OUTabout is back at last with a new regular Sunday night venue starting on Sunday 15th August!

We are pleased to announce that The Union Hotel, Chapel Street, Penzance and its Theatre Bar will be hosts to this NEW dedicated LGBT night, of course your friends and families are welcome too!

Exeter Pride successfully hosted its second annual Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans Pride earlier this year, attracting well over 600 people to various events throughout the day.

The Pride team, previously part of the Intercom Trust (www.intercomtrust.org.uk) has now struck out on its own and has formed a Pride Committee that runs the show!

The Pride was recently awarded a community grant from Exeter City Council at an 'Exeter Decides' event and it will be following up on the success with lots of fundraising and social event over the coming months. 

Now that plans for the 2011 Pride event are underway the Committee are looking for some fresh faces with fresh ideas to join them in various volunteering, including fundraisers, stewards and general committee members (millionaire philanthropists are also welcome)

We are currently working on a fabulous new profile and forum system.

The Pony Club - a social networking group for lesbian, gay and bi-sexual women - is celebrating its first birthday with a Medieval Masked Ball.

The group was set up by friends in Bournemouth who lamented the lack of exciting events for women in the area. It has proved popular since and membership goes from strength to strength.

Intercom is delighted to announce that as part of this year’s Pride Torbay celebrations, the PITCH campaign is hosting a 6-a-side football tournament for Torbay Pride. The aim of the PITCH (Proactive Initiative To Challenge Homophobia) tournament is to celebrate awareness of the diverse community groups within Torbay and further afield who share a passion for football. PITCH’s Sports Education Outreach Worker has been working over the last five months to create a sustainable community resource to tackle homophobia in sport and make it more accessible to LGBT people. This event will serve to raise awareness of the issues surrounding homophobia in football and will provide participants with a fun yet competitive tournament.

The knock-out tournament will be played on the Astro Turf and supporters are very warmly welcomed.
If you would like to enter a team, please let Joe from Intercom Trust know by email.

So, we have traveled extensively over the South West this year, with an addional pride in bristol to add to our list, but please lets not get ahead of ourselves, cast your mind back if you can to February when Exeter Pride took its first flight.
Hosted at the Exeter Pheonix, Exeter Pride was the first of the seasons and didn’t dissapoint . With its first Parade, around 300 people walked with Pride through the City with a 50 metre rainbow flag (jointly owned by Exeter pride, Plymouth pride event and intercom) and spent the day enjoying a variety of activites and entertainment at the Phoenix.
Next we had Torbay Pride with a week of events leading up to the main pride weekend hosting a veritable plethora of activities and events such as the Homophobia in Footballs awareness rasiing tournement with Intercoms Sports Outreach Worker.

Tallulah is a new communtiy perfomrance group meeting weekly in the Bristol area.  It welcomes lesbian, gay, bi and trans women who have a passion for perfromance and want to be part of a like minded theatre community. We wouldn’t norally promote groups in Bristol as its out of the area we cover, but this unique group looks really great and Louise, the organiser would consider bringing a group to an interested crowd – so don’t be shy to contact her even it’s a bit far for you to travel. 
Group meets every Thursday starting on June 10th. Contact Louise for more information on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The Chillout café has now been running for roughly six months and was getting great mixed crowds every month. However over the last three months numbers have been declining and the group was wondering why! If any one has any feedack for the group, or ideas to pick it up again – please email them on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and let them know.
Alterntively if you would be interested in hosting a similar group or volunteering for the existing one – please let them know.

Unfortuntately the café will cease to be if no one uses it, if you don’t use it, you loose it!
