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

Joy Howard whose life was turned up-side down when she finally embraced her lesbian feelings at 40 years of age, is the author of 'Exit Moonshine, Coming Out and Carrying on,' poems infused with excitement, bewilderment, heartache, frustration, but above all, the feeling of coming home. After a long career in social services she is now focussed on her poetry and Grey Hen Press, which she co-foundered.
