Gay Camberwell

I have returned from the wilds of Scotland, and it is just as well really, because Gay Camberwell is turning into a bit of a full time job! You may notice to your left that a new tab has appeared on the links menu: Launch Events. Note the plural. Of course the centrepiece of the events is our lovely launch party on the 19th November (write it in your diary now!) and I am rather excited to announce that so far we have the pleasure of the company of three celebrities of the gay world, all of whom live locally, and will be attending and performing at the party. Three so far... so check the website for updates. And bring your friends along. It's going to be good.

Not liking to do things by halves, Gay Camberwell launch party has turned into Gay Camberwell launch month. The Sun and Doves is having a gay and lesbian film season, screening gay films every Tuesday in November, so do pop along and grab a beer... or one of their special Gay Camberwell cocktails (you think I'm joking, but I'm not), and enjoy the films. That's all we have confirmed on the launch page of the website but in the next few days we're hoping to confirm special Gay Camberwell events at the Oval House Theatre, South London Gallery, and Red Star, all of whom have been very enthusiastic about gaycamberwell.com.

Indeed I was at the Red Star only this evening, chatting to the lovely Paul (you see, it IS a full time job) and he told me all about the many gay events currently going on at the Red Star. All rather popular, but not terribly well known to Camberwell residents. Or maybe that's just me... Fortunately all that is to change, as events will now be publicised on the Gay Camberwell calendar. Considering the foreboding appearance of the outside, the Red Star is actually rather cool inside, and holds some really interesting nights. Details about November's top Red Star gay events will be online soon.

And with all this activity, I've barely had time to sit down. But I was in The Bear on Sunday for a quick drink with my girlfriend Roz and friend, both of whom were extremely complimentary about the brunch. I was jealous.

And finally, there have been some more updates to the website besides the launch details: photos of our lovely area, taken by Roz last weekend, can be found both in cheery slideshow format (see "Photo Gallery" tab) and also attached to the appropriate webpages throughout the site. It makes you proud to live in Camberwell. Also, we have a new messageboard, easier to use, so do use it! After all that work, I'm looking forward to a Gay Camberwell cocktail from the Sun and Doves...
