Notice Board - Lesbian Discussion Group

Dividing Line

The Lesbian Discussion Group is a friendly and welcoming group and FREE.

We meet EVERY WEDNESDAY evening at the shop from 8.00pm - 9.00pm.

Discussions are generally light-hearted, but even when controversial topics are discussed, it is always in a safe environment. An intimate and gentle place for anyone just coming out whatever their age or circumstance. At the end of each discussion those present who wish to, go on to the Glass Bar for more informal chats over a beer or lemonade. The topics for discussion are generated by the group. New topic ideas are always welcome and can be put forward at any time.
