Hey, this is a quick hello from Laura C from Summer Camp 2011… Yay!!!

Everybody is having an amazing time and have enjoyed really exciting things such as It’s a Knockout, Mexican Pie, Yoga, Hate Crime Workshops, Coming Out Poetry Workshops and so much more.

Can’t believe it’s the last day tomorrow, but I’m sure we’re all going to have an amazing time for the rest of Camp!

Bye for now, Laura C.

Well done to all our young women who took part in the Pride Youth Games and Pride Games Celebrations over the past 2 weeks, especially Alice and Rachel who picked up two gold medals and one bronze for the swimming events.

Also well done goes out to the group who went to Plough Hatch farm near Gatwick to exhibit about our allotment and to showcase our new film to a packed village hall of over 50 people! Thanks to all the Universities who helped with the project especially Manchester University

Our alotment project supported by Manchester University is really going from strength to strength, see likt booklet for allotment produced by Doctor Niamh Moore for a bit more information on what we are up to and to pick up some top tips for yourself!

If you think pregnancy is not an issue for lesbian and bisexual women, think again. See the report which shows the links and reasons why lesbian and bisexual women become pregnant at a young age.

Hi all,

I just thought I would make you all aware of a great program on  BBC IPlayer at the moment  called “Suffragette City” which is part of the History of the world series.

Synopisis from IPlayer :

“It was the campaign that changed the lives of British women forever. Actress Sheila Hancock is given unprecedented access to the Museum of London’s treasure trove of rare objects that tell the extraordinary story of the suffragettes and their battle for the vote.”

It’s avalible to watch or download until Monday 24th May 2010

Hope you enjoy it.

The 3rd weekly Tuesday session was arty this week. After having a bit of a chat and a brew we took a look at some street stencil art and talked about how we could decorate our allotment raised beds with something similar.

Everyone then made their own design and cut out the template ready to spray in another session soon (we ran out of time for this one, some of the designs were pretty detailed!!)
