Pride: 30th June. Volunteers still wanted!

So I didn’t get much more involved in pride in the end this year. Work has been hectic, and pride seems to have coped perfectly well without me (No surprise there!). It does look like I’ll be volunteering on the day – possibly signing in other volunteers, as I have in previous years – or maybe doing other things. As they have each year, there seem to be a few good sounding changes to the setup, so it will be interesting to see how they work in practice.

It is not too late to sign up yourself, and whilst they like to know in advance that you’re coming, there is nothing stopping you turning up on the day. Head to the pride parade assembly area, on Baker Street, a few hours before the start. Look for the signs to Steward Control. Now I hope we remember signs for Steward Control…

Congratulations!

Something I’ve known was coming for a while, that I can now talk about.

Congratulations to Liam and Brett on their engagement. It sounds like New York has been fun. It was certainly a great evening on Thursday, and I was honoured to be present at the start of something new. I also now understand why there weren’t airline tickets in the envelope that Brett opened – Liam wasn’t done with the surprises at that point :-)

Volunteering for Pride 2007

Tonight I went along to one of Soho’s fine bars with Richard for an early meeting about London Pride. I’ve been involved as a volunteer for a couple of years now, and I’m going to have to decide whether to get even more involved soon. In the meantime, a short plug for stewarding on the day. I’ve done it a few times, and it’s great fun. If you think you might be interested, sign up here. If you’re more interested in coming along to watch, keep Saturday, June 30th free.
