT magazine will be ‘queer’, in honour of February being queer history month, and submissions are more than welcome in (but not limited to) articles, opinions, style, poetry, reviews, illustration, photography, advice, fiction, blogs etc. If you’ve got any ideas, want to submit something (the list above is just for starters!), have any questions, or just want a magazine-orientated chat, pop by – no commitment!

1. New Ladies’ LGBT club night and pre-drinks @ Ta Bouche & The Cow – Saturday 15th from 8pm

There is a very exciting brand new LADIES’ LGBT CLUB NIGHT in Cambridge and the first one is this coming Saturday 15th! It’s going to be at The Cow from 9pm till 3am. Tickets are just £3 for students! There will also be WOMEN’S PRE-DRINKS beforehand at Ta Bouche, from 8pm (and then we can head over to The Cow at about 10pm). So come along for exciting conversation and great cocktails! And here’s a tip: if you arrive before 9pm, you’ll catch the tail-end of the Ta Bouche Saturday happy hour and drinks are half price! Seriously, what more could you want?! Look out for a stuffed possum at the pre-drinks… and in case you still can’t find us, my number is 07791 695366.

3. Sunday Social @ Waterstone’s cafe – Sunday 9/10 at 12.30am

Hey everyone!! Sunday Social will be starting this Sunday (!) from 12.30 till (around) 2 at the Cafe on the 2d floor of Waterstone’s. Sunday Social is a great opportunity to meet other people and talk over a coffee, a bite to eat or an amazingly delicious brownie. Look out for one of the following: a large group of studenty looking people engaged in deep (or not so deep) conversation, or a rather lonely Tach with a stuffed possum waiting for people to come

It’s a really welcoming event and a great way to get to know people outside
of clubbing events. And the brownies really are amazing!

Looking forward to seeing many of you (even if it’s just for half an hour)

This meeting is intended either for established students or freshers; and both for those who want to explore whether you can be Christian and gay, and for those who are looking for a gay-friendly church community. We want to emphasise that coming to this meeting is not a declaration of sexual orientation; we very much welcome people who are simply interested in the issues.
