A Sunday Gay Event !

We at Village Drinks are delighted to be working with the team at the Sunday Social to help launch and deliver a fantastic new networking event specific to Sundays in London!

We wanted to get involved with this because frankly, our own events are only ever mid-week. The Sunday Social is something different for those who fancy a weekend rest, a chat, some good music, food, and the papers. Add to this the luxuries of hot food, table service, papers and games and you get the idea.
The very first event is happening at The Green Carnation, SoHo: 5pm till 11pm on Sunday 25 November.

Thank You for coming!

Just a quick note really to say thank you to everyone who attended our Halloween Party this week! We

So, news from the wire tells us that the Headmaster of Hogwarts School is gay. The most successful author of modern times, JK Rowling, described her seven-book saga as a “prolonged argument for tolerance.” Her shock announcement was greeted by applause and gasps of amazement from her audience. We at Village Drinks are firmly of the view that this is a positive announcement which will ring out with a note of hope and encouragement to the many children across the country who are bullied at school with homophobic attacks.Well done JK, and thank you!

The Village Drinks Team

The Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, has congratulated Village Drinks “for establishing itself as a key social and professional network for lesbian and gay Londoners over the past two years.” In a written statement of support for our group, he writes: “Professional social networks such as Village Drinks unite communities, break down stereotypes, and open up opportunities for lesbian and gay Londoners.”

Naturally, we’re delighted by these kind words; but we’re not resting on our laurels. We think that we could do things a bit better than we currently do; so keep watching our event line up to see what we have in store.

We at Village Drinks are not political activists. But as Channel 4 last week runs a series of documentaries and dramas to mark the 40th year anniversary of the 1967 Homosexual Reform Act being passed, decriminalizing homosexual acts in private between two adult men aged 21 and over, we on the Village Drinks team were tempted to ask, “what more is there to do?” Where next for gay rights campaigns?
