Looking for a friendly social group for gays in the South London area?
Then South London Gays — SLG — could be what you're looking for.
Set up ten years ago from the previous Wimbledon Area Gay Society (WAGS), SLG
provides a wide range of events and activities for its members.
Meetings
SLG's main focus is on the monthly meetings with guest speakers. These take place on the second Tuesday of each month at a pub in Clapham, South London. Speakers have included local MPs, gay writers, religious representatives, journalists, and members of Lesbian and gay political groups.
Speakers in the last few months have included:
- Jason Pollock, Chief Executive of Pride London
- Rev Colin Coward of the Changing Attitude Trust
- Professor Jeffrey Weeks of London Southbank University
View details of the forthcoming programme of speakers.
Social events
Another strong feature of SLG activity has been theatre visits. Over the past year visits have ranged from Equus at the Gielgud Theatre, to Buddy at Wimbledon Theatre, through to a rehearsed reading of the Laramie Project by the Southside Players.
The group also arrange regular cinema and restaurant visits, tennis matches, and tea parties and coffee evenings in members' homes.
Social visits have included exhibitions at the Royal Academy and National Portrait Gallery, as well as days out in Brighton, Bournemouth and Worthing, and visits to 10 Downing Street, the Freemasons‘ Hall, Danson House in Welling and the Hindu Temple in Neasden.
Other activities
Although primarily a social group, SLG has been involved in various letter-writing campaigns on gay issues over many years and is involved in joint events with other gay groups in London and Surrey.
Membership
Membership of SLG costs £6 per year (£4 unwaged) and you do not have to live in South London!
